Define array of values to be used as steps.

[diegoponciano]

Sometimes I want to use a range with a non-linear list of steps.
Say I have a range from 0 to 60, and instead of equally sized steps, I want to step 5 by 5 until 30, and then 10 by 10 until 60.
I could manually define an array with these values: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50].
There is a fork of an old version that does this, with a rz-slider-step-array option: https://github.com/hrishi1183/angular-slider-custom-rzslider-

The fun fact is that I was actually thinking about this something like 5 hours ago :D
We can even imagine that the steps array could contain strings as step value: ['A', 'B', 'C']...
This could be added to the list of options once the refactoring of this library is merged into master (see ReadMe).

Nice!
I just subscribed to the refactoring pull-request, will be following how things go.

[ValentinH]

OK, what's your opinion on it?

[diegoponciano]

I agree it should be added to the list of options, after the refactoring.
About the implementation, I think there should be a separate option (maybe just step-array), where we would define a list of strings.
The fork I linked to uses a ng-repeat to show the ticks, but I don't know how that compare with the updateTicksScale approach.

Actually, I was refering to your opinion abour the PR. ^^ I already have ideas for the implementation of step-array.

[ValentinH]

I have started to implement it, it's pretty easy with the new version. Do you think it should be possible to give a custom translate function when providing a steps-array? As far as I think, I don't see a valid use case for it. In my current implementation, the internal translate function just returns the correct step from the array.

Will be in 2.0.0 release.

Sorry for the delay.
I agree with you, it doesn't seem necessary to have a custom translate, I think steps-array will already provide enough flexibility.
