Resizable Sidebar

Need help

Hey everyone,
Question: How can I create a resizable sidebar in Bubble where users can drag the edge to make it wider or narrower? The sidebar is currently a group element.
Thanks!

To create a resizable sidebar in Bubble, you’ll need to use a plugin like the “Draggable Elements” plugin. Set the sidebar as a draggable element and adjust its width dynamically based on user interaction.

Hope this will help you :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks!
Is this useful for resizing or for drag and drop? I just want the user to be able to make it wider/narrower (not drag and drop).

Can you ellaborate on this :point_down:t3:? Again, thanks!

If you want users to only resize a sidebar without the drag-and-drop functionality, you should focus on implementing a resizable UI component rather than a drag-and-drop feature.
Here’s a simplified explanation:
*Resizable Sidebar: Allows users to adjust the width of the sidebar by dragging a handle at the edge of the sidebar. The sidebar’s width will change according to the user’s action.
Drag and Drop: This typically involves moving elements around freely on the page, which might not be what you want in this case.
To implement a resizable sidebar:

  1. Create a handle: Add a small draggable element (like a vertical bar) next to the sidebar.
  2. Add functionality: Use JavaScript or a plugin to adjust the width of the sidebar when the handle is dragged. This involves tracking the handle’s position and updating the sidebar’s width accordingly.
    This way, users will only be able to adjust the width of the sidebar without moving it around the page.
