📚 Description

Adds a Splitter component for resizable panels, wrapping Reka UI's SplitterGroup, SplitterPanel and SplitterResizeHandle.

It follows the same items based API as Accordion and Stepper: each entry renders a panel and a draggable handle is inserted between them, with per panel content provided through dynamic slots. Items extend Reka's SplitterPanelProps so panels support defaultSize, minSize, maxSize (percentage or pixel through sizeUnit) and collapsible with collapsedSize, consistent with DashboardSidebar and DashboardPanel.

The handle is invisible by default and acts as a gap between panels, with an orientation theme variant and a documented ui recipe for a visible divider. Handles can be locked with disabled and their hit area tuned with hitAreaMargins.

The panel slot exposes collapsed, collapse, expand and resize for programmatic control, the component emits layout, collapse, expand, resize and dragging with the panel index, and panels are reachable from outside through the exposed panelsRef. Orientation is set through orientation (mapped to Reka's direction), layout can be persisted with auto-save-id, and two dimensional layouts are achieved by nesting a Splitter inside a panel.

The PR includes the theme, a documentation page with examples, a playground page, and snapshot plus accessibility tests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added the USplitter component with typed panel configuration, resizing, collapsing, persistence, keyboard support, events, slots, and theme integration. Added public type and theme exports with component tests. Added documentation and examples for standard, nested, collapsible, and custom-handle layouts. Added a Nuxt playground page and navigation entry. Updated component reference and selection guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 78f53

The new Splitter API can leave stale entries in panelsRef after panels are removed, so consumers may receive null panel references; the change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for this bounded correctness issue.

Consider moving the USplitter row to the "Layout containers" matrix.

USplitter arranges resizable regions. It does not switch views or routes, so it differs from the other rows in the Navigation matrix. The "Layout containers" matrix at lines 107-117 fits the intent better and keeps the selection guidance predictable.

Add a behavioral assertion for autoSaveId.

This case only renders Splitter and snapshots its markup. It does not verify that the layout is saved to or restored from localStorage. Add a test that changes a panel size, remounts with the same autoSaveId, and asserts that the saved layout is restored.

- Around line 15-21: Update the UButton in SplitterCollapsibleExample so its
icon-only collapsed state has an accessible aria-label describing the expand
action, while preserving the existing label and behavior when expanded.

In `@src/runtime/components/Splitter.vue`:
- Around line 96-105: Update the Splitter panel-ref management around
setPanelRef so panelsRef.value is trimmed to the current items count whenever
items shrinks, preventing stale null entries and an incorrect exposed array
length; preserve indexed ref assignment and the defineExpose contract.
