Angular Slider - Setup
Smart UI for Angular supports both standalone components (bootstrapApplication) and NgModule-based apps (bootstrapModule(AppModule)). Steps 1-5 show the standalone path; the section below shows the NgModule path with the same package and styles.
Demo source (Smart UI repo): angular/src/slider/basic
1 NPM Install
Install the smart-webcomponents-angular package:
npm install smart-webcomponents-angular
2 Register styles
Add the default Smart UI stylesheet to angular.json -> projects -> <your-project> -> architect -> build -> options -> styles (merge with existing entries):
"styles": [ "node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css" ]
Add optional theme CSS from the same package after smart.default.css if you use Bootstrap, Fluent, or other bundled themes.
3 Import the Angular module
Import SliderModule from smart-webcomponents-angular/slider: use @Component.imports for standalone, or add it to your AppModule (or feature module) imports array for NgModule apps.
import { SliderModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/slider';
4 Root component (standalone)
Add SliderModule to your root standalone component (src/app/app.ts). Snippet from Smart UI demos (paths normalized to app.html / App where applicable):
import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, AfterViewInit, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { SliderComponent } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/slider';
import { SliderModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/slider';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
standalone: true,
imports: [ SliderModule ],
templateUrl: './app.html',
styleUrl: './app.css'
})
export class App implements AfterViewInit, OnInit {
@ViewChild('slider', { read: SliderComponent, static: false }) slider!: SliderComponent;
@ViewChild('slider2', { read: SliderComponent, static: false }) slider2!: SliderComponent;
@ViewChild('slider3', { read: SliderComponent, static: false }) slider3!: SliderComponent;
@ViewChild('slider4', { read: SliderComponent, static: false }) slider4!: SliderComponent;
@ViewChild('horizontalSliderValue', { read: ElementRef, static: false }) horizontalSliderValue!: ElementRef;
@ViewChild('verticalSliderValue', { read: ElementRef, static: false }) verticalSliderValue!: ElementRef;
@ViewChild('invertedHorizontalSliderValue', { read: ElementRef, static: false }) invertedHorizontalSliderValue!: ElementRef;
@ViewChild('invertedVerticalSliderValue', { read: ElementRef, static: false }) invertedVerticalSliderValue!: ElementRef;
ngOnInit(): void {
// onInit code.
}
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
// afterViewInit code.
this.init();
}
init(): void {
// init code.
const that = this,
sliders = [that.slider, that.slider2, that.slider3, that.slider4];
for (let i = 0; i < sliders.length; i++) {
const slider = sliders[i];
slider.addEventListener('change', function (event: CustomEvent) {
const value = event.detail.value;
//@ts-ignore
that[slider.nativeElement.id + 'Value'].nativeElement.innerHTML = parseFloat('' + value).toFixed(2);
} as EventListener);
}
}
}
Boot the app with bootstrapApplication from src/main.ts and an ApplicationConfig in src/app/app.config.ts as generated by the CLI.
5 Template (standalone)
Use your markup in src/app/app.html (or inline template). Bind properties and events on smart-slider as needed:
<div class="container">
<div class="underlined">Horizontal slider</div>Value: <span id="horizontalSlider[value]" #horizontalSliderValue>30.00</span>
<smart-slider #slider id="horizontalSlider" [showTooltip]="true" [orientation]="'horizontal'" [min]="0"
[max]="100" [value]="30" [scalePosition]="'none'"></smart-slider>
<br />
<div class="underlined">Vertical slider</div>Value: <span id="verticalSlider[value]" #verticalSliderValue>30.00</span>
<smart-slider #slider2 id="verticalSlider" [showTooltip]="true" [tooltipPosition]="'far'" [orientation]="'vertical'"
[min]="0" [max]="100" [value]="30" [scalePosition]="'none'"></smart-slider>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="underlined">Inverted horizontal slider</div>Value: <span id="invertedHorizontalSlider[value]" #invertedHorizontalSliderValue>30.00</span>
<smart-slider #slider3 id="invertedHorizontalSlider" [showTooltip]="true" [orientation]="'horizontal'"
[inverted]="true" [min]="0" [max]="100" [value]="30" [scalePosition]="'none'"></smart-slider>
<br />
<div class="underlined">Inverted vertical slider</div>Value: <span id="invertedVerticalSlider[value]" #invertedVerticalSliderValue>30.00</span>
<smart-slider #slider4 id="invertedVerticalSlider" [showTooltip]="true" [tooltipPosition]="'far'"
[orientation]="'vertical'" [inverted]="true" [min]="0" [max]="100" [value]="30" [scalePosition]="'none'"></smart-slider>
</div>
6 NgModule bootstrap (also supported)
Same npm package and angular.json styles as steps 1-2. Put SliderModule on your NgModule.imports instead of @Component.imports, and bootstrap with bootstrapModule(AppModule).
The demo sources bundled for this widget use standalone only (there is no app.module.ts in that folder). NgModule is fully supported: put SliderModule from smart-webcomponents-angular/slider on NgModule.imports, make your root component non-standalone (remove standalone: true and move widget modules from @Component.imports to the module), and bootstrap with platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).
Minimal main.ts + app.module.ts pairing (adjust paths to match your CLI layout):
src/main.ts
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).catch((err) => console.error(err));
src/app/app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { SliderModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/slider';
@NgModule({
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
imports: [ BrowserModule, SliderModule ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
Reuse the template and class logic from steps 4-5 in AppComponent, configured for declarations + NgModule.imports instead of a standalone @Component.
Run
ng serve or npm start - then open http://localhost:4200/.
Smart UI for Angular - full documentation
Accessibility
The Slider component follows WAI-ARIA best practices:
- Keyboard navigation - Tab, Arrow keys, Enter, and Escape are supported
- ARIA roles - Appropriate roles and labels are applied automatically
- Focus management - Visible focus indicators for keyboard users
- Screen readers - State changes are announced to assistive technology
- High contrast - Supports Windows High Contrast Mode and forced colors
For custom labeling, set aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes on the component.
Supported stacks: Smart UI targets Angular 17+, React 18+, Vue 3+, Node 18 LTS, and evergreen browsers; pin exact package versions to your org policy.
