Introduction

Inline edit is a utilitarian component that has two core elements, .pf-c-inline-edit__value and .pf-c-inline-edit__input and is based on a simple concept. When value is visible, input is hidden, and vice versa.

Generic groups

.pf-c-inline-edit__groups provide basic layout support and have several available modifiers (.pf-m-action-group, .pf-m-icon-group).

Actions

Actions (.pf-c-inline-edit__action) are hidden by default and exposed when a region of .pf-c-inline-edit becomes active. The default visibility of an action or action group can be inversed by adding .pf-m-enable-editable. .pf-m-enable-editable flags an element or group of elements as the controlling agents for enabling editable content and therefore is visible by default and hidden when inline editing is enabled.

Examples

Inline edit toggle can be placed anywhere within .pf-c-inline-edit. It initiates the editability of elements. When an element becomes editable, toggle is hidden.

Inline edit toggle

Inline edit value can be placed anywhere within .pf-c-inline-edit. It is visible by default and hidden when inline edit becomes editable.
