Good recreation! Focus state is nice touch

Features

Track stretches with rubber-band tension when dragged past bounds.
Snaps magnetically to exact steps or continuous deciles.
Inline label and value text dynamically fade to avoid handle overlap.
Supports keyboard navigation and respects prefers-reduced-motion

Want to craft components with meticulous attention to detail—like an Elastic Slider? I highly recommend the Interface Craft course by Josh Puckett.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @ncdai/elastic-slider

Usage

import { ElasticSlider } from "@/components/elastic-slider"

const [opacity, setOpacity] = useState(0.5)
 
<ElasticSlider
  label="Opacity"
  min={0}
  max={1}
  value={opacity}
  onValueChange={setOpacity}
/>

Uncontrolled:

<ElasticSlider label="Opacity" min={0} max={1} defaultValue={0.5} />

Accessibility

Keyboard

Key	Description
`ArrowRight` `ArrowUp`	Increase by one `step`
`ArrowLeft` `ArrowDown`	Decrease by one `step`
`Shift + Arrow`	Increase or decrease by `step*10`
`Home`	Jump to `min`
`End`	Jump to `max`

Reduced motion

When prefers-reduced-motion is on, rubber-band stretch and spring-based fill motion are skipped; the handle still updates without spring transitions on opacity and scale.
