# React Spaces



![NPM](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/react-spaces.svg) ![Azure Pipelines](https://allan-eagle.visualstudio.com/All%20projects/_apis/build/status/aeagle.react-spaces?branchName=master)



An easy to understand and nestable layout system, React Spaces allow you to divide a page or container into anchored, scrollable and resizable spaces enabling you to build desktop/mobile type user interfaces in the browser.



Rather than a library of visual UI components, Spaces are intended to be the reusable foundational blocks for laying out a UI which responds neatly to view port resizes leaving you to fill them with whatever components you want.



-   No styling to achieve simple or complex layouts.

-   Spaces know how to behave in relation to each other and resize accordingly.

-   Spaces don't have any visual element to them (even padding or margins). You can fill them with whatever you want.



**Version 0.2.0 release - read [release notes here](https://www.allaneagle.com/react-spaces/release-0.2.0).**

### Top level spaces



Used at the top level of all other spaces.



**\**



This space will take over the full viewport of the browser window. Resizing the browser window will automatically adjust the size of this space and all the nested spaces.



**\**



This space can be given a height and optionally a width (by default it will size to 100% of it's container). All nested spaces will be contained within this fixed size space.



### Anchored spaces



These can be used within the top-level spaces **\** and **\** or nested within other spaces.



**\** and **\**



A space anchored to the left or right of the parent container/space. A size can be specified in pixels or as a percentage to determine its width.



**\** and **\**



A space anchored to the top or bottom of the parent container/space. A size can be specified in pixels or as a percentage to determine its height.



There are resizable versions of these components called **\**, **\**, **\** and **\** which allow the spaces to be resized from the outer edge by dragging with the mouse.



### Other



**\**



A space which consumes any available area left in the parent container/space taking into account any anchored spaces on every side.



**\**



A space which can be absolutely placed within a parent space either by top, left, width and height or by top, left, right and bottom.



**\**



Layers allow you to create layers within a parent space, for example:



```html



	  // floating sidebar 

	

		

	



```



**\**



Centres the content of a space horizontally and vertically.



**\**



Centres the content of a space vertically.
