Svelte-Splitpanes

A predictable responsive component to layout resizable view panels supporting an multitude of advanced features (min/max bounderies, snap, expand on double click, fixed size, rtl).

Why?

"To be sucessful, a good framework must come with good components."

Unfortunatly, we couldn't find any decent splitpane widget in the Svelte eco-system. But we did find one written for vue.js...

This library started as a port of vue-splitpanes and through feature enhancements, became one of the best splitpane implementation.

Special thanks to all contributors and in particular Tal500

Styling

The component can be further styled after the props have been defined by overriding the default css styling. The best way to do this is to use a class differenciator or the id="" prop and then scope your global css with this class/id.

/* The following classes can be used to style the splitter, see demos*/

.splitpanes {
  background-color: #f8f8f8;
}

.splitpanes__splitter {
  background-color: #ccc;
  position: relative;
}
.splitpanes__splitter:before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.4s;
  background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3);
  opacity: 0;
  z-index: 1;
}
.splitpanes__splitter:hover:before {
  opacity: 1;
}
.splitpanes--vertical > .splitpanes__splitter:before {
  left: -30px;
  right: -30px;
  height: 100%;
}
.splitpanes--horizontal > .splitpanes__splitter:before {
  top: -30px;
  bottom: -30px;
  width: 100%;
}

Events

The component raises the following events:

Events are easy to trap

<script>
  import { Splitpanes } from 'svelte-splitpanes';

  function handleMessage(event) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(event));
  }
</script>

<Splitpanes
  on:ready={handleMessage}
  on:resize={handleMessage}
  on:resized={handleMessage}
  on:pane-click={handleMessage}
  on:pane-maximize={handleMessage}
  on:pane-add={handleMessage}
  on:pane-remove={handleMessage}
  on:splitter-click={handleMessage} />

Contributing

If you have a great feature, feel free to open a discussion on GitHub to discuss the ideae, you may also fork Splitpanes and submit your changes back as a PR.

Building

We recommend to use pnpm package manager as it is tightly integrated with our CICD pipeline.

To setup (or update) the project, process as such:

1. Install PNPM (if not already installed), for example via npm install -g pnpm
2. Run pnpm install

To build the exported library, run pnpm package.

To build the docs for production-ready version, you need to run pnpm build, and you may display the result by pnpm preview.

Developing

After setting (or update) the environment (discussed in the previous section), you may also excecute SvelteKit in development mode by running pnpm dev. This will open a Vite server that automatically changes the result in the browser when the code is updated.

Commiting changes

• run pnpm commit

We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages are formatted. This leads to more readable messages that are easy to follow when looking through the project history. We use the git messages to auto-generate the change log.

Commits are accepted, as long as they comply to the commit message format described below.

When you push your commits to Github (by a PR or directly to the repo), your code will be verfied again by Github Actions with code formatting and linting checks. be sure to properly use pnpm format and pnpm lint

To ease the development and to enforce the process of formatting the code, perform checks and formatting the commit message, you're advised to commit using the following steps:

0. Make sure your environment is up to date, by running periodically pnpm install.
1. Make sure that all the relevant changes are staged.
2. (Optional) Run pnpm build && pnpm test to execute Playwright tests.
3. Run pnpm commit.
   • If linting or svelte checks are failed, the commit process will abort and you'll have to fix them.
   • Otherwise, you will procceed to the commitment interactive terminal, and just follow the instructions to commit your changes.

Commit Message Format

Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header is mandatory and has a special format that includes a type, a subject and an optional scope :

type(scope?)!?: subject
body?
footer?

Any line of the commit message cannot be longer than 100 characters. This allows the message to be easy to read on GitHub and various other git tools.

Type

Must be one of the following:

• build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: npm)
• ci: Changes to the CI configuration files and scripts
• docs: Documentation only changes
• feat: A new feature, increments X.9.X
• fix: A bug fix, increments X.X.9
• wip: To mark a work in progress
• perf: A code change that improves performance
• refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
• style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semicolons, etc.)
• test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
• revert: for a revert commit

adding a tailing '!' marks the commit as a BREAKING CHANGE - and will affect version numbering.

Subject

The subject contains a succinct description of the change:

• use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
• don't capitalize the first letter
• no dot (.) at the end

GH Pages (demo site)

GH Pages hold the demo site. The pages are automatically generated by every push to master.

Publishing a new release

The source code releasing cycle works by the automated bot Release Please.

Every time a new important commit is merged to master, this bot will create/update a PR for a new version proposal, containing an updated CHANGELOG.md file and an increased version number for the next release.

When a maintainer wish to publish a new release, he must perform the following tasks, in this specific order:

0. Merge all the relevant changes to master, and make sure that all Github actions checks passed and the auto-generated docs are fine.
1. Create a source code release, simply by merging the PR created by the Release Please bot. You have a chance right before the merging to modify the changelog: Modifying the PR body will change what will be displayed on the Github release page, and modifying the file changes to the CHANGELOG.md file of the PR let you change the automated changes to this file. Important: If you don't merge this release PR immediately after your manual modifications, your modifications will be lost by the next invocation of the Release Please action, which executes whenever committing to the master branch.
2. After the merging, wait until the Github Actions job named release-please is done. You should see now an auto-generated Github release on the main Github page, containing the compiled package with the source code (no need to download it manually).
3. Fetch the changes from master and publish to NPM the newly auto-generated release, by executing the following: (get the NPM_OTP from Google authenticator ):

$ pnpm login https://registry.npmjs.org/
$ git checkout master
$ git fetch
$ pnpm fetch-and-publish <NPM_OTP>

The purpose of this process is to streamline the release process, free from any human mistakes.

We run step 3 manually, and not automated on Github Actions, because we don't want to share NPM credentials as part of the Github project.

More control about Release Please

Controling the version number and forcing a release PR

Release Please actions follows semantic versioning to generate the version number. If you want to change the version number of the new release, or that Release Please bot didn't generate a PR (because there is no important change) and you want to force a new version, you may bump(or downgrade) the version by adding a new commit (replacing VERSION to a version number in the format of X.Y.Z):

git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: release VERSION (you may change the title)" -m "Release-As: VERSION"

Controlling contribution PR

You can specify additional messages in the PR body that will be included in the changelog (if relevant). An example to a body of PR containing additional messages:

feat: adds v4 UUID to crypto

This adds support for v4 UUIDs to the library.

fix(utils): unicode no longer throws exception
  PiperOrigin-RevId: 345559154
  BREAKING-CHANGE: encode method no longer throws.
  Source-Link: googleapis/googleapis@5e0dcb2

feat(utils): update encode to support unicode
  PiperOrigin-RevId: 345559182
  Source-Link: googleapis/googleapis@e5eef86

Source: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please#what-if-my-pr-contains-multiple-fixes-or-features

In the case that a contribution PR was already merged and you want to change the messages for release please, you can edit the body of the merged pull requests and add a section like:

BEGIN_COMMIT_OVERRIDE
feat: add ability to override merged commit message

fix: another message
chore: a third message
END_COMMIT_OVERRIDE
