range and RangeData in Range.jl

[hhaensel]

Some comments on Range.jl

• The function name range() collides with Base.range(). Why not renaming it to rangeslider() (similar to plotly)?
• You may want to rename the module to Slider.jl
• Why do you use UnitRange for RangeData? Are you aware that stop is modified by the colon operator to have a spacing of 1?

julia> ur = UnitRange(2.3, 3.7)
2.3:3.3
julia> ur.stop
3.3

I currently don't see where you need it, but the respective functions using RangeData should probably be modified to look like

function Stipple.render(rd::AbstractRange{T}, fieldname::Union{Symbol,Nothing} = nothing) where {T,R}
  Dict(:min => first(rd), :max => last(rd), :step => step(rd))
end

function Base.parse(::Type{AbstractRange{T}}, d::Dict) where T <: Real
  st = get(d, "step", 1)
  d["min"]:step:d["max"]
end

@hhaensel Sorry, somehow this slipped through.

I'd rather be more tempted to specialize Base.range with our own method.

I can't remember exactly why I went with the custom UnitRange, but there was an issue with using Julia's ranges.

The changes in render and parse would not be needed as the step is not outputted in the Vue model, only in the HTML:

I think this is solved, right?
