Custom Elements Documentation

Getting Started

jqxSlider is a HTML Element which represents a flexible slider that lets the user select from a range of values by moving a thumb along a track. the slider is completely customizable in terms of appearance and offers numerous configuration options like mouse wheel and keyboard support, smooth or step-based slider and support for range sliders.

Every UI element from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

The first step is to create html page and add links to the javascript files and css dependencies to your project.

The jqxSlider element requires the following files: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxcore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxcore.elements.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxdata.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxslider.js"></script>
The next step is to add the html element within the body of the html page.

<jqx-slider settings="elementSettings"></jqx-slider>
The last step is to initialize the element settings: 
<script type="text/javascript">
    JQXElements.settings["elementSettings"] =
    {
        buttonsPosition:"left", theme:"light"
    }
</script>
To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxSlider's instance. 
<script>
	window.onload = function () {
		var element = document.querySelector("jqx-slider");
		element.destroy();
	}
</script>
To get the result of a function after calling it, you can use the following syntax: 
<script>
	window.onload = function () {
		var element = document.querySelector("jqx-slider");
		var result = element.getValue();
	}
</script>
To set a property(option), you need to use the property name and value(s) along with the jqxSlider's instance. 
window.onload = function() {
	document.querySelector("jqx-slider").buttonsPosition = 'both';
}
You can also set properties of HTML Elements by using Attributes. Traditionally, attributes are used to set the initial state of an element. Properties with camelCase naming have dash-based attributes. For example: A property "dataSource" will have an attribute called "data-source".

To get a property(option), you need to use the property name along with the jqxSlider's instance. 
window.onload = function() {
	var propertyValue = document.querySelector("jqx-slider").buttonsPosition;
}

Event binding can be defined in the HTML as an attribute. The syntax is: 'on-' and the event's name. Event Names with camelCase naming have dash-based attributes. The attribute's value is the event handler's name. The addEventListener function can also be used for event binding. 

<script>
	window.onload = function () {
		var element = document.querySelector("jqx-slider");
		element.addEventListener("change", function(event){
		// Your code here
		});
	}
</script>
