Range sliders are used on web pages to allow the user to specify a numeric value that should not be less than a certain value and not greater than another given value. That is, it allows you to choose a value from a range represented as a slider.

Sliders allow users to view and select a value (or range) in the range along a bar. They are ideal for adjusting settings such as volume and brightness or for applying image filters.

Sliders can use icons at either end of the bar to represent a numeric or relative scale. The range of values ​​or the nature of the values, such as the change in volume, can be communicated via icons.

Sliders should not be used to adjust parameters with a delay in providing feedback to the user.

Important points:

• Range sliders have a technical advantage over the input field as it will require less validation to be sure. For the same reason, it can benefit the user because a range slider will not generate an unnecessary error due to an “incorrect” entry.
• They are, however, somewhat limited as they cannot allow an infinite range of numbers, which makes them impractical, for example a phone number or a date.
• Range sliders work great when you have a strictly defined range that can only have a small number of values. For example, guest meal reservations or maybe a volume control.

The Range Slider is a very intuitive user interface with one or two handles to allow the user to choose a value within a limited range. The user drags a handle along a dimension to set a value.

A typical slider is usually found in the color picker where we can drag the arrow left and right to select the correct RGB value.
