Important Note #
Split.js does not set CSS beyond the minimum needed to manage the width or height of the elements.
This is by design. It makes Split.js flexible and useful in many different situations.
If you create a horizontal split, you are responsible for (likely) floating the elements and the gutter,
and setting their heights. See the CSS section below. If your gutters are not showing up, check the applied CSS styles.
THIS IS THE #1 QUESTION ABOUT THE LIBRARY.
Options #
sizes
An array of initial sizes of the elements, specified as percentage values. Example: Setting the initial sizes to 25% and 75%.
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
sizes: [25, 75],
})
copied to clipboard
minSize. Default: 100
An array of minimum sizes of the elements, specified as pixel values. Example: Setting the minimum sizes to 100px and 300px, respectively.
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
minSize: [100, 300],
})
copied to clipboard
If a number is passed instead of an array, all elements are set to the same minimum size:
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
minSize: 100,
})
copied to clipboard
expandToMin. Default: false
When the split is created, if expandToMin is true, the minSize for each element overrides the percentage value from the sizes option.
Example: The first element (#one) is set to 25% width of the parent container. However, it's minSize is 300px. Using expandToMin: true means that
the first element will always load at at least 300px, even if 25% were smaller.
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
sizes: [25, 75],
minSize: [300, 100],
expanedToMin: true,
})
copied to clipboard
gutterSize. Default: 10
Gutter size in pixels. Example: Setting the gutter size to 20px.
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
gutterSize: 20,
})
copied to clipboard
gutterAlign. Default: 'center'
Possible options are 'start', 'end' and 'center'. Determines how the gutter aligns between the two elements.
'start' shrinks the first element to fit the gutter, 'end' shrinks the second element to fit the gutter and 'center' shrinks both
elements by the same amount so the gutter sits between. Added in v1.5.3.
Example: move gutter to the side of the second element:
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
gutterAlign: 'end',
})
copied to clipboard
snapOffset. Default: 30
Snap to minimum size at this offset in pixels. Example: Set to 0 to disable to snap effect.
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
snapOffset: 0,
})
copied to clipboard
dragInterval. Default: 1
Drag this number of pixels at a time. Defaults to 1 for smooth dragging, but can be set to a pixel value to
give more control over the resulting sizes. Works particularly well when the gutterSize is set to the same size.
Added in v1.5.3. Example: Drag 20px at a time:
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
dragInterval: 20,
})
copied to clipboard
direction. Default: 'horizontal'
Direction to split in. Can be 'vertical' or 'horizontal'. Determines which CSS properties are applied (ie. width/height) to each element and gutter. Example: split vertically:
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
direction: 'vertical',
})
copied to clipboard
cursor. Default: 'col-resize'
Cursor to show on the gutter (also applied to the body on dragging to prevent flickering). Defaults to 'col-resize'for direction: 'horizontal' and 'row-resize' for direction: 'vertical':
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
direction: 'vertical',
cursor: 'row-resize',
})
copied to clipboard
gutter
Optional function called to create each gutter element. The signature looks like this:
;(index, direction, pairElement) => HTMLElement
copied to clipboard
Defaults to creating a div with class="gutter gutter-horizontal" or class="gutter gutter-vertical", depending on the direction. The default gutter function looks like this:
;(index, direction) => {
const gutter = document.createElement('div')
gutter.className = `gutter gutter-${direction}`
return gutter
}
copied to clipboard
The returned element is then inserted into the DOM, and it's width or height are set. This option can be used to clone an existing DOM element, or to create a new element with custom styles.
Returning a falsey value like null or false will not insert a gutter. This behavior was added in v1.4.1.
An additional argument, pairElement, is passed to the gutter function: this is the DOM element after (to the right or below) the gutter. This argument was added in v1.4.1.
This final argument makes it easy to return the gutter that has already been created, for example, if split.destroy() was called with the option to preserve the gutters.
;(index, direction, pairElement) => pairElement.previousSibling
copied to clipboard
elementStyle
Optional function called setting the CSS style of the elements. The signature looks like this:
;(dimension, elementSize, gutterSize, index) => Object
copied to clipboard
Dimension will be a string, 'width' or 'height', and can be used in the return style. elementSize is the target percentage value of the element, and gutterSize is the target pixel value of the gutter.
It should return an object with CSS properties to apply to the element. For horizontal splits, the return object looks like this:
{
'width': 'calc(50% - 5px)'
}
copied to clipboard
A vertical split style would look like this:
{
'height': 'calc(50% - 5px)'
}
copied to clipboard
You might use this function if you're using a different layout like flex (see Flex Layout).
Flex styles for a horizontal split could return an object like this:
{
'flex-basis': 'calc(50% - 5px)'
}
copied to clipboard
gutterStyle
Optional function called when setting the CSS style of the gutters. The signature looks like this:
;(dimension, gutterSize, index) => Object
copied to clipboard
Dimension is a string, either 'width' or 'height', and gutterSize is a pixel value representing the width of the gutter.
It should return a similar object as elementStyle, an object with CSS properties to apply to the gutter. Since gutters have fixed widths, it will generally look like this:
{
'width': '10px'
}
copied to clipboard
Both elementStyle and gutterStyle are called continously while dragging, so don't do anything besides return the style object in these functions. Both of these functions should be pure, returning the same values for the same inputs and not modifying any external state.
onDrag, onDragStart, onDragEnd
Callbacks that can be added on drag (fired continously), drag start and drag end. If doing more than basic operations in onDrag, add a debounce function to rate limit the callback.
onDragStart and onDragEnd are passed the initial and final sizes of the split since it's a common pattern to access the sizes this way.
Their function signature looks like this, where sizes is an array of percentage values like returned by getSizes():
sizes => {}
copied to clipboard
Usage Examples #
Reference HTML for examples. Gutters are inserted automatically:
<div>
<div id="one">content one</div>
<div id="two">content two</div>
<div id="three">content three</div>
</div>
copied to clipboard
A split with two elements, starting at 25% and 75% wide, with 200px minimum width.
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
sizes: [25, 75],
minSize: 200,
})
copied to clipboard
A split with three elements, starting with even (default) widths and minimum widths set to 100px, 100px and 300px, respectively.
Split(['#one', '#two', '#three'], {
minSize: [100, 100, 300],
})
copied to clipboard
A vertical split with two elements.
Split(['#one', '#two'], {
direction: 'vertical',
})
copied to clipboard
Saving State #
Use local storage to save the most recent state:
var sizes = localStorage.getItem('split-sizes')

if (sizes) {
sizes = JSON.parse(sizes)
} else {
sizes = [50, 50] // default sizes
}

var split = Split(['#one', '#two'], {
sizes: sizes,
onDragEnd: function(sizes) {
localStorage.setItem('split-sizes', JSON.stringify(sizes))
},
})
copied to clipboard
Flex Layout #
Flex layout is supported easily by adding a display: flex to the parent element. The width or height CSS values
assigned by default by Split.js work well with flex.
<div id="flex">
<div id="flex-1"></div>
<div id="flex-2"></div>
</div>
copied to clipboard
And CSS style like this:
#flex {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
copied to clipboard
For more complicated flex layouts, the elementStyle and gutterStyle can be used to set flex-basis:
Split(['#flex-1', '#flex-2'], {
elementStyle: function(dimension, size, gutterSize) {
return {
'flex-basis': 'calc(' + size + '% - ' + gutterSize + 'px)',
}
},
gutterStyle: function(dimension, gutterSize) {
return {
'flex-basis': gutterSize + 'px',
}
},
})

API #
Split.js returns an instance with a couple of functions. The instance is returned on creation:
var instance = Split([], ...)
copied to clipboard
.setSizes([])
setSizes behaves the same as the sizes configuration option, passing an array of percentages. It updates the sizes of the elements in the split. Added in v1.1.0:
instance.setSizes([25, 75])
copied to clipboard
.getSizes()
getSizes returns an array of percents, suitable for using with setSizes or creation. Not supported in IE8. Added in v1.1.2:
instance.getSizes() > [25, 75]
copied to clipboard
.collapse(index)
collapse changes the size of element at index to it's minSize. Every element except the last is collapsed towards the front (left or top). The last is collapsed towards the back. Not supported in IE8. Added in v1.1.0:
instance.collapse(0)
copied to clipboard
.destroy(preserveStyles? = false, preserveGutters? = false)
Destroy the instance. It removes the gutter elements, and the size CSS styles Split.js set. Added in v1.1.1.
Passing preserveStyles = true does not remove the CSS styles. Option added in v1.4.0.
Passing preserveGutters = true does not remove the gutter elements. Option added in v1.4.1.
instance.destroy()

CSS #
In being non-opionionated, the only CSS Split.js sets is the widths or heights of the elements. Everything else is left up to you. You must set the elements and gutter heights when using horizontal mode. The gutters will not be visible if their height is 0px. Here's some basic CSS to style the gutters with, although it's not required. Both grip images are included in this repo:
.gutter {
background-color: #eee;

background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 50%;
}

.gutter.gutter-horizontal {
background-image: url('grips/vertical.png');
cursor: col-resize;
}

.gutter.gutter-vertical {
background-image: url('grips/horizontal.png');
cursor: row-resize;
}
copied to clipboard
The grip images are small files and can be included with base64 instead:
.gutter.gutter-vertical {
background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAB4AAAAFAQMAAABo7865AAAABlBMVEVHcEzMzMzyAv2sAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAABBJREFUeF5jOAMEEAIEEFwAn3kMwcB6I2AAAAAASUVORK5CYII=');
}

.gutter.gutter-horizontal {
background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAeCAYAAADkftS9AAAAIklEQVQoU2M4c+bMfxAGAgYYmwGrIIiDjrELjpo5aiZeMwF+yNnOs5KSvgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==');
}
copied to clipboard
Split.js also works best when the elements are sized using border-box. The split class would have to be added manually to apply these styles:
.split {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
copied to clipboard
And for horizontal splits, make sure the layout allows elements (including gutters) to be displayed side-by-side. Floating the elements is one option:
.split,
.gutter.gutter-horizontal {
float: left;
}
copied to clipboard
If you use floats, set the height of the elements including the gutters. The gutters will not be visible otherwise if the height is set to 0px.
.split,
.gutter.gutter-horizontal {
height: 300px;
}
copied to clipboard
Overflow can be handled as well, to get scrolling within the elements:
.split {
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
copied to clipboard
Browser Support #

Gracefully falls back in IE 8 and below to only setting the initial widths/heights and not allowing dragging. IE 8 requires polyfills for Array.isArray(), Array.forEach, Array.map, Array.filter, Object.keys() and getComputedStyle. This script from Polyfill.io includes all of these, adding 1.91 kb to the gzipped size.
This is ONLY NEEDED if you are supporting IE8:
<script src="///polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js?features=Array.isArray,Array.prototype.forEach,Array.prototype.map,Object.keys,Array.prototype.filter,getComputedStyle"></script>
