Bootstrap: Add Slider and toggle components

[natcohen]

I was wondering since bootstrap has been built with "mobile first" in mind, why there is no slider and toggle (which are key components in the mobile world)!

Shouldn't be new features to add to the new v4?

[HarelM]

Should be one of the top priorities, it's so basic.

+1 its an essential component for a lot of websites. Also if this could be pushed for v4.0 release as it is still in alpha.

Angular Material too has these components. Its a basic need in mobile.

[HarelM]

I migrated to material for several reasons: slider, RTL and pagination support out of the box, I don't understand how this is not implemented already in bootstrap, especially the RTL - this is a requirement as old as bootstrap...

[shyamal890]

@HarelM The only problem I have with material is that it is too style heavy. I guess we would need more designers to make sure that custom elements gel well with material elements.

[natcohen]

@HarelM Don't forget that nobody at bootstrap is paid for this project (AFAIK) while material is backed by Google... so yeah, it's a must have but be patient!

[HarelM]

True, I can't argue about it, although I don't think it's a matter of payment but priorities - bootstrap 4 has a lot of code changes but still doesn't have RTL and slider - which means it's not highly prioritized, it's not like this project doesn't have contributors and maintainers...

@HarelM take a look at these, feedback is appreciated
toggle switch: #23004
range slider: #23380

Totally agree, I clearly miss sliders and toggle components.
If I had the skills, I would do it !

[natcohen]

@mdo Any chance this can be implemented in the next release?

[sts-ryan-holton]

I agree with @natcohen, if it's ready it should probably be merged as it looks like 4.2 is a combination of 4.2 and 4.3 as that project board was closed and since there isn't any other boards open right now I'm guessing 4.2 may be the final release, or one of that last releases before work begins on v5?

[gijsbotje]

slider has allready been added, the switch is still in progress i guess. although i couldn't find it on any project board

[guledali]

Exactly slider has already being added. The toggle-switch, seems that they are reviewing it.
Man I really hope it becomes part of this release.

[ionesculiviucristian]

A must have. The fewer bootstrap external "extensions" the better.

[mdo]

Custom switch was added for v4.2 (launching soon), and the custom range was added in v4.1. Closing out!
