Is there a way to get the initial size from the rendered DOM ?

[julienw]

Hi,

I have a layout where I'd like to initially position the splitter using flex (with a flex-basis set to auto to make it dependant on its content). But currently it's not possible as SplitterLayout forcibly sets a calculated or provided height (or width), unless I missed something.

Maybe a way could be to accept an initialSize without appending the unit, so that we could use auto or even a calc-based value.

Hi,

Auto initial size is not supported now. And without units, size values won't be valid.
I'll check whether this is possible when I get some time.

Yes, I think about it only for the initial size, not for subsequent sizes (after manually resizing) that would be in px.

I prefer not setting invalid values at any time. Maybe it's possible to ignore initial values at all for such cases. Will do some tests about it.

I thought we could provide an initial size that could be a full string, like calc(100vh - 120px) or auto. It's not invalid in this case.

But because the code forcefully appends px or % to the size, it's not possible.

This might need quite a few changes due to how the splitter is currently is implemented.
I'll consider whether it's our best option.
