Issue
I've stuck at the problem with this
.autoHeightParent {
width: 500px; /* just for example */
position: relative;
}
.absolutePosChild {
/* absolute is required to make pretty drag and drop transitions with interpolating left property */
position: absolute;
display:flex;
flex-direction: column;
border: 1px solid green;
}
.absolutePosChild div {
width: 100%;
}
<div class="autoHeightParent" style="height:170px;">
<div class="absolutePosChild" style="left: 0px; width: 100px;">
<div>
Child content
</div>
</div>
<div class="absolutePosChild" style="left: 100px; width: 150px;">
<div>
Child content with nesting
</div>
<!-- !! NESTING -->
<div class="autoHeightParent">
<div class="absolutePosChild" style="left: 0px; width: 50px;">
<div>
We don't know this height too
</div>
</div>
<div class="absolutePosChild" style="left: 50px; width: 100px;">
<div>
G.Child 2
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="border: 1px solid red">
I need to automatcally calculate height of the box above to make THIS box right after it. For now you can see hardcoded 170px height.
</div>
How do you guys solve problems like this?
I have tried to solve it with JavaScript but my solution looks wrong.
function setRootHeight() {
var root = document.getElementById("root");
var allChilds = root.getElementsByTagName("*");
var rootRect = root.getBoundingClientRect();
var maxChildHeight = 0;
_.each(allChilds, function(item) {
var nodeRect = item.getBoundingClientRect();
var nodeHeightRelativeToRoot = ( nodeRect.top + nodeRect.height ) - rootRect.top;
if ( nodeHeightRelativeToRoot > maxChildHeight) maxChildHeight = nodeHeightRelativeToRoot;
});
root.style.height = maxChildHeight + "px";
}
setInterval(setRootHeight, 300);
.autoHeightParent {
width: 500px; /* just for example */
position: relative;
}
.absolutePosChild {
/* absolute is required to make pretty drag and drop transitions with interpolating left property */
position: absolute;
display:flex;
flex-direction: column;
border: 1px solid green;
}
.absolutePosChild div {
width: 100%;
}

Visualization of that height was calculated
</div>
It uses setInteval to check if any of nested children changed it's height and then recalculate height of the parent box. Actually i need to find better solution because of performance and code beauty.
Snippets very simplified compared to real recalculations.
I am free to use flexbox or any tool that can solve this
Solution
I've solved this issue with relative positioning.
For my complex "absolute position" animations i made function that translates absolute to relative.
.autoHeightParent {
width: 500px; /* just for example */
position: relative;
display: flex;
}
.absolutePosChild {
/* relative position here must do absolutes' job here */
position: relative;
display:flex;
flex-direction: column;
border: 1px solid green;
}
.absolutePosChild div {
width: 100%;
}

You see that parent box automatically resizes fine. But now i can use translate3d to any child and parent box keeps it's size and position.
