9 years ago It might make sense to represent that as a selectInput instead. But if you do want to go this route, while we're missing this feature in the client side where it would be best, you could probably simulate it with something like this in server.R (in this example, the name of the slider is "slider1":
observe({ snapTo <- c(0,7,31,91,183,365) value <- snapTo[match(1, order(abs(input$slider1 - snapTo)))] updateSliderInput(session, "slider1", value = value) })

I'd like to request a slider with a limited number of allowed values instead of a continuous scale of values.
In other words, it could be a radio button that is displayed as a slider.
Perhaps something like this:
sliderInput("window.size", "Window size (days)", allowed.values = c(7, 31, 91, 183, 365), value = 7)
One possible use-case for this feature is to restrict the user to select reasonable windows:
- 7 days (1 week)
- 31 days (1 month)
- 91 days (1 season)
- 183 days (half year)
- 365 days (1 year)
This prevents the user from selecting other window sizes that are difficult to interpret because they do not correspond to some regular time interval.
