Counter

The Counter controller allows users to use a form element utilized for incrementing and decrementing a number.

Demonstration

 
Handy::control( 'counter', [
    'id'          => 'counter_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Counter Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1,
    'options'     => [
        'min'  => 0,
        'max'  => 100,
        'step' => 1
    ]
]);

TIP

Here's an example using the default parameter. Note the default value must be greater than or equal to the min and less than or equal to the max.

 
Handy::control( 'counter', [
    'id'          => 'counter_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'default'     => 50,
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Counter Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1,
    'options'     => [
        'min'  => 0,
        'max'  => 100,
        'step' => 1
    ]
]);
