Page

The page component is used to define the basic layout of a page with either vertical or horizontal navigation.

Examples

Basic page components

A page will typically contain the following components:

  • A <Page> with a masthead prop that often contains a masthead component
    • Mastheads contain the <PageToggleButton>, a <MastheadMain> that contains a <MastheadBrand>, and the page's header toolbar within <MastheadContent>.
  • 1 or more <PageSidebarBody> components inside <PageSidebar> for vertical navigation or other sidebar content
  • 1 or more <PageSection> components

Vertical navigation

To add a vertical sidebar to a <Page>, pass a <PageSidebar> component into the sidebar property. To render navigation in the sidebar, pass a <PageSidebarBody> component to <PageSidebar>.

The isSidebarOpen property helps facilitate the opening and closing of the sidebar and should be 'true' when the sidebar is visible.

Multiple sidebar body

You can have multiple <PageSidebarBody> components inside the <PageSidebar> for more customization. You can modify the <PageSidebarBody> further by passing the following properties:

  • usePageInsets will modify the component's insets to match page insets
  • isFilled={true} will cause the component to grow to fill the available vertical space
  • isFilled={false} will cause the component to not grow to fill the available vertical space

By default, the last <PageSidebarBody> will grow to fill the available vertical space. This can be changed by passing isFilled={false} as demonstrated in the following example.

Second sidebar body (with insets)
Third sidebar body (with fill)
Fourth sidebar body (with insets and no fill)

Horizontal navigation

To add horizontal navigation to the top of a <Page>, add the navigation inside of a <ToolbarItem> in the <Toolbar> that is passed to the <MastheadContent> of the <Masthead>.

Uncontrolled navigation

When the isManagedSidebar property is true, it manages the sidebar open/close state, removing the need to pass both isSidebarOpen into the <PageSidebar> and onSidebarToggle into the <PageToggleButton>.

Filled page sections

By default, page sections will not expand to fill in the available vertical space in a page.

To change this default behavior, pass isContentFilled to the <Page> component and isFilled={true} to any child <PageSection> or <PageGroup> component that you want to fill the space. If multiple components are set to fill, then the available space will be split equally between them.

Main section padding

To adjust the padding of a <PageSection>, you can pass in different values to the padding property. These values should be aligned to a specific breakpoint: 'default', 'sm', 'md', 'lg', 'xl', and '2xl'. Each breakpoint passed into the property should be given a value of either ‘padding’ or ‘noPadding’.

As the page's viewport width increases, breakpoints inherit the padding behavior of the previous breakpoint. For example, padding that is set on 'lg' also applies to 'xl' and '2xl'.

To remove padding entirely, pass 'noPadding' to the default breakpoint. For example, the second section in this example passes in padding={{ default: 'noPadding' }}. Since no specific breakpoints are mentioned, every breakpoint will have 'noPadding'.

To add padding at specific breakpoints, pass in "padding" at those breakpoints. For example, the third section in this example passes in padding={{ default: 'noPadding', md: 'padding' }}. At 'md', 'lg', 'xl', and '2xl' breakpoints, the default value will be overwritten, and padding will be added.

To remove padding at specific breakpoints, pass in 'noPadding' at those breakpoints. For example, the fourth section in this example passes in padding={{ md: 'noPadding' }}, which means that 'md', 'lg' 'xl', and '2xl' breakpoints will have noPadding.

Main section variations

This example shows all types of page sections.

Navigation
Section with type="subnav" for horizontal subnav navigation
Section with type="nav" for tertiary navigation
Section with type="tabs" for tabs
Section with type="breadcrumb" for breadcrumbs
Section without type prop or type="default" for main sections
Section with type="wizard" for wizards

Group section

To group page content sections, add 1 or more <PageGroup> components to a <Page>.

The following example adds a group containing <PageBreadcrumb> and <PageSection> components.

To add additional components and information to a group, you may use the following properties:

  • To indicate that a breadcrumb should be in a group, use isBreadcrumbGrouped.
  • To indicate that horizontal sub navigation should be in a group, use isHorizontalSubnavGrouped.
  • To specify additional group content, use additionalGroupedContent.

Centered section

By default, a page section spans the width of the page. To reduce the width of a section, use the isWidthLimited property. To center align width-limited page sections, use the isCenterAligned property. When the main content area of a page is wider than the value of a centered, width-limited page section's --pf-v5-c-page--section--m-limit-width--MaxWidth custom property, the section will automatically be centered.

The content in this example is placed in a card to better illustrate how the section behaves when it is centered, but a card is not required to center a page section.

When a width limited page section is wider than the value of --pf-v6-c-page--section--m-limit-width--MaxWidth, the section will be centered in the main section.

The content in this example is placed in a card to better illustrate how the section behaves when it is centered. A card is not required to center a page section.
