How to make a slider in HTML + CSS

Have you ever wanted to create a slider in HTML + CSS? Well, you're in the right place! This is how to create a slider!

1. Switch Label

Rectangular Switch:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    // Define Label
    <label class="switch">
        <input type="checkbox">
        <span class="slider"></span>
    </label>
</body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Round Switch:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    // Define Label
    <label class="switch">
        <input type="checkbox">
        <span class="slider round"></span>
    </label>
</body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Add CSS

CSS:

.switch {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 60px;
  height: 34px;
}

.switch input { 
  opacity: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
}

.slider {
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background-color: #ccc;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

.slider:before {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  height: 26px;
  width: 26px;
  left: 4px;
  bottom: 4px;
  background-color: white;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

input:checked + .slider {
  background-color: #2196F3;
}

input:focus + .slider {
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3;
}

input:checked + .slider:before {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(26px);
  -ms-transform: translateX(26px);
  transform: translateX(26px);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Add this if it is a round slider:

.slider.round {
  border-radius: 34px;
}

.slider.round:before {
  border-radius: 50%;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And this is the result:
