We have moved!

You are currently looking at documentation for Umbraco 8 and older versions.
An automated guess is that docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/slider/ could be the link to the new documentation for Umbraco 9 and newer versions.

    Slider

    Alias: Umbraco.Slider

    Returns: decimal or Umbraco.Core.Models.Range<decimal>

    Pretty much like the name indicates this Data type enables editors to choose a value with a range using a slider.

    There are two flavors of the slider. One with a single value picker. One with a minimum and maximum value.

    Without Modelsbuilder

    @if (Model.HasValue("singleValueSlider"))
{
    var value = Model.Value<decimal>("singleValueSlider");
    <p>@value</p>
}

@if (Model.HasValue("multiValueSlider"))
{
    var value = Model.Value<Umbraco.Core.Models.Range<decimal>>("multiValueSlider");
    <p>@(value.Minimum) and @(value.Maximum)</p>
}

    With Modelsbuilder

    // with a range off
@if (Model.SingleRangeSlider != null)
{
    var value = Model.SingleRangeSlider;
    <p>@value</p>
}

// with a range on
@if (Model.MultiValueSlider != null)
{
    var minValue = Model.MultiValueSlider.Minimum;
    var maxValue = Model.MultiValueSlider.Maximum;
    <p>@minValue and @maxValue</p>
}

    Add values programmatically

    See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.

    With a range off

    @{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services.ContentService;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'singleValueSlider'. 
    content.SetValue("singleValueSlider", 10);

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

    With a range on

    @{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services.ContentService;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Create a variable for the desired value of the 'multiValueSlider' property
    var range = new Range<decimal> {Minimum = 10, Maximum = 12};

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'multiValueSlider'. 
    content.SetValue("multiValueSlider", range);

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

    Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

    @{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234); 
}

    If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:

    @{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'singleValueSlider'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.SingleValueSlider).Alias, 10);

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'multiValueSlider'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.MultiValueSlider).Alias, new Range<decimal> {Minimum = 10, Maximum = 12});
}
