bootstrap-slider [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/seiyria/bootstrap-slider.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/seiyria/bootstrap-slider)
================
Originally began as a loose "fork" of bootstrap-slider found on http://www.eyecon.ro/ by Stefan Petre.

Over time, this project has diverged sigfinicantly from Stefan Petre's version and is now almost completly different.

__Please ensure that you are using this library instead of the Petre version before creating issues in the repository Issue tracker!!__

Installation
============
Clone the repository, then run `npm install`

Want to use bower? `bower install seiyria-bootstrap-slider`

Want to use npm? `npm install bootstrap-slider`

Then load the plugin CSS and JavaScript into your web page, and everything should work!

Remember to load the plugin code after loading the Bootstrap CSS and JQuery.

__JQuery is optional and the plugin can operate with or without it.__

Look below to see an example of how to interact with the non-JQuery interface.

Supported Browsers
========
__We only support modern browsers!!! Basically, anything below IE9 is not compatible with this plugin!__

Examples
========
You can see all of our API examples [here](http://seiyria.github.io/bootstrap-slider/).

Using bootstrap-slider (with JQuery)
======================

Create an input element and call .slider() on it:

```js
// Instantiate a slider
var mySlider = $("input.slider").slider();

// Call a method on the slider
var value = mySlider.slider('getValue');

// For non-getter methods, you can chain together commands
	mySlider
		.slider('setValue', 5)
		.slider('setValue', 7);
```

If there is already a JQuery plugin named _slider_ bound to the namespace, then this plugin will take on the alternate namespace _bootstrapSlider_.

```
// Instantiate a slider
var mySlider = $("input.slider").bootstrapSlider();

// Call a method on the slider
var value = mySlider.bootstrapSlider('getValue');

// For non-getter methods, you can chain together commands
	mySlider
		.bootstrapSlider('setValue', 5)
		.bootstrapSlider('setValue', 7);
```

Using bootstrap-slider (without JQuery)
======================

Create an input element in the DOM, and then create an instance of Slider, passing it a selector string referencing the input element.

```js
// Instantiate a slider
var mySlider = new Slider("input.slider", {
	// initial options object
});

// Call a method on the slider
var value = mySlider.getValue();

// For non-getter methods, you can chain together commands
mySlider
	.setValue(5)
	.setValue(7);
```

Loading as CommonJS module
=======
bootstrap-slider can be loaded as a CommonJS module via [Browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify), [Webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack), or some other library.

```
var Slider = require("bootstrap-slider");

var mySlider = new Slider();
```

Note that the JQuery dependency is considered to be optional. For example, to exclude JQuery from being part of your Browserify build, you would call something like the following (assuming main.js is requiring bootstrap-slider as a dependency):

```
browserify -u jquery main.js > bundle.js
```

Please see the documentation for the specific CommonJS loader you are using to find out how to exclude dependencies.

Options
=======
Options can be passed either as a data (data-slider-foo) attribute, or as part of an object in the slider call. The only exception here is the formatter argument - that can not be passed as a data- attribute.


| Name | Type |	Default |	Description |
| ---- |:----:|:-------:|:----------- |
| id | string | '' | set the id of the slider element when it's created |
| min |	float	| 0 |	minimum possible value |
| max |	float |	10 |	maximum possible value |
| step | float |	1 |	increment step |
| precision | float |	number of digits after the decimal of _step_ value |	The number of digits shown after the decimal. Defaults to the number of digits after the decimal of _step_ value. |
| orientation |	string | 'horizontal' |	set the orientation. Accepts 'vertical' or 'horizontal' |
| value |	float,array |	5	| initial value. Use array to have a range slider. |
| range |	bool |	false	| make range slider. Optional if initial value is an array. If initial value is scalar, max will be used for second value. |
| selection |	string |	'before' |	selection placement. Accepts: 'before', 'after' or 'none'. In case of a range slider, the selection will be placed between the handles |
| tooltip |	string |	'show' |	whether to show the tooltip on drag, hide the tooltip, or always show the tooltip. Accepts: 'show', 'hide', or 'always' |
| tooltip_split |	bool |	false |	if false show one tootip if true show two tooltips one for each handler |
| handle |	string |	'round' |	handle shape. Accepts: 'round', 'square', 'triangle' or 'custom' |
| reversed | bool | false | whether or not the slider should be reversed |
| enabled | bool | true | whether or not the slider is initially enabled |
| formatter |	function |	returns the plain value |	formatter callback. Return the value wanted to be displayed in the tooltip |
| natural_arrow_keys | bool | false | The natural order is used for the arrow keys. Arrow up select the upper slider value for vertical sliders, arrow right the righter slider value for a horizontal slider - no matter if the slider was reversed or not. By default the arrow keys are oriented by arrow up/right to the higher slider value, arrow down/left to the lower slider value. |
| ticks | array | [ ] | Used to define the values of ticks. Tick marks are indicators to denote special values in the range. This option overwrites min and max options. |
| ticks_labels | array | [ ] | Defines the labels below the tick marks. Accepts HTML input. |
| ticks_snap_bounds | float | 0 | Used to define the snap bounds of a tick. Snaps to the tick if value is within these bounds. |
