'enforceStep' option is ignored

[euvs]

It seems that enforceStep option is ignored.

I want to display ticks from 0 to 24 with step 1, but be able to drag the slider to any value between 0 and 24 that is not rounded to the step.

I expected that if I set enforceStep to false, the slider handle can be positioned in between ticks/steps. However, no matter whether it is set to true or false, the handle position is always snapped to the ticks.

Is it intended usage of the enforceStep option? if not, is it possible to achieve the described above behaviour?

Thank you.

The enforceStep option will not enforce snapping to steps if it is set to
false and the value is changed* externally. *So if you set up your slider
and then alter the value to 1.234124 or something similar the value will
snap when it is true but not if it is false.

Just to clarify. When you are saying "externally" do you mean by dragging the slider with the mouse? or by setting the value in the code somewhere?

Setting the value in the code, it's expected that you would populate all of
the ticks you want users to be able to select by dragging. The use case for
enforceStep is something like you're setting the slider based on a loan
formula and it may return an amount of 123.12 where you normally only allow
amounts in increments of 50

Ok. I see. So it is not currently possible to set the slider in between ticks by dragging it with the mouse. Am I correct?

What I want to achieve is to display a slider with a timescale from 0:00 to 24:00 hours with ticks every hour, but be able to drag the slider in between the ticks so the users could select, for instance, 13h23min.

I think it would be nice to have at least two types of steps: "Ticks step" (for displaying on the UI) and "Slider step" (for restricting/rounding the slider value). Or have an option where the slider value is not rounded to thicks.

I think that there is a on-going PR that address your need: #264.

Great!. Thanks. It looks very promising.
