Adding control to the application

Now open your view page to render splitter control.

razor

controller.cs

@Html.EJS().Splitter("splitter").Width("600px").Height("250px").
PaneSettings(item => { item.Content("<div></div>").Add();item.Content("<div></div>").Add();item.Content("<div></div>").Add();}).Render()

public class HomeController : Controller

razor

controller.cs

@Html.EJS().Splitter("splitter").Width("550px").Height("250px").PaneSettings(item => {
    item.Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>HTML</h3><div class='code-preview'>&lt;<span>!DOCTYPE html&gt;</span><div>&lt;<span>html&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>body&gt;</span></div>&lt;<span>div</span> id='custom-image'&gt;<div style='margin-left: 5px'>&lt;<span>img</span> src='src/albert.png'&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>div</span>&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>/body&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>/html&gt;</span></div></div></div>").Add();
    item.Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>CSS</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>img {</span><div id='code-text'>margin:<span>0 auto;</span></div><div id='code-text'>display:<span>flex;</span></div><div id='code-text'>height:<span>70px;</span></div><span>   }</span></div></div>").Add();
    item.Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>JavaScript</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>var</span> image = document.getElementById('custom-image');<div>image.addEventListener('click', function() {</div><div style='padding-left: 20px;'>// Code block for click action</div><span> }</span></div></div>").Add();}).Render()

<style>
    #code-text {
        margin-left: 5px;
    }

    .code-preview {
        margin-top: 15px;
        font-size: 12px;
    }

    .h3 {
        font-size: 14px;
        margin: 4px;
    }

    .content {
        padding: 12px;
    }

    .splitter-image {
        margin: 0 auto;
        display: flex;
        height: 115px;
        margin-top: 10px;
    }
</style>

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Output be like the below.

Loading content to the panes

Configure pane size

You can specify the size to each pane using Size property. It accepts pane values in percentage and pixel types.

In case of pane size is not declared, panes will equally share the sizes automatically.

For Horizontal orientation, panes will share the total width. For Vertical orientation, panes will share the total height.

razor

controller.cs

@Html.EJS().Splitter("splitter").Width("550px").Height("250px").PaneSettings(item => {
item.Size("40%").Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>HTML</h3><div class='code-preview'>&lt;<span>!DOCTYPE html&gt;</span><div>&lt;<span>html&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>body&gt;</span></div>&lt;<span>div</span> id='custom-image'&gt;<div style='margin-left: 5px'>&lt;<span>img</span> src='src/albert.png'&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>div</span>&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>/body&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>/html&gt;</span></div></div></div>").Add();
item.Size("20%").Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>CSS</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>img {</span><div id='code-text'>margin:<span>0 auto;</span></div><div id='code-text'>display:<span>flex;</span></div><div id='code-text'>height:<span>70px;</span></div><span>   }</span></div></div>").Add();
item.Size("40%").Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>JavaScript</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>var</span> image = document.getElementById('custom-image');<div>image.addEventListener('click', function() {</div><div style='padding-left: 20px;'>// Code block for click action</div><span> }</span></div></div>").Add();}).Render()

<style>
    #code-text {
        margin-left: 5px;
    }

    .code-preview {
        margin-top: 15px;
        font-size: 12px;
    }

    .h3 {
        font-size: 14px;
        margin: 4px;
    }

    .content {
        padding: 12px;
    }

    .splitter-image {
        margin: 0 auto;
        display: flex;
        height: 115px;
        margin-top: 10px;
    }
</style>

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Resizable panes

Splitter allows you to change the pane dimensions by resizing the panes. By default, all the panes are resizable. You can disable the resize by using Resizable property in each pane settings.

razor

controller.cs

@Html.EJS().Splitter("splitter").Width("550px").Height("250px").PaneSettings(item => {
item.Size("40%").Min("30px").Resizable(false).Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>HTML</h3><div class='code-preview'>&lt;<span>!DOCTYPE html&gt;</span><div>&lt;<span>html&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>body&gt;</span></div>&lt;<span>div</span> id='custom-image'&gt;<div style='margin-left: 5px'>&lt;<span>img</span> src='src/albert.png'&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>div</span>&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>/body&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>/html&gt;</span></div></div></div>").Add();
item.Size("20%").Min("15%").Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>CSS</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>img {</span><div id='code-text'>margin:<span>0 auto;</span></div><div id='code-text'>display:<span>flex;</span></div><div id='code-text'>height:<span>70px;</span></div><span>   }</span></div></div>").Add();
item.Size("40%").Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>JavaScript</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>var</span> image = document.getElementById('custom-image');<div>image.addEventListener('click', function() {</div><div style='padding-left: 20px;'>// Code block for click action</div><span> }</span></div></div>").Add();}).Render()

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Output be like the below.

Resizable panes

Set minimum and maximum pane sizes

Splitter allows you to set the minimum and maximum sizes for each pane. Resize will happens up to the minimum and maximum values only. It will accepts the size in both percentage and pixel formats.

razor

controller.cs

@Html.EJS().Splitter("splitter").Width("550px").Height("250px").PaneSettings(item => {
item.Size("40%").Min("30px").Max("60%").Resizable(false).Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>HTML</h3><div class='code-preview'>&lt;<span>!DOCTYPE html&gt;</span><div>&lt;<span>html&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>body&gt;</span></div>&lt;<span>div</span> id='custom-image'&gt;<div style='margin-left: 5px'>&lt;<span>img</span> src='src/albert.png'&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>div</span>&gt;</div><div>&lt;<span>/body&gt;</span></div><div>&lt;<span>/html&gt;</span></div></div></div>").Add();
item.Size("20%").Min("15%").Max("40%").Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>CSS</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>img {</span><div id='code-text'>margin:<span>0 auto;</span></div><div id='code-text'>display:<span>flex;</span></div><div id='code-text'>height:<span>70px;</span></div><span>   }</span></div></div>").Add();
item.Size("40%").Content("<div class='content'><h3 class='h3'>JavaScript</h3><div class='code-preview'><span>var</span> image = document.getElementById('custom-image');<div>image.addEventListener('click', function() {</div><div style='padding-left: 20px;'>// Code block for click action</div><span> }</span></div></div>").Add();}).Render()

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Orientation

Splitter supports both Horizontal and Vertical orientation for the panes. By default, it will be rendered in Horizontal orientation. You can change it by using Orientation property.

razor

controller.cs

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Layouts
@Html.EJS().Splitter("vertical").CssClass("splitterContent").Width("100%").Height("200px").PaneSettings(item => {
item.Size("50%").Min("30%").Content("<div class='content'> Top pane</div>").Add();
item.Size("50%").Min("30%").Content("<div class='content'> Bottom pane</div>").Add(); }).Orientation(Orientation.Vertical).Render()

<style>
    .content {
        justify-content: center;
        text-align: center;
        align-items: center;
        height: 100%;
        display: flex;
    }
</style>

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Output be like the below.

Orientation

Nested Splitter

Splitter provides support to render the nested pane to achieve the complex layouts. You can render the nested splitter using the <div> element provided for parent splitter.

Also you can render the nested splitter using direct child of the splitter pane. For this, nested splitter should have 100% width and height to match with the parent pane dimensions.

razor

controller.cs

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Layouts

@{
    var pane4Content = @"<div class='content'>
    <h3 class='h3'>Preview of sample</h3>
    <div class='splitter-image'>
         <img class='img1' src='https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/listview/images/albert.png' style='width: 20%;margin: 0 auto;'/>
    </div>
</div>";
}

<div>
    @Html.EJS().Splitter("outerSplitter").Created("onCreate").PaneSettings(item => {
    item.Size("50%").Min("30%").Add();
    item.Size("50%").Content(@pane4Content).Min("30%").Add();
}).Height("430px").Width("600px").Orientation(Orientation.Vertical).Render()
</div>
<style>
    .h3 {
        font-size: 14px;
        margin: 4px;
    }

    .content {
        padding: 12px;
    }

    .splitter-image {
        margin: 0 auto;
        display: flex;
        height: 115px;
        margin-top: 10px;
    }

    #code-text {
        margin-left: 5px;

    function onCreate(args) {
        document.getElementById('outerSplitter').querySelector('.e-pane-vertical').setAttribute('id', 'Innersplitter');
        var splitterObj = new ej.layouts.Splitter({
