Question 1

How do I add a range slider to my Flutter app?

Accepted Answer

Install the package via pubspec.yaml, import it with an alias like 'frs', and use frs.RangeSlider in your Dart code. The README provides an example to get started quickly.

Question 2

What's the difference between RangeSlider and Flutter's built-in RangeSlider?

Accepted Answer

This package was created before Flutter 1.7 and offers similar dual-thumb functionality, but it requires alias imports to avoid naming conflicts. It's customizable but may be redundant for new projects using Flutter's native widget.

You can customize colors through widget properties like track and thumb colors, as supported by the customizable appearance feature. Refer to the example code for implementation details.

Does RangeSlider support custom labels for the thumbs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports label customization to display values or other text, allowing developers to tailor the UI to their app's needs, as mentioned in the key features.

Question 5

How to handle value changes when using RangeSlider?

Accepted Answer

Use the RangeSliderCallback provided by the package to listen for changes in the selected range, similar to standard Flutter callbacks. This enables real-time updates for filters or settings.

Question 6

Is RangeSlider still maintained since Flutter has its own version?

Accepted Answer

The package might have reduced maintenance focus due to Flutter's native alternative, so check the GitHub repository for recent updates and community activity before relying on it long-term.
