Expression
Use the EuiExpression component to surface expressions. It requires both a
description
(left side) and value
(right side). Optionally, you can pass it an onClick
function that will convert it to a button and add some additional styling to indicate that it is clickable.Colors
You can pass a color
prop but it will only color the description
.
Stringing a bunch together
If the expression is more than one description and value, you can string multiple expressions together and they should inline together and wrap at logical points.
Column display
There might be cases where displaying multiple EuiExpressions in a paragraph is not ideal. For example, when both the description
and the value
are variable or when their text is quite long. To use a column display instead, pass display="columns"
.
In column display, each expression is its own line and the description
column is aligned to the right. The default width for the description
is 20%, but you can customize this with thedescriptionWidth
prop. When displaying a group of EuiExpressions, make sure to set the same width for all descriptions.
Invalid state
Set isInvalid
to true to display EuiExpression's error state. This state will override the color
prop with danger.
Truncate text
To truncate EuiExpression's content, pass textWrap="truncate"
. Text truncation only works properly if the prop types of description
and value
are strings. If you're using nodes, use the .eui-textTruncate
utility class on all their sub-children.
