Map Application Timeline Usage As Widget

Hello,

I am displaying data in a Slate application embedded in a Workshop application. I have been making my own timeline slider bars in javascript to scroll/pick times because I need more customizability then the slider widget offers. I recently discovered the timeline feature in the Map/Vertex application. This feature has the exact capability I need, but I don’t need the rest of the Map application. This feature seems to be widget-esque and I was wondering if this could be isolated from the Map app as a widget and used in workshop or slate? For my specific use case I just need the time endpoints and the selected time to be able to outputted to the figures I am generating.

Thanks,

Jordan

Thank you for your feedback, I have +1 our internal issue tracking adding a date slider widget to Workshop.

In the meantime, as a workaround Workshop allows creating custom widgets:

or you might be able to create a custom component in Slate using html and JS using the sandbox feature

I don’t know if there is a way to emphasize the priority here, but my team would greatly benefit from being able to use the map application slider as a widget that is accessible/configurable from workshop (without using the map application).

We are currently going the custom widget route but would love to just be able to utilize the design/functionality that the map application timeline slider provides!

Best,
