Usage and properties

Let people divide space between neighbouring panels. Apply CSS after the component layer to restyle the documented parts.

Use the installation guide to add blinc_cn and its component stylesheet. Create the fixture bindings once, and return the demo from your UI builder. Values marked Bound accept Signal/Computed sources where the API supports them; structural options configure the component at construction.

Keyboard and interaction

Drag the divider to resize the panels; this example demonstrates pointer resizing.

Customizing it

Add application CSS after the default component layer. These selectors are the restyling surface for this component:

  • .cn-resizable
  • .cn-resizable-handle
  • .cn-resizable-line

Theme and component variables: --primary, --text-primary, --text-secondary, --surface, --border, --radius-default, --duration-fast, --ease-state.

Built-in themes

The Live theme control installs Blinc's own theme bundles, including their colours, focus rings, corner shapes and motion tokens.

pub fn theme_bundle_for(name: &str) -> blinc_theme::ThemeBundle {
    match name {
        "restrained" => blinc_theme::RestrainedTheme::bundle(),
        "expressive" => blinc_theme::ExpressiveTheme::bundle(),
        _ => blinc_theme::HybridTheme::bundle(),
    }
    .with_css(blinc_cn::cn_styles::CN_STYLES)
}

Download the default widget and component stylesheets. Sample assets and licenses are available in the asset guide.

Documentation

From the canonical component guide.

Panel sizes and limits are pixels. A flex_grow() panel takes the remaining space, and the group inserts its handles between panels:

resizable_group().horizontal()
    .panel(resizable_panel()
        .default_size(200.0).min_size(100.0).max_size(400.0)
        .child(text("Left panel")))
    .panel(resizable_panel().flex_grow().child(text("Right panel")))
    .on_resize(|sizes| {
        let _ = sizes;
    })

A vertical group uses the same panel builder:

resizable_group().vertical()
    .panel(resizable_panel().default_size(150.0).child(text("Top panel")))
    .panel(resizable_panel().flex_grow().child(text("Bottom panel")))

The .cn-resizable-handle contains .cn-resizable-line. Its hover and data-state="dragging" rules control the line's appearance. There is no standalone resizable_handle() builder.

Platforms and version

The component API is available in Blinc 0.6.0. The Live example runs in a dedicated worker and requires a compatible GPU surface. Preview and Code remain available when Live cannot start. The canvas has a descriptive label; a full screen-reader DOM mirror is not provided. The gallery integration is based on revision e2e55c24e078.

Recordings and live demos use the default Hybrid theme with bundled Noto Sans. The recording uses a 560 × 320 logical viewport at twice that resolution. Live follows its container and actual display density. Source base revision · Exact build source · Artifact versions and checksums · Font license.
