Feature request: add option to hide thumbnail/sidebar

[xiaohanyu]

Hello,

As title, this is a follow up issue after #6. So could we add an option to completely disable/hide the thumbnail or the whole sidebar (if sidebar is going to add more functionalities in the future).

Thanks.

@xiaohanyu,

Thanks for the suggestion!

We already support hiding the thumbnail panel via the thumbnailTool prop. You can check it out here in the docs: https://docs.react-pdf.dev/components/rp-default-layout/#thumbnailtool

As for hiding the entire sidebar, that’s something on our roadmap. I’ll keep you updated once it’s available.

Yes I know react-pdf can hide any icons in toolbar/sidebar, and I guess it can also hide the entire sidebar by using some CSS tricks, however I think this way is not that elegant, so probably it is better to add some kind API/toggle to hide the sidebar so other parts can layout accordingly based on the toggle.

For my use cases, I am working on a resume builder, which mostly produces PDF with only 1 or 2 pages, it doesn't make any sense to give users a sidebar just to show thumbnails or table of contents (in the future). Of course, sidebar with thumbnails/table of contents do make sense for long PDFs like books.

Hi @xiaohanyu, just want to update you that we've added sidebarEnable to show/hide the sidebar easily in the new version. Hope this makes it more convenient for your use case.
