Getting Started
The Basics
There are two types of sliders in Kendo UI:
- Kendo UI Slider, which presents one thumb and two opposing buttons for selecting a single value.
- Kendo UI RangeSlider, which presents two thumbs for defining a range of values.
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI Slider in the Spring MVC framework.
Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.
Step 2 Create a new action method.
@RequestMapping(value = { "/", "/index" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index() {
return "web/slider/index";
}
Step 3 Add the Kendo UI taglib mapping to the page.
<%@taglib prefix="kendo" uri="https://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/jsp/tags"%>
Step 4 Add a slider tag.
<kendo:slider name="slider" class="temperature" min="0" max="30" smallStep="1" largeStep="10" value="18">
</kendo:slider>
Event Handling
Subscribe to Events
You can subscribe to all events exposed by Kendo UI Slider by the handler name.
<kendo:slider name="slider" change="sliderOnChange" slide="sliderOnSlide">
</kendo:slider>
<script>
function sliderOnSlide(e) {
kendoConsole.log("Slide :: new slide value is: " + e.value);
}
function sliderOnChange(e) {
kendoConsole.log("Change :: new value is: " + e.value);
}
</script>
Reference
Existing Instances
You are able to reference an existing Slider instance via jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the Slider API to control its behavior.
// Put this after your Kendo Slider tag declaration
<script>
$(function() {
// Notice that the name attribute of the slider is used to get its client-side instance
var slider = $("#slider").data("kendoSlider");
});
</script>
