I have just an input tag with the following logic:
https://codepen.io/ion-ciorba/pen/MWVWpmR
I have a minimum value coming from the database(400 in this case), the logic is good but the user interaction with the component is really bad, the user can’t input a value that is below 400, I want something else that won’t block the user from typing, maybe some other type of interaction besides change and input. How can I make this interaction more user friendly, but still maintain the minimum value at 400.
Maybe a better solution for that:
if (numberInputValue == "" || parseInt(numberInputValue) < parseInt(min)) {
numberInputValue = min;
} else if (parseInt(numberInputValue) > parseInt(max)) {
numberInputValue = max;
}

I agree with @Twisty the jQuery UI Slider would be better suited
$(function() {
let slider = $(".tbi-slider")[0];
let loanAmount = $(".tbi-calc-loanAmount");
let totalLoanAmount = $(".tbi-calc-loanTotalAmount");
var min = $(".tbi-slider").attr("min");
var max = $(".tbi-slider").attr("max");
$("#co-tbi-loanAmount-input").change(function(s) {
var numberInputValue = s.target.value;
if (numberInputValue.match(/^[0-9]+$/) == null) {
$("#co-tbi-loanAmount-input").val(min);
}
slider.value = parseInt(numberInputValue);
if (parseInt(numberInputValue) < parseInt(min)) {
$("#co-tbi-loanAmount-input").val(min);
} else if (parseInt(numberInputValue) > parseInt(max)) {
$("#co-tbi-loanAmount-input").val(max);
}
if (
parseInt(numberInputValue) >= parseInt(min) &&
parseInt(numberInputValue) <= parseInt(max)
) {
$("#co-tbi-loanAmount-input").val(numberInputValue);
}
$("#tbi-range-slider").slider("value", $(this).val());
});
$("#tbi-range-slider").slider({
min: 400,
max: 1000,
orientation: "horizontal",
range: "min",
slide: function(event, ui) {
refreshSwatch(),
$("#co-tbi-loanAmount-input").val(ui.value);
},
});
});
function refreshSwatch() {
$("#tbi-range-slider").css("background-color", "#729fcf");
}body {
font-family: system-ui;
background: #f06d06;
color: white;
text-align: center;
}
#tbi-range-slider {
display: inline-block;
width: 300px;
margin: 15px;
background-image: none;
}
#tbi-range-slider .ui-slider-range {
background: #ef2929;
}<input id="co-tbi-loanAmount-input" class="tbi-calc-loanAmount co-tbi-input tbi-font-18" value="400"> <div class="tbi-slider" id="tbi-range-slider" min="400" max="1000" value="500"></div> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.13.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.13.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
