Range Field
Labelled range control over the slider with a live readout and an optional two-ended gradient legend.
Preview
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add range-field
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/range-field.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './range-field.js';

Guidance
Continuous value controlAdjust an intuitive continuous value.
Use when
- Use when continuous adjustment or immediate visual feedback helps users choose a value. Do not use for precise values or broad ranges without good landmarks; direct entry is better when accuracy matters.
Avoid when
- Avoid using range-field as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- micro
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- approximate
- Mobile / touch risk
- medium
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Number field for precise entry
- Select for discrete values
Anti-patterns
- Using sliders for precise or unbounded values

Slots
Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.

Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Usage
<x-ui.range-field
name="quality"
label="Quality"
:min="0"
:max="2"
:step="0.1"
:value="0.7"
:decimals="1"
legend-start="Low"
legend-end="High"
class="mx-auto w-full max-w-sm"
/>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
