NeighborLocation

WARNING

🚨 NeighborLocation component is deprecated and will be removed in the next releases.

TIP

Use property neighborLocation specification on components.

We did this because of the unreliability of the API and the unpredictability of neighbor detection, especially in React 18's parallel render.

Description

NeighborLocation is a component for grouping components. It indicates where the component is in relation to its neighbors.

For example, you can group together:

You may also need a flex-box to align the components. For more information, see the Flex-box and indent system.

Grouped buttons

Buttons can be grouped.

If you group primary buttons, the right one will have a 1px white border.

If you group secondary buttons, the left one will hide it's right border.

TIP

Don’t group tertiary buttons this way.

        ]}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
};

export default Demo;

Grouped input, select, and button

You can group input, select, and button.

tsx
import React from 'react';
import Input from 'intergalactic/input';
import Select from 'intergalactic/select';
import Button from 'intergalactic/button';
import { Flex } from 'intergalactic/flex-box';

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <Flex>
      <Input neighborLocation='right' w={200}>
        <Input.Value placeholder='Placeholder' />
      </Input>
      <Select
        neighborLocation='both'
        options={[
          { value: 'Option 1', children: 'Option 1' },
          { value: 'Option 2', children: 'Option 2' },
        ]}
      />
      <Button neighborLocation='left' use='primary'>
        Button
      </Button>
    </Flex>
  );
};

export default Demo;
import React from 'react';
import Input from 'intergalactic/input';
import Select from 'intergalactic/select';
import Button from 'intergalactic/button';
import { Flex } from 'intergalactic/flex-box';

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <Flex>
      <Input neighborLocation='right' w={200}>
        <Input.Value placeholder='Placeholder' />
      </Input>
      <Select
        neighborLocation='both'
        options={[
          { value: 'Option 1', children: 'Option 1' },
          { value: 'Option 2', children: 'Option 2' },
        ]}
      />
      <Button neighborLocation='left' use='primary'>
        Button
      </Button>
    </Flex>
  );
};

export default Demo;

Adding a wrapper

By default, <NeighborLocation/> doesn't create an HTML wrapper, but you can pass the component tag you want.

TIP

For the correct type mapping in the TC, you must also pass the interface. <NeighborLocation<FlexProps> tag={Flex} w={200}/>

tsx
import React from 'react';
import Button from 'intergalactic/button';
import { Flex } from 'intergalactic/flex-box';
import NeighborLocation from 'intergalactic/neighbor-location';

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <NeighborLocation tag={Flex} mb={4}>
        <Button use='primary'>Left</Button>
        <Button use='primary'>Center</Button>
        <Button use='primary'>Right</Button>
      </NeighborLocation>
      <NeighborLocation tag={Flex}>
        <Button>Left</Button>
        <Button>Center</Button>
        <Button>Right</Button>
      </NeighborLocation>
    </>
  );
};

export default Demo;
import React from 'react';
import Button from 'intergalactic/button';
import { Flex } from 'intergalactic/flex-box';
import NeighborLocation from 'intergalactic/neighbor-location';

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <NeighborLocation tag={Flex} mb={4}>
        <Button use='primary'>Left</Button>
        <Button use='primary'>Center</Button>
        <Button use='primary'>Right</Button>
      </NeighborLocation>
      <NeighborLocation tag={Flex}>
        <Button>Left</Button>
        <Button>Center</Button>
        <Button>Right</Button>
      </NeighborLocation>
    </>
  );
};

export default Demo;

Using a custom component

You can apply <NeighborLocation/> to your components. You will need to use the component <NeighborLocation.Detect/> and then the neighborLocation prop will come to your component.

TIP

You can use the render function or the element will be cloned.

tsx
import React from 'react';
import NeighborLocation from 'intergalactic/neighbor-location';

const CustomComponent: React.FC<{ neighborLocation?: string }> = ({ neighborLocation }) => {
  return <span>{neighborLocation}</span>;
};

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <NeighborLocation>
      <NeighborLocation.Detect>
        {(neighborLocation) => <span>{neighborLocation}</span>}
      </NeighborLocation.Detect>
      <NeighborLocation.Detect>
        {(neighborLocation) => <span> | {neighborLocation} | </span>}
      </NeighborLocation.Detect>
      <NeighborLocation.Detect>
        <CustomComponent />
      </NeighborLocation.Detect>
    </NeighborLocation>
  );
};

export default Demo;
import React from 'react';
import NeighborLocation from 'intergalactic/neighbor-location';

const CustomComponent: React.FC<{ neighborLocation?: string }> = ({ neighborLocation }) => {
  return <span>{neighborLocation}</span>;
};

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <NeighborLocation>
      <NeighborLocation.Detect>
        {(neighborLocation) => <span>{neighborLocation}</span>}
      </NeighborLocation.Detect>
      <NeighborLocation.Detect>
        {(neighborLocation) => <span> | {neighborLocation} | </span>}
      </NeighborLocation.Detect>
      <NeighborLocation.Detect>
        <CustomComponent />
      </NeighborLocation.Detect>
    </NeighborLocation>
  );
};
