Working with the resizable interface

Understand how to work with the resizable playground.

Working with the Resizable Interface in Prototyper

The resizable interface in Prototyper allows you to adjust the layout of your workspace to better suit your needs. This feature is particularly useful when you need to focus on specific tasks, such as coding, designing, or reviewing documentation. Here's how you can make the most out of the resizable interface:

Adjusting the Layout

  1. Hover Over the Divider: Move your cursor to the divider between the different sections of the workspace. The cursor will change to indicate that the section is resizable.
  2. Click and Drag: Click and hold the divider, then drag it to resize the sections. You can make one section larger while making the other smaller, depending on your preference.
  3. Release to Set: Once you have adjusted the sections to your desired size, release the mouse button to set the new layout.

Practical Use Cases

  • Coding and Previewing: When working with the React playground, you might want to have more space for coding. Resize the coding section to be larger while keeping the preview section smaller.
  • Design and Documentation: If you are focusing on design, you can enlarge the design section and minimize the documentation section, or vice versa.
  • Collaborative Work: When collaborating with team members, you might want to have a balanced view of both the code and the design to facilitate better communication.

Tips for Effective Use

  • Maximize Space: Use the resizable interface to maximize the space for the task you are currently focusing on. This can help reduce distractions and improve productivity.
  • Responsive Design: When working on responsive designs, frequently adjust the preview section to test how your design looks at different sizes.
  • Save Layouts: If you have a preferred layout for specific tasks, try to maintain that layout to streamline your workflow.
