    Description copied from corresponding location in WebComponent:

    <vaadin-split-layout> is a Web Component implementing a split layout for two content elements with a draggable splitter between them.

    <vaadin-split-layout> <div>First content element</div> <div>Second content element</div> </vaadin-split-layout>

    Horizontal and Vertical Layouts

    By default, the split's orientation is horizontal, meaning that the content elements are positioned side by side in a flex container with a horizontal layout.

    You can change the split mode to vertical by setting the orientation attribute to &quot;vertical&quot;:

    <vaadin-split-layout orientation="vertical"> <div>Content on the top</div> <div>Content on the bottom</div> </vaadin-split-layout>

    Layouts Combination

    For the layout contents, we usually use <div> elements in the examples, although you can use any other elements as well.

    For instance, in order to have a nested vertical split layout inside a horizontal one, you can include <vaadin-split-layout> as a content element inside another split layout:

    <vaadin-split-layout> <div>First content element</div> <vaadin-split-layout orientation="vertical"> <div>Second content element</div> <div>Third content element</div> </vaadin-split-layout> </vaadin-split-layout>

    You can also trigger the vertical mode in JavaScript by setting the property: splitLayout.orientation = &quot;vertical&quot;;.

    Split Layout Element Height

    <vaadin-split-layout> element itself is a flex container. It does not inherit the parent height by default, but rather sets its height depending on the content.

    You can use CSS to set the fixed height for the split layout, as usual with any block element:

    <vaadin-split-layout style="height: 200px;"> <div>First content element</div> <div>Second content element</div> </vaadin-split-layout>

    It is possible to define percentage height as well. Note that you have to set the parent height in order to make percentages work correctly. In the following example, the <body> is resized to fill the entire viewport, and the <vaadin-split-layout> element is set to take 100% height of the <body>:

    <body style="height: 100vh; margin: 0;"> <vaadin-split-layout style="height: 100%;"> <div>First</div> <div>Second</div> </vaadin-split-layout> </body>

    Alternatively, you can use a flexbox layout to make <vaadin-split-layout> fill up the parent:

    <body style="height: 100vh; margin: 0; display: flex;"> <vaadin-split-layout style="flex: 1;"> <div>First</div> <div>Second</div> </vaadin-split-layout> </body>

    Initial Splitter Position

    The initial splitter position is determined from the sizes of the content elements inside the split layout. Therefore, changing width on the content elements affects the initial splitter position for the horizontal layouts, while height affects the vertical ones.

    Note that when the total size of the content elements does not fit the layout, the content elements are scaled proportionally.

    When setting initial sizes with relative units, such as percentages, it is recommended to assign the size for both content elements:

    <vaadin-split-layout> <div style="width: 75%;">Three fourths</div> <div style="width: 25%;">One fourth</div> </vaadin-split-layout>

    Size Limits

    The min-width/min-height, and max-width/ max-height CSS size values for the content elements are respected and used to limit the splitter position when it is dragged.

    It is preferred to set the limits only for a single content element, in order to avoid size conflicts:

    <vaadin-split-layout> <div style="min-width: 50px; max-width: 150px;">First</div> <div>Second</div> </vaadin-split-layout>

    Resize Notification

    This element implements IronResizableBehavior to notify the nested resizables when the splitter is dragged. In order to define a resizable and receive that notification in a nested element, include IronResizableBehavior and listen for the iron-resize event.
