Slider Card

An interactive horizontal slider component for selecting numeric values within a defined range. Ideal for controlling incremental values like brightness levels or other adjustable numeric parameters on the dashboard.

Initializer

With slider card, Initializer requires min & max range. Additionally you can also supply step as a seventh argument to set the step size of the slider.

/* 
  Slider Card
  Valid Arguments: (ESPDash dashboard, Card Type, const char* name, const char* symbol (optional), int min, int max)
*/
Card card1(&dashboard, SLIDER_CARD, "Test Slider", "", 0, 255, 1);

Callback

Slider Card requires a callback function which will be called when we receive a input from our dashboard. We will be calling our attachCallback function and provide a lambda function with a int argument.

💡

You need to call the update function and sendUpdates immediately once you receive the value in callback. Otherwise user input will not be registered on dashboard.

/*
  We provide our attachCallback with a lambda function to handle incomming data
  `value` is the boolean sent from your dashboard
*/
card1.attachCallback([&](float value){
  Serial.println("[Card1] Slider Callback Triggered: "+String(value));
  card1.update(value);
  dashboard.sendUpdates();
});

Updater

card1.update(int value);

card1.update(float value);

Or, update symbol along your value:

card1.update(244, "%");
