streamlit-vertical-slider

What it is and what it does

streamlit-vertical-slider is a Streamlit component that renders a vertical slider input widget, extending Streamlit's native horizontal slider. It depends only on streamlit and provides a continuous range input with optional label, customizable height, thumb shape (circle, square, pill), track and slider colors (including gradient support), and visibility controls. The widget integrates with Streamlit's session state via a key parameter and supports dark mode.

It is designed for Streamlit dashboards and data apps where a vertical orientation is preferred for space or UX reasons. Recent versions (2.5) reduced widget width by refactoring labels into tooltips and aligned sizing with Streamlit's native slider. The package has been dormant since late 2023 but carries no known security vulnerabilities and supports Python 3.8 and later.

Use it for:

• Add a vertical slider to a Streamlit dashboard layout where horizontal space is constrained or vertical orientation improves UX.
• Create a styled slider with custom colors or gradients to match a dashboard's visual design beyond Streamlit's defaults.
• Build a data exploration app with multiple sliders arranged vertically to control filtering or parameter ranges.
• Use the gradient color option to represent a continuous scale (e.g., temperature, intensity) with visual feedback.

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Adds a vertical slider widget to Streamlit apps with customizable colors, shapes, and height, complementing Streamlit's native horizontal slider.

Yes, if you need a vertical slider in a Streamlit app and can accept dormant maintenance. The package is lightweight, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with low friction. However, verify the undeclared license before use in proprietary contexts, and check compatibility with your Streamlit version since the last release was 2023-12-22. Not recommended if you require active maintenance or ongoing feature development.

License in practice

License status is unclear; the package metadata does not declare an SPDX identifier or raw license text. Verify the license before using in proprietary or copyleft-sensitive contexts.

Quickstart

pip install streamlit-vertical-slider

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_vertical_slider import vertical_slider

vertical_slider(
    label="Your widget label",
    key="vert_01",
    min_value=0,
    max_value=10,
    default_value=5
)

Requires streamlit to be installed and running; the widget is intended for use within a Streamlit application context.

Verify before relying

• Whether the package is actively maintained or if dormancy signals end-of-life; last commit was 2024-05-21 but no releases since 2023-12-22.
• Compatibility with recent Streamlit versions and whether Material-UI v5 upgrade (mentioned in v2.0) remains current.
• License details—raw license text or SPDX identifier not provided in package metadata.
