textual-slider

A Textual widget for a simple slider.

Installation

Install textual-slider using pip:

pip install textual-slider

Usage

textual-slider provides a simple Slider widget for use in Textual, that allows selecting an integer value within a given range.

The initial value of the slider if not specified is the minimum value. You can also optionally specify a step size between valid values.

yield Slider(0, 10)

yield Slider(min=200, max=500, step=100, value=300)

You can find more complete usage examples of the Slider widget in the /examples/ directory of this repo.

Limitations

Textual apps run in the terminal, which work in terms of character cells rather than pixels. This means you obviously can't have the same fine-grained control for this slider as usual, depending on the size of the slider range and the styled width.

Currently this slider widget only works with integer values. Any suggestions for how to work with floating point values would be welcome!

Contributing

I created this simple slider widget as a learning exercise to better understand Textual and it is still a work in progress.

I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions, but I'm afraid I probably won't be accepting any PRs at the moment.
