# react-resplit

Resizable split pane layouts for React applications 🖖

- Compound component API that works with any styling method
- Built with modern CSS, a grid-based layout and custom properties
- Works with any amount of panes in a vertical or horizontal layout
- Built following the [Window Splitter](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/windowsplitter/) pattern for accessibility and keyboard controls

_Example of a code editor built with `react-resplit`_

## Development

Run the development server:

```
yarn dev
```

The files for the development app can be found in `src`, and the library files in `lib`.

---

## Usage

Install the package using your package manager of choice.

```
npm install react-resplit
```

Import `Resplit` from `react-resplit` and render the Root, Pane(s) and Splitter(s).

```tsx
import { Resplit } from 'react-resplit';

function App() {
  return (
    <Resplit.Root direction="horizontal">
      <Resplit.Pane order={0} initialSize="0.5fr">
        Pane 1
      </Resplit.Pane>
      <Resplit.Splitter order={1} size="10px" />
      <Resplit.Pane order={2} initialSize="0.5fr">
        Pane 2
      </Resplit.Pane>
    </Resplit.Root>
  );
}
```

### Styling

The Root, Splitter and Pane elements are all unstyled by default apart from a few styles that are necessary for the layout - this is intentional so that the library remains flexible.

Resplit will apply the correct cursor based on the `direction` provided to the hook.

As a basic example, you could provide a `className` prop to the Splitter elements and style them as a solid 10px divider.

```tsx
<Resplit.Splitter className="splitter" order={0} size="10px" />
```

```css
.splitter {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background: #ccc;
}
```

### Accessibility

Resplit has been implemented using guidence from the [Window Splitter](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/windowsplitter/) pattern.

In addition to built-in accessibility considerations, you should also ensure that splitters are correctly labelled.

If the primary pane has a visible label, the `aria-labelledby` attribute can be used.

```tsx
<Resplit.Pane order={0}>
  <h2 id="pane-1-label">Pane 1</h2>
</Resplit.Pane>
<Resplit.Splitter order={1} aria-labelledby="pane-1-label" />
```

Alternatively, if the pane does not have a visible label, the `aria-label` attribute can be used on the Splitter instead.

```tsx
<Resplit.Splitter order={1} aria-label="Pane 1" />
```

## API

All of the resplit components extend the `React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>` interface, so you can pass any valid HTML attribute to them.

### Root `(ResplitRootProps)`

The root component of a resplit layout. Provides context to all child components.

| Prop        | Type                         | Default        | Description                           |

### useResplitContext `() => ResplitContextValue`

The `useResplitContext` hook provides access to the context of the nearest `Resplit.Root` component.

See the methods below for more information on what is available.

#### setPaneSizes `(paneSizes: FrValue[]) => void`

Get the collapsed state of a pane.

Specify the size of each pane as a fractional unit (fr). The number of values should match the number of panes.

```tsx
setPaneSizes(['0.6fr', '0.4fr']);
```

If your pane has an `onResize` callback, it will be called with the new size.

#### isPaneCollapsed `(order: number) => boolean`

Get the collapsed state of a pane.

**Note**: The returned value will not update on every render and should be used in a callback e.g. used in combination with a pane's `onResize` callback.

```tsx
import { Resplit, useResplitContext, ResplitPaneProps, FrValue } from 'react-resplit';

function CustomPane(props: ResplitPaneProps) {
  const { isPaneCollapsed } = useResplitContext();

const handleResize = (size: FrValue) => {
    if (isPaneCollapsed(props.order)) {
      // Do something
    }
  };

return (
    <Resplit.Pane
      {...props}
      initialSize="0.5fr"
      collapsedSize="0.2fr"
      collapsible
      onResize={handleResize}
    />
  );
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Resplit.Root>
      <CustomPane order={0} />
      <Resplit.Splitter order={1} />
      <CustomPane order={2} />
    </Resplit.Root>
  );
}
```

#### isPaneMinSize `(order: number) => boolean`

Get the min size state of a pane.

**Note**: The returned value will not update on every render and should be used in a callback e.g. used in combination with a pane's `onResize` callback.

```tsx
import { Resplit, useResplitContext, ResplitPaneProps, FrValue } from 'react-resplit';

function CustomPane(props: ResplitPaneProps) {
  const { isPaneMinSize } = useResplitContext();

const handleResize = (size: FrValue) => {
    if (isPaneMinSize(props.order)) {
      // Do something
    }
  };

return <Resplit.Pane {...props} initialSize="0.5fr" minSize="0.2fr" onResize={handleResize} />;
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Resplit.Root>
      <CustomPane order={0} />
      <Resplit.Splitter order={1} />
      <CustomPane order={2} />
    </Resplit.Root>
  );
}
```
