react-split-panel v2.0.1

React SplitPanel

A resizeable weight-based split panel component.

New in Version 2.x

• Completely new, robust CSS (and now with nicer kebab-style-class-names).
• Any number of children are now supported.
• Automatically resizes all subpanels correctly when the panel is resized.
• Now tested in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE11.
• Support for the weights, onWeightChange, defaultWeights and stepSize props (see below).

Usage

JSX

Basic example (note more props are supported, see below):

<SplitPanel direction="horizontal" defaultWeights={[70, 30]}>
    <div>
        <p>First component here</p>
    </div>
    <div>
        <p>Second component here</p>
    </div>
</SplitPanel>

If you want to maintain the weight sizes separately (i.e., in a Redux store) use the weights and onWeightChange props instead of defaultWeights. This behaves similarly to the value, onChange and defaultValue props on input elements.

Props

direction

Either "horizontal" (the default) or "vertical". The direction to layout subpanels.

weights

The relative sizes (weights) given to each subpanel.

onWeightChange

Called when an attempt is made to change the weights (e.g., the user dragging a divider). If using weights you must handle this otherwise the user will be unable to resize the panels.

defaultWeights

Use if you don't want to manually keep track of the weights. The user will be able to resize subpanels. N.B. weights and defaultWeights are mutually exclusive, you should only use one.

stepSize

Force the subpanels to resize in increments of this value. For example, if you have two subpanels, each displaying monospaced text, you may want to set this to the width of a single character so that resizing always aligns with the text columns.

minPanelSize

The minimum size of a subpanel.

Styling

Look at dist/splitPanel.less, there are a couple of variables but it's short so do whatever you want.

N.B. The styles have changed dramatically from version 1.x.

Also note that you should ensure the panel is given a suitable size by either manually setting a width/height in your CSS or using some other mechanism. E.g., you may put the panel in a flex box. The main thing to remember is that while normal block elements will have a predefined size based on their content the split panel does not; it will simply fill the space given to it by your CSS.
