styled-bootstrap-grid

Credits

This module is based on the styled-components module.

This module is highly inspired by the awesome work done on the react-bootstrap module.

This module is also based on the Twitter Bootstrap v4.1.3 bootstrap-grid.css. The css provided to styled bootstrap grid is not mine.

For more information about how does this grid system works (I mean with classes like containers, row, col, offset, push) , please refer to the official Twitter Bootstrap layout documentation.

Install

npm i -S styled-bootstrap-grid

Prerequisites

npm i -S react styled-components

Bootstrap is developed mobile first, a strategy in which we optimize code for mobile devices first and then scale up components as necessary using CSS media queries. To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming for all devices, add the responsive viewport meta tag to your <head>. from Bootstrap documentation

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

You also must inject the bootstrap base CSS in your application root file, like this.

// app.js

import { BaseCSS } from 'styled-bootstrap-grid';

export default (props) =>
  <Whatever>
    <BaseCSS />
  </Whatever>;

You also can inject your own css like this :

import { BaseCSS } from 'styled-bootstrap-grid';

const customCSS = `
  body {
    color: red;
  }
`;

export default (props) =>
  <Whatever>
    <BaseCSS css={customCSS} />
  </Whatever>;

Basically, BaseCSS takes a string prop, and append the default bootstrap layout base CSS with this string.

the default bootstrap layout CSS is :

html {
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
          box-sizing: border-box;
  -ms-overflow-style: scrollbar;
}

*,
*::before,
*::after {
  -webkit-box-sizing: inherit;
          box-sizing: inherit;
}

Basics

import React from 'react';
import { Container, Row, Col } from 'styled-bootstrap-grid';

export default (props) =>
  <Whatever>
    <Container>
      <Row>
        <Col col xl="1" lg="2" md="3" sm="6">
            Hello Bootstrap Layout
        </Col>
      </Row>
    </Container>
    <Container fluid>
      <Row>
        <Col col={6} sm={5} md={4} mdOffset={4}>
            Hello Bootstrap Fluid Layout
        </Col>
      </Row>
    </Container>
  </Whatever>;

Advanced

Custom gutter

The package exposes a GridThemeProvider that allows few custom theming properties. With this provider you can :

Define custom breakpoints
Change the Container padding left and right default value
Change the Row padding left and right default value
Change the Col padding left and right default value

The GridThemeProvider can be wrapped (or wrapped-in) the styled-component's ThemeProvider.

Example :

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { GridThemeProvider } from 'styled-bootstrap-grid';
import { ThemeProvider } from 'styled-components';

import App from './whatever/app/folder';

const gridTheme = {
  gridColumns: 24, // default 12
  breakpoints: { // defaults below
    xxl: 1440,
    xl: 1200,
    lg: 992,
    md: 768,
    sm: 576,
    xs: 575,
    // or you can use aliases
    // veryGiant: 1440,
    // giant: 1200,
    // desktop: 992,
    // tablet: 768,
    // phone: 576,
    // smaller: 575,
  },
  row: {
    padding: 10, // default 15
  },
  col: {
    padding: 5, // default 15
  },
  container: {
    padding: 0, // default 15
    maxWidth: { // defaults below
      xxl: 1141,
      xl: 1140,
      lg: 960,
      md: 720,
      sm: 540,
      xs: 540,
      // or you can use aliases
      // veryGiant: 1141,
      // giant: 1140,
      // desktop: 960,
      // tablet: 720,
      // phone: 540,
      // smaller: 540,
    },
  },
};
const styledTheme = {
  mainColor: 'purple',
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <ThemeProvider
    theme={styledTheme}
  >
    <GridThemeProvider
      gridTheme={gridTheme}
    >
      <App />
    </GridThemeProvider>
  </ThemeProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

MediaTypes

This packages also exposes the media element. It can be used in your styled-components like this :

import styled from 'styled-components';
import { media } from 'styled-bootstrap-grid';

const CustomDiv = styled.div`
  color: black;
  ${media.smaller`
    color: green;
  `}
  ${media.xs`
    color: green;
  `}
  ${media.phone`
    color: blue;
  `}
  ${media.sm`
    color: blue;
  `}
  ${media.tablet`
    color: red;
  `}
  ${media.md`
    color: red;
  `}
  ${media.desktop`
    color: purple;
  `}
  ${media.lg`
    color: purple;
  `}
  ${media.giant`
    color: yellow;
  `}
  ${media.xl`
    color: yellow;
  `}
  ${media.veryGiant`
    color: orange;
  `}
  ${media.xxl`
    color: orange;
  `}
`;

export default CustomDiv;

Using this media object will help you to build media-queries that will fit the same way as Bootstrap do.

name	aliases	css generated
xs	smaller	all sizes: `@media (max-width: 575px) { /* */ }`
sm	phone	`@media (min-width: 576px) { /* */ }`
md	tablet	`@media (min-width: 768px) { /* */ }`
lg	desktop	`@media (min-width: 992px) { /* */ }`
xl	giant	`@media (min-width: 1200px) { /* */ }`
xxl	veryGiant	`@media (min-width: 1440px) { /* */ }`
