How to setup the submodule facet_range_widget:

• Clone the following libraries to /libraries directory:
  • https://github.com/furf/jquery-ui-touch-punch
  • https://github.com/simeydotme/jquery-ui-slider-pips
• Install dependencies modules:
  • composer require 'drupal/jquery_ui_slider:^1.1' (https://www.drupal.org/project/jquery_ui_slider)
  • composer require 'drupal/jquery_ui_touch_punch:^1.0' (https://www.drupal.org/project/jquery_ui_touch_punch)
• Change the following in /facets/modules/facets_range_widget.libraries.yml:
  • Find and replace core/jquery.ui.slider with jquery_ui_slider/slider
  • Find and replace core/jquery.ui.touch-punch with jquery_ui_touch_punch/touch-punch

TO DO:

• The widget isn't currently working with Ajax enabled view.

Working Demo: https://core.digital.utsc.utoronto.ca/advanced-search

Note:

Range Slider Widget is only work Integer field only, so, to apply for use cases:

• For Islandora content type, there are already ETDF fields, so in Solr config, in /admin/config/search/search-api/index/default_solr_index_islandora_lite/fields/ set the field's TYPE as Integer:

In the Processor tab:

• For other content types, enable Controlled Access Term module (https://github.com/Islandora/controlled_access_terms/), and create ETDF field for those content types and setup similar as above steps.

• Also enable Ajax for Range Slider widget with Advanced Search module by this commit: digitalutsc@2166fc9

Decided not to use the slider. Our current date approach is different; we are using a form, but the form still requires validation stuff done (for example, a user can enter a negative date)

Validation has been added for:

• Enter negative number
• Enter a "To" number more than "From" number
