## What it is
noUiSlider is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript range slider library written in TypeScript. It offers ARIA accessibility, keyboard and multi-touch support, GPU-accelerated animation, and non-linear ranges, fitting well into responsive designs.

## Use cases
- add a range slider to filter products by price
- build an accessible dual-handle slider with keyboard support
- create a touch-friendly slider for mobile web forms
- implement a non-linear range input with custom steps
- replace native range inputs with a stylable responsive slider
- add multi-handle sliders with min/max gap constraints

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight slider with no dependencies
- accessibility (ARIA, keyboard) is a requirement
- you need multi-touch and mobile-friendly behavior
- you need non-linear ranges or multiple handles

## When to avoid
- you need a full UI component framework rather than a single widget
- you need React/Vue-specific bindings out of the box
- you need advanced features like range bar charts or date pickers

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: frontend, web-development, accessibility
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: range-slider, touch-support, keyboard-accessible, gpu-animated, zero-dependencies, responsive-design, typescript
