Bootstrap slider set value issue

Question

I use bootstrap slider and looking for a way to set a value of the handle from the input type="text" I managed to set value for input from the handler, how do do it in opposite way?

$("#ex6").slider();
$("#ex6").on("slide", function(slideEvt) {
    $("#ex6SliderVal1").val(slideEvt.value[0]);
    $("#ex6SliderVal2").val(slideEvt.value[1]);
});

Here is my fiddle

Please advise, thanks

Use below's code to change handler value based on input text :

var minSliderValue = $("#ex1").data("slider-min");
var maxSliderValue = $("#ex1").data("slider-max");

$('#ex1').slider({
    value : 0,
	formatter: function(value) {
		return 'Current value: ' + value;
	}
});

$("#inputValue").on("keyup", function() {
    var val = Math.abs(parseInt(this.value, 10) || minSliderValue);
    this.value = val > maxSliderValue ? maxSliderValue : val;
    $('#ex1').slider('setValue', val);
});

.wrapper {
    padding : 20px;
    margin-top : 20px;
}

<div class="wrapper">
<input id="ex1" data-slider-id='ex1Slider' type="text" data-slider-min="0" data-slider-max="20" data-slider-step="1" />
    <hr />
    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputValue" value="0" />
</div>

Here is my jsFiddle for full implementation on changing value vice versa.
