Added in v5.2.0

Default

Quantity selector is a form element used to select a number.

Please note that this component is suitable for incremental and decremental display of small numbers, i.e. numbers with 3-4 digits. We do not recommend using it with larger numbers.

A default value can be specified with the input value attribute.

Value will vary between the values defined for the min and max attributes (negative value are allowed). min and max values are customizable.

step attribute is also customizable and define the interval between values.

Disabled

Add the disabled boolean attribute on quantity selector elements to give it a grayed out appearance and remove pointer events.
