This card adds a interactive horizontal slider to your dashboard. Slider card is useful when you require a integer input within a certain range. ( Example use case: LED brightness control )


Type:

SLIDER_CARD


Valid Data Types:

  • int

Initializer:

With slider card, Initializer requires min & max range.

/* 
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);

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.

Note: 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([&](int value){
Serial.println("[Card1] Slider Callback Triggered: "+String(value));
card1.update(value);
dashboard.sendUpdates();
});

Updaters:

card1.update(int value);

Or, update symbol along your value:

card1.update(244, "%");
