Question 1

How to customize slider markers in react-native-multi-slider?

Accepted Answer

Use the markerStyle prop to define dimensions, colors, and borders, and pressedMarkerStyle for press effects. For example, markerStyle={{backgroundColor: 'blue'}} changes the marker color, as shown in the custom style table.

Question 2

Can react-native-multi-slider handle non-numeric values like strings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the optionsArray prop, which accepts an array of any value type, and the slider returns these in callbacks. This allows mapping sliders to custom data sets, mentioned in the basic setup properties.

Question 3

How to implement a vertical slider with react-native-multi-slider?

Accepted Answer

Set the sliderOrientation prop to 'vertical', but note the README marks it as TODO, so functionality might be experimental and require additional testing or community input.

Question 4

react-native-multi-slider vs react-native-slider: which is better?

Accepted Answer

react-native-multi-slider offers dual-marker support and more customization, while react-native-slider is simpler and part of core community libraries. Choose based on need for range sliders versus basic single sliders with less setup.

Question 5

How do I add touch feedback to the sliders?

Accepted Answer

Use the pressedMarkerStyle prop to style markers when pressed, and adjust touchDimensions for responsiveness. Combine with onValuesChangeStart and onValuesChangeFinish callbacks for interactive effects, as per the event callbacks section.

Question 6

Is react-native-multi-slider compatible with Expo projects?

Accepted Answer

Since it's pure JavaScript, it should work with Expo, but verify compatibility with your React Native version, especially if using older RN <=0.18, as noted in the README warning.
