Some parts of the core resizable panelling are inspired by code found in the VSCode codebase, [splitview](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/src/vs/base/browser/ui/splitview) and [gridview](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/src/vs/base/browser/ui/grid). ## Quick start Dockview has a peer dependency on `react >= 16.8.0` and `react-dom >= 16.8.0`. You can install dockview from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dockview). ``` npm install --save dockview ``` Within your project you must import or reference the stylesheet at `dockview/dist/styles/dockview.css`. For example: ```css @import '~dockview/dist/styles/dockview.css'; ``` You should also attach a dockview theme to an element containing your components. For example: ```html ``` Demonstrated below is a high level example of a `DockviewReact` component. You can follow a similar pattern for `GridviewReact`, `SplitviewReact` and `PaneviewReact` components too, see examples for more. ```tsx import { DockviewReact, DockviewReadyEvent, PanelCollection.IDockviewPanelProps } from 'dockview'; const components: PanelCollection = { default: (props: IDockviewPanelProps<{someProps: string}>) => { return
{props.params.someProps}
} }; const Component = () => { const onReady = (event: DockviewReadyEvent) => { event.api.addPanel({ id: 'panel1', component: 'default', params: { someProps: 'Hello', }, }); event.api.addPanel({ id: 'panel2', component: 'default', params: { someProps: 'World', }, position: { referencePanel: 'panel1', direction: 'below' }, }); }; return ; }; ``` Specifically for `DockviewReact` there exists higher-order components to encapsulate both the tab and contents into one logical component for the user making state sharing between the two simple, which is an optional feature. ```tsx const components: PanelCollection = { default: (props: IDockviewPanelProps<{ someProps: string }>) => { return
{props.params.someProps}
; }, fancy: (props: IDockviewPanelProps) => { const close = () => props.api.close(); return (
{props.api.title} {'Close'}
{'Hello world'}
 ); }, }; ``` ## Sandbox examples - [Dockview](https://codesandbox.io/s/simple-dockview-t6491) - [Gridview](https://codesandbox.io/s/simple-gridview-jrp0n) - [Splitview](https://codesandbox.io/s/simple-splitview-l53nn) - [Paneview](https://codesandbox.io/s/simple-paneview-v8qvb) ## Serializated layouts All view components support the methods `toJSON()`, `fromJSON(...)` and `onDidLayoutChange()`. See example [here](https://codesandbox.io/s/workspace-saving-example-euo5d). ## Theming The theme can be customized using the below set of CSS properties. You can find the built in themes [here](https://github.com/mathuo/dockview/blob/master/packages/dockview/src/theme.scss) which could be used as an example to extend upon or build your own theme. | CSS Property | Description | | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **General** | | --dv-active-sash-color | The background color a dividing sash during an interaction | | --dv-separator-border | The color of the seperator between panels | | **Paneview** | | --dv-paneview-header-border-color | - | | --dv-paneview-active-outline-color | The primary accent color, used for example to highlight the active panel in Paneviews | | **Dockview -> Dragging** | | --dv-drag-over-background-color | The overlay color applied to a group when a moving tab is dragged over | | **Dockview -> Tabs container** | | --dv-tabs-and-actions-container-font-size | - | | --dv-tabs-and-actions-container-height | Default tab height | | --dv-tabs-and-actions-container-background-color | - | | --dv-tabs-container-scrollbar-color | - | | --dv-group-view-background-color | - | | **Dockview -> Tabs** | (see [dockviewComponent.scss](https://github.com/mathuo/dockview/blob/master/packages/dockview/src/dockview/dockviewComponent.scss)) | | --dv-activegroup-visiblepanel-tab-background-color | The background color of the tab for the visible panel in the active group | | --dv-activegroup-hiddenpanel-tab-background-color | The background color of the tab for the hidden panel/s in the active group | | --dv-inactivegroup-visiblepanel-tab-background-color | The background color of the tab for the visible panel in groups other than the active group | | --dv-inactivegroup-hiddenpanel-tab-background-color | The background color of the tab for the hidden panel/s in groups other than the active group | | --dv-activegroup-visiblepanel-tab-color | The color of the tab for the visible panel in the active group | | --dv-activegroup-hiddenpanel-tab-color | The color of the tab for the hidden panel/s in the active group | | --dv-inactivegroup-visiblepanel-tab-color | The color of the tab for the visible panel in groups other than the active group | | --dv-inactivegroup-hiddenpanel-tab-color | The color of the tab for the hidden panel/s in groups other than the active group | | --dv-tab-divider-color | - | | --dv-tab-close-icon | Default tab close icon | | --dv-tab-dirty-icon | Default tab dirty icon | ## Performance Consider using React.lazy(...) to defer the importing of your panels until they are required. This has the potential to reduce the initial import cost when your application starts. ## FAQ **Q: Can I use this library without React?** **A:** In theory, yes. The library is written in plain-old JS and the parts written in ReactJS are merely wrappers around the plain-old JS components. Currently everything is published as one package though so maybe that's something to change in the future. **Q: Can I use this library with AngularJS/Vue.js or any other arbitrarily named JavaScript library/framework?** **A:** Yes but with some extra work. Dockview is written in plain-old JS so you can either interact directly with the plain-old JS components or create a wrapper using your prefered library/framework. The React wrapper may give some ideas on how this wrapper implementation could be done for other libraries/frameworks. Maybe that's something to change in the future.
