    return value;
  }

Methods

Methods are called on asRange instances through the asRange method itself. You can also save the instances to variable for further use.

// call directly
$().asRange('destroy');

// or
var api = $().data('asRange');
api.destroy();

val(value)

Set the range if value is defined or get the value.

// set the val
$().asRange('val', '5');

// get the val
var value = $().asRange('val');

set(value)

Set the range value.

$().asRange('set', '5');

get()

Get the range value.

var value = $().asRange('get');

enable()

Enable the range functions.

$().asRange('enable');

disable()

Disable the range functions.

$().asRange('disable');

destroy()

Destroy the range instance.

$().asRange('destroy');

Events

jquery-asRange provides custom events for the plugin’s unique actions.

$('.the-element').on('asRange::ready', function (e) {
  // on instance ready
});

Event	Description
init	Fires when the instance is setup for the first time.
ready	Fires when the instance is ready for API use.
enable	Fires immediately when the enable instance method has been called.
disable	Fires immediately when the disable instance method has been called.
change	Fires when the position of pointer is changed.
end	Fires when mouse up.
destroy	Fires when an instance is destroyed.

No conflict

If you have to use other plugin with the same namespace, just call the $.asRange.noConflict method to revert to it.

<script src="other-plugin.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-asRange.js"></script>
<script>
  $.asRange.noConflict();
  // Code that uses other plugin's "$().asRange" can follow here.
</script>
