Usage

use-move handles move behavior over any element:

Values { x: 20, y: 60 }

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Group, Text, Code } from '@mantine/core';
import { useMove } from '@mantine/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState({ x: 0.2, y: 0.6 });
  const { ref, active } = useMove(setValue);

  return (
    <>
      <Group justify="center">
        <div
          ref={ref}
          style={{
            width: 400,
            height: 120,
            backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-light)',
            position: 'relative',
          }}
        >
          <div
            style={{
              position: 'absolute',
              left: `calc(${value.x * 100}% - 8px)`,
              top: `calc(${value.y * 100}% - 8px)`,
              width: 16,
              height: 16,
              backgroundColor: active ? 'var(--mantine-color-teal-7)' : 'var(--mantine-color-blue-7)',
            }}
          />
        </div>
      </Group>
      <Text ta="center" mt="sm">
        Values <Code>{`{ x: ${Math.round(value.x * 100)}, y: ${Math.round(value.y * 100)} }`}</Code>
      </Text>
    </>
  );
}

API

The hook accepts a callback that is called when user moves pressed mouse over the given element and returns an object with ref and active state:

import { useMove } from '@mantine/hooks';

const {
  ref, // -> pass ref to target element
  active, // -> is user changing something right now?
} = useMove(({ x, y }) => console.log({ x, y }));

x and y values are always between 0 and 1, you can use them to calculate value in your boundaries.

Horizontal slider

You can ignore changes for one of the axis:

Value: 20

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Group, Text } from '@mantine/core';
import { useMove } from '@mantine/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(0.2);
  const { ref } = useMove(({ x }) => setValue(x));

  return (
    <>
      <Group justify="center">
        <div
          ref={ref}
          style={{
            width: 400,
            height: 16,
            backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-light)',
            position: 'relative',
          }}
        >
          {/* Filled bar */}
          <div
            style={{
              width: `${value * 100}%`,
              height: 16,
              backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-filled)',
              opacity: 0.7,
            }}
          />

          {/* Thumb */}
          <div
            style={{
              position: 'absolute',
              left: `calc(${value * 100}% - 8px)`,
              top: 0,
              width: 16,
              height: 16,
              backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-7)',
            }}
          />
        </div>
      </Group>

      <Text ta="center" mt="sm">
        Value: {Math.round(value * 100)}
      </Text>
    </>
  );
}

Horizontal slider with styles

import { useState } from 'react';
import { IconGripVertical } from '@tabler/icons-react';
import { clamp, useMove } from '@mantine/hooks';
import classes from './Demo.module.css';

function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(0.3);
  const { ref } = useMove(({ x }) => setValue(clamp(x, 0.1, 0.9)));
  const labelFloating = value < 0.2 || value > 0.8;

  return (
    <div className={classes.root}>
      <div className={classes.track} ref={ref}>
        <div
          className={classes.filled}
          style={{
            width: `calc(${value * 100}% - var(--thumb-width) / 2 - var(--thumb-offset) / 2)`,
          }}
        >
          <span className={classes.label} data-floating={labelFloating || undefined} data-filled>
            {(value * 100).toFixed(0)}
          </span>
        </div>

        <div
          className={classes.empty}
          style={{
            width: `calc(${(1 - value) * 100}% - var(--thumb-width) / 2 - var(--thumb-offset) / 2)`,
          }}
        >
          <span className={classes.label} data-floating={labelFloating || undefined}>
            {((1 - value) * 100).toFixed(0)}
          </span>
        </div>

        <div
          className={classes.thumb}
          style={{ left: `calc(${value * 100}% - var(--thumb-width) / 2)` }}
        >
          <IconGripVertical stroke={1.5} />
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

Vertical slider

Moving the slider down increases the value, to reverse that set value to 1 - y in your setValue function:

Value: 20

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Group, Text } from '@mantine/core';
import { useMove } from '@mantine/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(0.2);
  const { ref } = useMove(({ y }) => setValue(1 - y));

  return (
    <>
      <Group justify="center">
        <div
          ref={ref}
          style={{
            width: 16,
            height: 120,
            backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-light)',
            position: 'relative',
          }}
        >
          {/* Filled bar */}
          <div
            style={{
              position: 'absolute',
              bottom: 0,
              height: `${value * 100}%`,
              width: 16,
              backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-filled)',
              opacity: 0.7,
            }}
          />

          {/* Thumb */}
          <div
            style={{
              position: 'absolute',
              bottom: `calc(${value * 100}% - 8px)`,
              left: 0,
              width: 16,
              height: 16,
              backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-7)',
            }}
          />
        </div>
      </Group>

      <Text ta="center" mt="sm">
        Value: {Math.round(value * 100)}
      </Text>
    </>
  );
}

import { useState } from 'react';
import { useMove } from '@mantine/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState({ x: 0.2, y: 0.6 });
  const { ref } = useMove(setValue);

  return (

clampUseMovePosition function can be used to clamp x and y values to 0-1 range. It is useful when you want to use external events to change the value, for example changing value with keyboard arrows:

import { clampUseMovePosition } from '@mantine/hooks';

clampUseMovePosition({ x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }); // -> { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }
clampUseMovePosition({ x: 1.5, y: 0.5 }); // -> { x: 1, y: 0.5 }
clampUseMovePosition({ x: -0.5, y: 0.5 }); // -> { x: 0, y: 0.5 }

UseMovePosition

@mantine/hooks exports UseMovePosition type, it can be used as a type parameter for useState:

import { useState } from 'react';
import { UseMovePosition } from '@mantine/hooks';

const [value, setValue] = useState<UseMovePosition>({
  x: 0.5,
  y: 0.5,
});

Definition

interface UseMovePosition {
  x: number;
  y: number;
}

interface UseMoveHandlers {
  onScrubStart?: () => void;
  onScrubEnd?: () => void;
}

interface UseMoveReturnValue<T extends HTMLElement = any> {
  ref: React.RefCallback<T | null>;
  active: boolean;
}

function useMove<T extends HTMLElement = any>(
  onChange: (value: UseMovePosition) => void,
  handlers?: UseMoveHandlers,
  dir?: "ltr" | "rtl",
): UseMoveReturnValue<T>

Exported types

UseMovePosition, UseMoveReturnValue and UseMoveHandlers types are exported from @mantine/hooks package, you can import them in your application:

import type { UseMovePosition, UseMoveHandlers, UseMoveReturnValue } from '@mantine/hooks';
