# Split

`Split` creates a two column layout when the available horizontal space makes it possible. If not, it renders as a single column. Its slots generally contain components like `Box` or `DataView`.

## Usage <a href="#usage" id="usage"></a>

```jsx
import { Box, DataView, Main, Split } from '@aragon/ui'

function App() {
  return (
    <Main>
      <Split
        primary={<DataView />}
        secondary={<Box heading="Secondary">Secondary content</Box>}
      />
    </Main>
  )
}
```

## Props <a href="#props" id="props"></a>

#### `primary` <a href="#primary" id="primary"></a>

| TYPE         | DEFAULT VALUE |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| `React node` | None          |

In two columns mode, this takes the wider space. It appears on the left (for left-to-right languages) or the right if `invert` is set to `horizontal`.

In single column mode, it appears above the `secondary` slot, or below if `invert` is set to `vertical`.

#### `secondary` <a href="#secondary" id="secondary"></a>

| TYPE         | DEFAULT VALUE |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| `React node` | None          |

In two columns mode, this is the narrower part. It appears on the right (for left to right languages) or the left if `invert` is set to `horizontal`.

In single column mode, it appears below the `primary` slot, or above if `invert` is set to `vertical`.

#### `invert` <a href="#invert" id="invert"></a>

| TYPE                                     | DEFAULT VALUE |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| `"none"`, `"horizontal"` or `"vertical"` | `"none"`      |

Invert the two slots, vertically or horizontally.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://legacy-docs.aragon.org/developers/tools/aragonui/structure/split.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
