#### Description [src]

    final class Adw.NavigationSplitView : Gtk.Widget
      implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A widget presenting sidebar and content side by side or as a navigation view.

`AdwNavigationSplitView` has two `AdwNavigationPage` children: sidebar and content, and displays them side by side.

When `AdwNavigationSplitView:collapsed` is set to `TRUE`, it instead puts both children inside an `AdwNavigationView`. The `AdwNavigationSplitView:show-content` controls which child is visible while collapsed.

See also `AdwOverlaySplitView`.

`AdwNavigationSplitView` is typically used together with an `AdwBreakpoint` setting the `collapsed` property to `TRUE` on small widths, as follows:

    <object class="AdwWindow">
      <property name="width-request">280</property>
      <property name="height-request">200</property>
      <property name="default-width">800</property>
      <property name="default-height">800</property>
      <child>
        <object class="AdwBreakpoint">
          <condition>max-width: 400sp</condition>
          <setter object="split_view" property="collapsed">True</setter>
        </object>
      </child>
      <property name="content">
        <object class="AdwNavigationSplitView" id="split_view">
          <property name="sidebar">
            <object class="AdwNavigationPage">
              <property name="title" translatable="yes">Sidebar</property>
              <property name="child">
                <!-- ... -->
              </property>
            </object>
          </property>
          <property name="content">
            <object class="AdwNavigationPage">
              <property name="title" translatable="yes">Content</property>
              <property name="child">
                <!-- ... -->
              </property>
            </object>
          </property>
        </object>
      </property>
    </object>

## Sizing

When not collapsed, `AdwNavigationSplitView` changes the sidebar width depending on its own width.

If possible, it tries to allocate a fraction of the total width, controlled with the `AdwNavigationSplitView:sidebar-width-fraction` property.

The sidebar also has minimum and maximum sizes, controlled with the `AdwNavigationSplitView:min-sidebar-width` and `AdwNavigationSplitView:max-sidebar-width` properties.

The minimum and maximum sizes are using the length unit specified with the `AdwNavigationSplitView:sidebar-width-unit`.

By default, sidebar is using 25% of the total width, with 180sp as the minimum size and 280sp as the maximum size.

## Header Bar Integration

When used inside `AdwNavigationSplitView`, `AdwHeaderBar` will automatically hide the window buttons in the middle.

When collapsed, it also displays a back button for the content widget, as well as the page titles. See `AdwNavigationView` documentation for details.

## Actions

`AdwNavigationSplitView` defines the same actions as `AdwNavigationView`, but they can be used even when the split view is not collapsed:

- `navigation.push` takes a string parameter specifying the tag of the page to push. If it matches the tag of the content widget, it sets `AdwNavigationSplitView:show-content` to `TRUE`.

- `navigation.pop` doesn’t take any parameters and sets `AdwNavigationSplitView:show-content` to `FALSE`.

## `AdwNavigationSplitView` as `GtkBuildable`

The `AdwNavigationSplitView` implementation of the `GtkBuildable` interface supports setting the sidebar widget by specifying “sidebar” as the “type” attribute of a `<child>` element, Specifying “content” child type or omitting it results in setting the content widget.

## CSS nodes

`AdwNavigationSplitView` has a single CSS node with the name `navigation-split-view`.

When collapsed, it contains a child node with the name `navigation-view` containing both children.

    navigation-split-view
    ╰── navigation-view
        ├── [sidebar child]
        ╰── [content child]

When not collapsed, it contains two nodes with the name `widget`, one with the `.sidebar-pane` style class, the other one with `.content-view` style class, containing the sidebar and content children respectively.

    navigation-split-view
    ├── widget.sidebar-pane
    │   ╰── [sidebar child]
    ╰── widget.content-pane
        ╰── [content child]
