Alpaca slider not working

Question

I am trying to run alpaca slider but I am not able to use it in my project with property slider= true any idea how can I make it work using alpaca only. Is any specific version of alpaca needed for this to work?

I am using following code:

$(function() {
    $("#field2").alpaca({
        "data": 18,
        "options": {
            "type": "integer",
            "label": "Snow Days:",
            "helper": "Number of Snow Days in January 2011",
            "slider": true
        },
        "schema": {
            "minimum": 1,
            "maximum": 31
        }
    });
});

welcome to Stackoverflow.

There are two solution for this, your code is correct but to show the slider for your component you should add jquery-ui to your page. The second solution is to add the property inputType in the options object.

/..
"options": {
  "id": "test",
  "type": "integer",
  "label": "Snow Days:",
  "helper": "Number of Snow Days in January 2011",
  "inputType": "range", 
},
/..
