Splitter | Ark UI

Preview Component

Please note, the API of this component is currently in a preview phase and is subject to change.

Anatomy

To set up the splitter correctly, you’ll need to understand its anatomy and how we name its parts.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

Examples

Learn how to use the Splitter component in your project. Let’s take a look at the most basic example:

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/react'

const Basic = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    defaultSize={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
  >
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
)

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/solid'

const Basic = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    size={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
  >
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/vue'

const size = ref([
  { id: 'a', size: 50 },
  { id: 'b', size: 50 },
])
</script>

<template>
  <Splitter.Root :size="size">
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
</template>

Using Render Props

The Splitter component allows you to pass a function as a child to gain direct access to its API. This provides more control and allows you to modify the size of the panels programmatically:

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/react'

const RenderProp = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    defaultSize={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
  >
    {(api) => (
      <>
        <Splitter.Panel id="a">
          <button onClick={() => api.setSize('a', 10)}>Set to 10%</button>
        </Splitter.Panel>
        <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
        <Splitter.Panel id="b">
          <button onClick={() => api.setSize('b', 10)}>Set to 10%</button>
        </Splitter.Panel>
      </>
    )}
  </Splitter.Root>
)

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/solid'

const RenderProp = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    size={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
  >
    {(api) => (
      <>
        <Splitter.Panel id="a">
          <button onClick={() => api().setSize('a', 10)}>Set to 10%</button>
        </Splitter.Panel>
        <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
        <Splitter.Panel id="b">
          <button onClick={() => api().setSize('b', 10)}>Set to 10%</button>
        </Splitter.Panel>
      </>
    )}
  </Splitter.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/vue'

const size = ref([
  { id: 'a', size: 50 },
  { id: 'b', size: 50 },
])
</script>

<template>
  <Splitter.Root :size="size" v-slot="api">
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">
      <button @click="api.setSize('a', 10)">Set A to 10%</button>
    </Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">
      <button @click="api.setSize('b', 10)">Set B to 10%</button>
    </Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
</template>

Handling Events

Splitter also provides onSizeChangeStart and onSizeChangeEnd events which can be useful to perform some actions during the start and end of the resizing process:

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/react'

const Events = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    defaultSize={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
    onSizeChangeStart={(details) => console.log('onSizeChangeStart', details)}
    onSizeChangeEnd={(details) => console.log('onSizeChangeEnd', details)}
  >
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
)

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/solid'

const Events = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    size={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
    onSizeChangeStart={(details) => console.log('onSizeChangeStart', details)}
    onSizeChangeEnd={(details) => console.log('onSizeChangeEnd', details)}
  >
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/vue'

const size = ref([
  { id: 'a', size: 50 },
  { id: 'b', size: 50 },
])
</script>

<template>
  <Splitter.Root
    :size="size"
    @size-change-start="(details) => console.log('onSizeChangeStart', details)"
    @size-change-end="(details) => console.log('onSizeChangeEnd', details)"
  >
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
</template>

Vertical Splitter

By default, the Splitter component is horizontal. If you need a vertical splitter, use the orientation prop:

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/react'

const Vertical = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    orientation="vertical"
    defaultSize={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
  >
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
)

import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/solid'

const Vertical = () => (
  <Splitter.Root
    orientation="vertical"
    size={[
      { id: 'a', size: 50 },
      { id: 'b', size: 50 },
    ]}
  >
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { Splitter } from '@ark-ui/vue'

const size = ref([
  { id: 'a', size: 50 },
  { id: 'b', size: 50 },
])
</script>

<template>
  <Splitter.Root :size="size" orientation="vertical">
    <Splitter.Panel id="a">A</Splitter.Panel>
    <Splitter.ResizeTrigger id="a:b" />
    <Splitter.Panel id="b">B</Splitter.Panel>
  </Splitter.Root>
</template>
