Measured entry

shadcn-slider

sliderunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React slider wrapper shipped as registry source rather than a packaged widget. It composes Radix Slider primitives, uses Tailwind utility and theme-token classes, and relies on the shadcn cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge. It creates a thumb for each supplied value and supports horizontal or vertical layouts.

Verdict

A solid fit for shadcn-based apps and range selection, with clean Radix behavior and source-level styling control. It builds and mounts as supplied, but the demo is not accessible until each slider thumb receives an accessible name, especially for multi-thumb ranges.

Use it if

  • You want a Tailwind-styled Radix slider that can handle both single values and ranges.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions, theme tokens, and the cn utility.
  • You need source-level control over thumb, track, focus, and disabled-state styling.

Skip it if

  • You need an accessible drop-in demo without adding labels, because the supplied usage leaves the slider unnamed.
  • You want a dependency-free native range input or a smaller interaction layer.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind and you do not want to translate its utility and theme-token styling.

In a non-shadcn project, add Radix UI, clsx, and tailwind-merge; provide a cn helper; configure Tailwind theme tokens used by the classes; and replace or configure the path alias. Add an accessible label or per-thumb aria-label values wherever the component is used.
