Odd scrolling behavior (Solved)

mboeni

Hi there

I have the following layout:

What I want:

Only the middle section “Chat Messages” (between the two drawers) should scroll
The scrollbars only show in the middle section

What actually happens:

The right drawer scrolls along
The scrollbars are to the far right

Here is the corresponding code:

<template>
  <div class="q-pa-md flex">
    <q-layout view="hHh Lpr lff" container style="height: 500px" class="shadow-2 rounded-borders">
      <q-header class="bg-blue-grey-9">
        <q-toolbar>
          <q-btn flat @click="drawerLeft = !drawerLeft" round dense icon="menu" />
          <q-space/>
          <q-btn flat @click="drawerRight = !drawerRight" round dense icon="menu" />
        </q-toolbar>
      </q-header>

      <q-drawer
        v-model="drawerLeft"
        show-if-above
        bordered
        :width="200"
        :breakpoint="700"
      >
          <div class="q-pa-sm">
            <div>IVE Picture</div>
          </div>
      </q-drawer>

      <q-drawer
        side="right"
        v-model="drawerRight"
        show-if-above
        bordered
        :width="200"
        :breakpoint="600"
      >
          <div class="q-pa-sm">
            <div>Tools and Debug</div>
          </div>
      </q-drawer>

      <q-page-container>
         <q-page class="q-pa-sm">
             <div v-for="n in 50" :key="n">Chat message {{ n }} / 50</div>
          </q-page>
      </q-page-container>

    </q-layout>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: 'IveChat',
  data () {
    return {
      drawerLeft: false,
      drawerRight: false
    }
  }
}
</script>

Any ideas to get this right?

Cheers,
Michael

Any particular reason why you are using a layout within a layout?

I’ve based the above on an example I saw on the docs, so no - there is no specific reason apart from the fact that it looked like I wanted. What would be the proper way of making this work (left drawer - content - right drawer) ?

Cheers,
Michael

You have all that in your outside layout. So, create your chat window on the page itself, without the inside layout.

I think I need a little more context. I’m still new on the web side of development and am probably making rookie mistakes…

Removing the “inner” layout messes up the whole app:

Would you be up to adding what you have to a codesandbox? https://codesandbox.quasar.dev

Fork the sandbox and add your code.

Try to play with layout builder, must be a setting in view prop so scrolling wont tag along, tho eventually it will scroll along when youve scrolled at bottom end or top ends of your child component.

@s-molinari
All right, I’ve created a sandbox and uploaded the relevant files: https://codesandbox.io/s/codesandbox-app-c16tu

@metalsadman
I have been working with the layout builder, although I get the feeling its only usable to create layouts that are the “main layout” for the whole app. It does not seem to really show how to create a “child layout” like I need it in the “Chat” view.

The aim is as follows:
The main app should consist of the custom chrome, top toolbar and left drawer. Depending on what icon I click on the drawer, the ‘pane’ to the right is showing the appropriate content - whatever that may be: like the settings page with the given layout or the chat window.

Here’s a mockup:

I am just completely lost on how to integrate all that together - I’m missing the best practices / approaches that are probably common in web dev.

Cheers,

another note: The scrolling in the sandbox does not behave like it does in my electron app (sigh). With electron - the text in the right drawer also scrolls along with the central content…

@mboeni it’s not odd really, the docs does the same. anyway you can use https://quasar.dev/vue-components/scroll-area#Introduction. https://38pvj.sse.codesandbox.io/ivechat, just do something with the css height etc… to get where you want it.

@metalsadman Yep, QScrollArea did the trick. Thanks for your help!
