Slider Control

Elementor Core Basic

Elementor slider control displays a draggable range slider. The slider control can optionally have a number of unit types (size_units) for the user to choose from. The control also accepts a range argument that allows you to set the min, max and step values per unit type.

The control is defined in Control_Slider class which extends Control_Base_Units class.

When using this control, the type should be set to \Elementor\Controls_Manager::SLIDER constant.
