## Custom step marker and step numbers

It is possible to render default step numbers under your slider and to render custom step component and step marker.
<br/>This can be achieved by using:

### `renderStepNumber`

Turns on the displaying of numbers of steps.<br/>Numbers of steps are displayed under the track.
<br/>Two font sizes are available and they will be selected automatically depending on the overall number of steps.

### `StepMarker`

Your custom component rendered for every step on the Slider, both the thumb and the rest of steps along the Slider's whole length.
<br/>This `StepMarker` prop accepts your custom component and provides it with the following parameters:

<table>
<tr>
<td>

```typescript
  stepMarked: boolean;
```

</td>
<td>

Indicates whether that custom step is the one that the thum is currently on.
<br/>If user drags or clicks on that step, thumb will be moved there and the `stepMarked` parameter will be set to `true`.
<br/>Use it, to differentiate between rendering your custom thumb component, or your custom step marker.

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

```typescript
  currentValue: number;
```

</td>
<td>
Contains the `number` type saying at which value of the Slider the thumb currently is.
<br/>Use it, for example, to render the Slider value on every step marker, or to render different step marker's variant depending on the Thumb position.

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

```typescript
  index: number;
```

</td>
<td>

Contains the index at which this exact instantiation of your custom step marker was rendered at.
<br/>Use it if you would like to render step number within the step marker, or, for example, if you want to render many variants of step marker depending on their positions along the Slider's width.

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

```typescript
  min: number;
```

</td>
<td>

Minimum value of the Slider. It is equal to `minimumValue` and has the same default if not set.

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

```typescript
  max: number;
```

</td>
<td>

Maximum value of the Slider. It is equal to `maximumValue` and has the same default if not set.

</td>
</tr>
</table>

## Roadmap and Progress

There's a Project board available [here](https://github.com/callstack/react-native-slider/projects/1) which contains all reported issues organized into columns regarding their status.

If you are interested in knowing whether the issue you reported is handled or just to check the status of a feature you would like to have in Slider, please check the board.

## Contributing

The main package implementation is done in the `package/` directory.
So when implementing changes there, make sure your code passes ESLint and the tests. Run the following to verify:
```sh
cd package/
npm run lint
npm run test
```

* Remember to cover your changes with tests if possible.

When [creating an issue](https://github.com/callstack/react-native-slider/issues/new/choose) please remember to specify the platform which the issue occurs on.

## Running the example app
While developing, you can run the example app to test your changes.
