Ion Range Slider with HH:mm format From & To not working

Question

I am trying to use Ion Range Slider in my project to select working hours. Ex: (08:00-19:00).

 $('#ion').ionRangeSlider({
    grid: false,
    type: 'double',
    min: moment("0000", "hhmm"),
    max: moment("2359", "hhmm"),
    from: moment("0800", "hhmm"),
    to: moment("1900", "hhmm"),
    force_edges: true,
    drag_interval: true,
    step: 3600000,
    min_interval: 3600000,
    prettify: function (num) {
        return moment(num).format('HH:mm');
    }
});

When i want to set default working hours using from & to, it doesn't work. Slider works, though, but values are not changing.

What am i missing?

Answer 1

Because you are using hours in milliseconds you need to change the value of moment you are using from an object to its milliseconds value:

min: moment("0000", "hhmm"),   // this is an object and not a number...
max: moment("2359", "hhmm"),
from: moment("0800", "hhmm"),
to: moment("1900", "hhmm"),

Change to (see docs for details):

min: moment("0000", "hhmm").valueOf(),
max: moment("2359", "hhmm").valueOf(),
from: moment("0800", "hhmm").valueOf(),
to: moment("1900", "hhmm").valueOf(),

$('#ion').ionRangeSlider({
    grid: false,
    type: 'double',
    min: moment("0000", "hhmm").valueOf(),
    max: moment("2359", "hhmm").valueOf(),
    from: moment("0800", "hhmm").valueOf(),
    to: moment("1900", "hhmm").valueOf(),
    force_edges: true,
    drag_interval: true,
    step: 3600000,
    min_interval: 3600000,
    prettify: function (num) {
        return moment(num).format('HH:mm');
    }
});
