slider(label: str, min_val: int, max_val: int, step: int, default: int)

The slider function adds an interactive slider to your app, enabling users to input numerical values within a specified range. This is especially useful for dynamic controls, such as selecting a range or adjusting parameters.

​

Parameters

• label (str): The label displayed next to the slider, indicating its purpose.
• min_val (int): The minimum value the slider can take.
• max_val (int): The maximum value the slider can take.
• step (int): The step size between values on the slider.
• default (int): The initial/default value of the slider.
• size (float): (Optional) The width of the component in a row. Defaults to 1.0 (full row). See the Layout Guide for details.

​

Usage Example

Here’s an example of how to add a slider to your app:

from preswald import slider

# Create a slider for selecting the number of rows to display
value = slider(
    label="Rows to Display",
    min_val=1,
    max_val=100,
    step=10,
    default=20
)

# Use the selected value
print(f"Slider selected value: {value}")

​

Key Features

1. Customizable Range: Define the range of values with min_val and max_val.
2. Adjustable Precision: Control increments using the step parameter.
3. Default Selection: Set a sensible starting point with the default parameter.
4. Real-Time Input: Values update dynamically as the user interacts with the slider.
