Description

There are four main components:

AbsolutePanel

AbsolutePanel is the container for a page. It provides events for when the window is resized.

Window

Window is used by the AbsolutePanel but can also be used on its own. It provides an event for when the window (browser) is resized, passing the Width and Height.

VerticalSliderPanel

Provides two content components and a vertical splitter between the two. Handles all UI requirements.

HorizontalSliderPanel

Provides two content components and a horizontal splitter between the two. Handles all UI requirements.

Usage

Add to _Imports.razor:

@using BlazorSliders

Change your \Shared\MainLayout.razor to the following:

@inherits LayoutComponentBase
@Body

For Blazor Server:

ServerPrerendered is not supported.

In your _Hosts.cshtml file, set the following:

<component type="typeof(App)" render-mode="Server" />

For .NET 6 projects, in your _Hosts.cshtml file, set the following:

<component type="typeof(HeadOutlet)" render-mode="Server" />

In .NET 5: Add the following line to ConfigureServices in Startup.cs :

services.AddScoped<SliderInterop>();

^{snippet source | anchor}

In .NET 6: Add the following to Program.cs:

services.AddScoped<SliderInterop>();

^{snippet source | anchor}

For Blazor WebAssembly:

Add the following to Main() in Program.cs:

builder.Services.AddScoped<SliderInterop>();

^{snippet source | anchor}

Simple Vertical Split:

@page "/"

<AbsolutePanel AutoResize="true">
    <VerticalSliderPanel LeftPanelStartingWidth="400">
        <LeftChildContent>
            <div style="padding:10px;">
                <h3>Left Content</h3>
                This is a demo of a single vertical slider panel.
            </div>
        </LeftChildContent>
        <RightChildContent>
            <div style="padding:10px;">
                <h3>Right Content</h3>
                <NavMenu />
            </div>
        </RightChildContent>
    </VerticalSliderPanel>
</AbsolutePanel>

^{snippet source | anchor}

Simple Horizontal Split:

@page "/horizontals"

<AbsolutePanel AutoResize="true">
    <HorizontalSliderPanel TopPanelHeight="200">
        <TopChildContent>
            <div style="padding:10px;">
                <h3>Top Content</h3>
                This is a demo of a single horizontal slider panel.
            </div>
        </TopChildContent>
        <BottomChildContent>
            <div style="padding:10px;">
                <h3>Bottom Content</h3>
                <NavMenu />
            </div>
        </BottomChildContent>
    </HorizontalSliderPanel>
</AbsolutePanel>

                        This demo sets the location of the sliders based on a percentage of the
                        initial size of the browser.

Complex Nesting:

Note: Vertical nesting in vertical panels and horizontal nesting in horizontal panels has now been implemented as shown below.

Vertical Panel Nested in Vertical Panel:

@page "/doublevertical"

<AbsolutePanel AutoResize="true">
    <VerticalSliderPanel LeftPanelStartingWidth="600">
        <LeftChildContent>
            <VerticalSliderPanel PanelPosition="PanelPosition.Left" LeftPanelStartingWidth="400">
                <LeftChildContent>
                    <div style="padding:10px;">
                        <h3>Left Content in the Left Parent Panel</h3>
                        This is a demo of a nested vertical slider panel.
