SwiftUI Slider Tutorial

A Slider object is a visual control used to select a single value from a continuous range of values. Sliders are always displayed as horizontal bars. An indicator, or thumb indicates the current value of the slider and can be moved by the user to change the setting. In this tutorial, a Slider and a Text view will be displayed. When moving the slider, the corresponding value will be displayed inside the Text view. In this tutorial .SwiftUI requires Xcode 11 and MacOS Catalina, for which the Betas can be downloaded at the Apple developer portal.

Open Xcode and either click Create a new Xcode project in Xcode’s startup window, or choose File > New > Project . In the template selector, select iOS as the platform, select the Single View App template, and then click Next . Enter SwiftUISliderTutorial as the Product Name, select the Use SwiftUI checkbox, and click Next . Choose a location to save the project on your Mac.

In the canvas, click Resume to display the preview. If the canvas isn’t visible, select Editor > Editor and Canvas to show it.

In the Project navigator, click to select ContentView.swift . Change the code inside the ContentView struct to

struct ContentView : View {
    // 1.0
    @State var sliderValue = 0.0
    var minimumValue = 0.0
    var maximumvalue = 100.0
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            HStack {
                Text("\(Int(minimumValue))")
                // 2.
                Slider(value: $sliderValue, from: minimumValue, through: maximumvalue, by: 10)
                Text("\(Int(maximumvalue))")
            }.padding()
            // 3.
            Text("\(Int(sliderValue))")
        }
    }
}
