Grid

A flexbox based grid system component.

Documentation

Installation

npm install @vrembem/grid

Styles

@use "@vrembem/grid";

Markup

The most basic implementation of the grid component consists of two elements. By default, grid__item's split the available space within the grid parent evenly:

• grid
• grid__item

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Grid is a flex based layout component. That means you can use the @vremben/utility package—specifically flex and span modules—to further customize your layout.

grid__clear

The clear element allows you to start a new row at any point in a column set.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__clear"></div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Modifiers

grid_auto

Gives grid items a basis of auto so their content dictates their width.

<div class="grid grid_auto">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Set an individual grid item to auto using grid__item_auto element modifier.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item grid__item_auto">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

grid_fill

The fill modifier stretches grid item’s contents to fill the height of it’s container.

<div class="grid grid_fill">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Set an individual grid item to fill using the grid__item_fill element modifier.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item grid__item_fill">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

grid_gap_[key]

Modifiers that adjust the gutter spacing between grid__item elements. Gap key output is based on the values in $gap-map variable map.

<div class="grid grid_gap_sm">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Available Variations

• grid_gap_none
• grid_gap_xs
• grid_gap_sm
• grid_gap_md
• grid_gap_lg
• grid_gap_xl

grid_gap-x_[key]

Adjusts the horizontal gap spacing based on the provided key. Gap key output is based on the values in $gap-map variable map.

<div class="grid grid_gap-x_xs">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Available Variations

• grid_gap-x_none
• grid_gap-x_xs
• grid_gap-x_sm
• grid_gap-x_md
• grid_gap-x_lg
• grid_gap-x_xl

grid_gap-y_[key]

Adjusts the vertical gap spacing based on the provided key. Gap key output is based on the values in $gap-map variable map.

<div class="grid grid_gap-y_xl">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Available Variations

• grid_gap-y_none
• grid_gap-y_xs
• grid_gap-y_sm
• grid_gap-y_md
• grid_gap-y_lg
• grid_gap-y_xl

grid_stack_[key]

Adds a breakpoint for when grid items should be stacked vertically. Values and class keys are generated using the $breakpoints map. Omitting the key value from the modifier (e.g. grid_stack) will stack items under all conditions.

<div class="grid grid_stack_md">
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

Available Variations

• grid_stack
• grid_stack_xs
• grid_stack_sm
• grid_stack_md
• grid_stack_lg
• grid_stack_xl

span

Set the flex-basis, width and max-width on an element using the span module. Span column widths are built from the $span-columns variable. Breakpoint keys are built from the $breakpoints variable map. These are the available variants:

• span-[col]-[key] - Sets the number of columns an element should span with an optional breakpoint condition.
• span-auto-[key] - Sets an elements width to auto with an optional breakpoint condition.
• span-full-[key] - Sets an elements width to 100% with an optional breakpoint condition.

Variable	Default	Description
$output-span	true	Toggles the output of this module.
$class-span	"span"	String to use for the class name of the span module.
$prefix-span	null	String to prefix the span module with.
$span-columns	12	The columns value to use when building span variants.

span-[col]-[key]

Sets the number of columns an element should span with an optional breakpoint condition. The total number of columns is set in the $span-columns variable. Breakpoint keys are built from the $breakpoints variable map.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item span-6">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item span-6">...</div>
  <div class="grid__break"></div>
  <div class="grid__item span-6">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item span-3">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item span-3">...</div>
</div>

Here's an example of using the optional breakpoint variants. Breakpoints variants should be added with a mobile-first approach.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item span-12 span-6-xs span-8-sm span-4-md span-3-lg">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item span-12 span-6-xs span-4-sm span-4-md span-3-lg">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item span-12 span-6-xs span-4-sm span-4-md span-3-lg">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item span-12 span-6-xs span-8-sm span-12-md span-3-lg">...</div>
</div>

span-auto-[key]

Sets an elements width to auto with an optional breakpoint condition.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item span-auto">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>

span-full-[key]

Sets an elements width to 100% with an optional breakpoint condition.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid__item span-full">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
  <div class="grid__item">...</div>
</div>
