How to Create price slider bar for filter section in react

In this article, we cover the topic of creating a slider in the filter section using react.js

1. Install ‘rc-slider":

we need to install therc-slider library, which provides customizable slider components for React.

npm install rc-slider

2. Implement the Price Slider Component:

Create a new component for the price slider.

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Slider from 'rc-slider';
import 'rc-slider/assets/index.css';


const PriceSlider = () => {
    const [priceRange, setPriceRange] = useState([0, 100]); // Initial price range


    const handlePriceChange = (value) => {
        setPriceRange(value);
    };


    return (
        <div style={{ margin: '20px' }}>
            <Slider
                min={0}
                max={1000}
                range
                defaultValue={priceRange}
                onChange={handlePriceChange}
            />
            <p>
                Price Range: ${priceRange[0]} - ${priceRange[1]}
            </p>
        </div>
    );
};


export default PriceSlider;

3. Use the Price Slider Component:

we can now use the PriceSlider component in your filter section or wherever you need it in your application.

import React from 'react';
import PriceSlider from './PriceSlider';


const FilterSection = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <h2>Filter Section</h2>
            <PriceSlider />
            {/* Add other filter options */}
        </div>
    );
};


export default FilterSection;

4. Customize and Style:

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the slider by passing props to the Slider component or by using custom CSS.

Summary:

• Install rc-slider library to use slider components in React.
• Create a separate component for the price slider.
• Manage slider values using React state.
• Use the component in your filter section or wherever needed.
