Polymer 1.x: Wrapping a jQuery range slider inside a Polymer element

I'm trying to wrap the ion.rangeSlider inside a Polymer element but I'm having trouble getting it working in a jsBin.

Please show me how to get this working in a jsBin.

    .range-slider {

  </div>
  <div class="extra-controls">
      Placeholder for some buttons to change slider behavior
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  (function(){
    Polymer({
      is: "x-element",
      properties: {
      }
    });
  })();
</script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function () {
    var $range = $(".js-range-slider");

    $range.ionRangeSlider({
        type: "double",
        min: 100,
        max: 1000,
        from: 300,
        to: 800
    });
  });
</script>

</dom-module>

<x-element></x-element>

</body>

Update: It partially works as shown here when I do the following.

  1. Move the second <script> tag outside the Polymer element template and into the main document body (light DOM).
  2. Add the jQuery library resource in the <head>.
  3. Remove the $(document).ready(function(){

But I still need to get it to work with the javascript inside the Polymer element template.

Solution

  • You were close with your partially working example, where you called the ionRangeSlider function in ready. However, you first need to call the jQuery function $() with the slider input as an argument.

      ready: function(){
    $(this.$.slider).ionRangeSlider({
      type: "double",
      min: 100,
      max: 1000,
      from: 300,
      to: 800
    });
  }
