Pronunciation
[muhl-ti-puhl nes-ting]
Analogy
Like Russian nesting dolls, where opening one reveals another smaller one inside, representing deeper levels of information.
Definition
A UI/UX pattern where hierarchical data or workflows are represented as nested menus or panels, allowing users to drill down into details while maintaining context.
Key Points Intro
Multiple nesting organizes complex data hierarchies in interfaces.
Key Points
Hierarchy: Represents parent-child relationships visually.
Breadcrumbs: Shows navigation path for context.
Lazy loading: Fetches deeper data on demand.
Collapsibility: Users expand or collapse sections as needed.
Example
Technical Deep Dive
Implement with recursive React components that render children when expanded. Manage state with context or Redux to track open nodes. Use virtualization for performance on large trees.
Caveat
Deep nesting can overwhelm users; limit depth or provide search shortcuts.
