The base structure it's a grid with 5 columns, at most 5, at least 3 all the time visible, with 1 or 2 always potentially width: 0px
Grid-columns are [ ( 'leftMenu' '{leftPanel?}' ) 'main' ( '{rightPanel?}' 'rightMenu' ) ]
.
Side note: leftPanel
and rightPanel
are only visible if needed. Internally they are a grid-area
sub-populated as a flex
with direction column
leftMenu | leftPanel | main | rightPanel | rightMenu |
---|---|---|---|---|
announced panels for side: left |
panels[ ] qualifying for side and visibility properties | user main app | panels[ ] qualifying for side and visibility properties | announced panels for side: right |
The <MuiPanelProvider>
is a HOC Context driven manager suggested to be added close the the root of the document, preferably outside the Β±<Router>
but inside the <MuiTheme>
The MuiPanelProvider constitutes of a wrapper around the Context API that acts as a store, with a few methods exposed to the user for managing the states, along with some internal methods that allow the panels to announce themselves, broadcast state changes and react to events. Communication is duplex and the panels themselves are in a dual-binding open chat with the Provider.
import { createTheme, ThemeOptions, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles'
// import { useMemo } from 'react'
// import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom'
// import routes from './routes'
export default (): JSX.Element => {
const theme = useMemo(() => createTheme({ palette: { type: 'dark' } } as ThemeOptions), [])
return <ThemeProvider {...{ theme }}>
{/* ... */}
<MuiPanelProvider>
{/* notification?... */}
{/* login/modals/errors?... */}
{/* ... */}
<Router>
{/* ... */}
<Switch>
{routes.map(({ path, exact, component }) => <Route key={path} {...{ exact, path, component }} />)}

Self organizing manager wrapper that renders all children given
Hint: Panels can issue notifications
Hint: Panels can feature automatic padding
The component creates an object for the status bar that can be clicked. It's self registered and managed
Hint: Direct actions are permitted
Hint: As well placed menu actions
Hint: Informational sections
Hint: Errors are using the secondary color
Internally the wrapper <MupStatusBar>
bound to the scene is not being rendered and started if there are no <MupStatus>
announced across the application at any point in time. Later instantiation is fully encouraged to de-clutter the DOM.
Add a section to either primary
or secondary
side of the status bar. An omission will result in a default section.
Each MupStatus
entity must contain an id
in form of an unique identifier across the session.
<MuiPanelProvider />
allows the user to configure the status bar with the following properties:

The component creates an ποΈ ( + π ) object that can be clicked. It's self registered and managed
HINT: Works great to display a logo or a button with a custom icon ( + text )
Allows the developer to add to the sidebars a logo, a logo with a custom short text, or a button triggering a custom action.
Internally the <MuiPanelProvider>
is made aware of the <MupButton>
instance after the first render which triggers the internal hook to upstream call the provider with a new entity.
