calcite-slider > layout vertical and horizontal

[SaschaBrunnerCH]

Description

It should be possible to use the slider vertical. Like it is possible with the ArcGIS JS API Slider: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-widgets-Slider.html#layout

Blocked issues: https://github.com/Esri/calcite-design-system/issues/5827

Acceptance Criteria

Possible to configure the layout:

• horizontal
• horizontal-reversed
• vertical
• vertical-reversed

Relevant Info

See: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-widgets-Slider.html#layout

Which Component

calcite-slider

Example Use Case

For a sample app we would like to include a slider to select the floor. For that purpose it should be vertical:

Example with the horizontal slider:

Esri team

ArcGIS API for JavaScript

This feature is required for: #46032 Range Slider

The JSAPI Range Slider will be used by MapViewer to assign values to multi-dimensional rasters.

@driskull as we discussed yesterday this is a high priority issue for us! MV needs Range Slider for multidimensional image services and the API implementation cannot proceed until the calcite slider has support for this.

Start work in April (relate to https://github.com/Esri/calcite-components/issues/5827)

Hey folks, see the below for a proposed vertical layout Slider. In addition to layout=vertical, this outlines direction-reversed and labels-reversed. I haven't included range and histogram here, but they'd follow the same logic. Figma file available for more details.

Priority has shifted to a medium status, with Maps SDK shifting priority to #6590 and #6591.

Current Figma design file. This should hopefully just need a review and revision of any final details.

[ashetland]

See this Figma file for designs for vertical Slider. Designs account for a new layout="horizontal | vertical" prop (horizontal would be the default), what it looks like when mirrored is set, as well as a new flip-labels prop.

flip-labels may not be needed, but it seemed appropriate to document since the placement of a vertical slider might necessitate an option for placing labels on the opposite side of the slider. Also documented is what that would look like in horizontal.

Just chiming in - heard a user request for a vertical slider in calcite at the European DevSummit this year.
