Expand and collapse in EJ2 JavaScript Splitter control
3 Feb 202414 minutes to read
Collapsible panes
The Splitter panes can be configured with built-in expand and collapse functionalities. By default, the collapsible behavior is disabled. Enable the collapsible behavior in the paneSettings property to show or hide the expand or collapse icons in the panes. You can dynamically expand and collapse the panes by the corresponding icons.
The following code shows how to enable collapsible behavior.
// Initialize Splitter control
var splitObject = new ej.layouts.Splitter({
height: '200px',
paneSettings: [
{ size: '200px', collapsible: true },
{ size: '200px', collapsible: true },
{ size: '200px', collapsible: true }
],
width: '600px'
});
// Render initialized splitter
splitObject.appendTo('#splitter');<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
