Angular Material - Customize md-slider draghead text

Question

I have a slider in my Angular Material app, which has values that range from 0.0 to 1.0, with increments of 0.1. These are the values that I need in my model, but from the UI, I want the slider to display range 0 to 10 with increments of 1, or maybe a percentage value if that's possible. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

Custom display texts are not yet natively supported by Angular Material Design. Such a feature was proposed back in 2014, but unfortunately no one implemented it and the proposal was finally closed in April this year.

As any further feature development efforts are moved towards material 2, I currently see no chances for such a feature to be implemented.
