Mantine Split Pane Component

Overview

A Mantine 9 React component for resizable split pane layouts with 7 resizer variants, context-based prop inheritance, responsive orientation, and dynamic pane generation.

This component is created on top of the Mantine library. It requires Mantine 9.x and React 19.

Features

• Separate Split.Pane (content) and Split.Resizer (drag handle) architecture
• 7 resizer variants: default, filled, outline, transparent, gradient, dotted, dashed
• Initial sizes in pixels or percentages with min/max constraints
• grow property to let specific panes expand to fill available space
• Horizontal and vertical orientation, including responsive breakpoints
• Context-based prop inheritance: resizer props set on Split cascade to all children
• Per-resizer overrides for full control
• Snap points for common pane sizes during drag and keyboard resizing
• autoResizers mode to automatically insert resizers between panes
• Split.Dynamic helper to generate panes from a configuration array
• Resize lifecycle events (onResizeStart, onResizing, onResizeEnd) on both pane and resizer — fired on drag, keyboard resize, and double-click reset
• Custom content inside Split.Resizer for drag-affordance icons, labels, or fully bespoke handles
• Keyboard accessible: focusable resizer with configurable step and shiftStep
• Container resize tracking with drag ratio preservation

Split vs Mantine core Splitter

Since v9.3, Mantine core ships its own Splitter component. The basics overlap, but the two make different trade-offs:

• Fully customizable resizer — Split.Resizer is a standalone component with 7 variants, gradients, hover states, knob, custom cursors and custom content; core's Splitter renders a separator line with a grip icon
• Snap points — panes snap to predefined sizes while dragging or resizing with the keyboard (snapPoints, onSnap); not available in core
• CSS-unit sizing — pane sizes and constraints accept px, %, rem (initialWidth, minWidth, ...), while core works with percentages that must sum to 100
• Responsive everything — orientation, pane sizes, min/max and snap points accept Mantine breakpoint maps; core's orientation and sizes are plain values
• Config-driven layouts — Split.Dynamic generates panes and resizers from a PaneConfig[] array

Core's Splitter shines for simple proportional layouts and ships collapsible panes plus the headless use-splitter hook. See the full comparison in the documentation.

Installation

npm install @gfazioli/mantine-split-pane

or

yarn add @gfazioli/mantine-split-pane

After installation import package styles at the root of your application:

import '@gfazioli/mantine-split-pane/styles.css';

Usage

import { Split } from '@gfazioli/mantine-split-pane';
import { Paper } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Split>
      <Split.Pane>
        <Paper withBorder w="100%" mih="100%">
          <h1>Pane 1</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>

      <Split.Resizer />

      <Split.Pane>
        <Paper withBorder>
          <h1>Pane 2</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>
    </Split>
  );
}

Auto Resizers

Use the autoResizers prop to automatically insert resizers between panes:

import { Split } from '@gfazioli/mantine-split-pane';
import { Paper } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Split autoResizers>
      <Split.Pane>
        <Paper withBorder w="100%" mih="100%">
          <h1>Pane 1</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>

      <Split.Pane>
        <Paper withBorder>
          <h1>Pane 2</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>

      <Split.Pane>
        <Paper withBorder>
          <h1>Pane 3</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>
    </Split>
  );
}

Snap Points

Use snapPoints and snapTolerance to snap a resizer to common pane sizes in pixels while dragging or using the keyboard:

import { Split } from '@gfazioli/mantine-split-pane';
import { Paper } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Split autoResizers snapPoints={[200, 400, 600]} snapTolerance={20}>
      <Split.Pane initialWidth={240}>
        <Paper withBorder w="100%" mih="100%">
          <h1>Pane 1</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>

      <Split.Pane initialWidth={320}>
        <Paper withBorder w="100%" mih="100%">
          <h1>Pane 2</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>

      <Split.Pane grow>
        <Paper withBorder w="100%" mih="100%">
          <h1>Pane 3</h1>
        </Paper>
      </Split.Pane>
    </Split>
  );
}

snapPoints and snapTolerance are also available on Split.Resizer for per-divider overrides. With autoResizers, the generated resizers inherit these values from Split.

Dynamic Panes

You can also use Split.Dynamic to create panes from a configuration array:

import { Split, PaneConfig } from '@gfazioli/mantine-split-pane';
import { Paper } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  const panes: PaneConfig[] = [
    {
      id: 'sidebar',
      initialWidth: 200,
      minWidth: 150,
      content: (
        <Paper withBorder w="100%" h="100%">
          <h1>Sidebar</h1>
        </Paper>
      ),
    },
    {
      id: 'main',
      grow: true,
      content: (
        <Paper withBorder w="100%" h="100%">
          <h1>Main Content</h1>
        </Paper>
      ),
    },
  ];

  return (
    <Split>
      {Split.Dynamic({ panes })}
    </Split>
  );
}
