Grid

Use Grid to build multiple column layouts. This Grid works on twelve column system, and it contains variants of 12, 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 column for each breakpoint.

Custom layout

                                                
                                                <Grid cols={{ mobile: 2, tablet: 3, desktop: 4 }}>
                                                  <span>col 1</span>
                                                  <span>col 2</span>
                                                  <span>col 3</span>
                                                  <span>col 4</span>
                                                  <span>col 5</span>
                                                  <span>col 6</span>
                                                </Grid>

Custom Spacing

You can use the spacing prop to apply custom spacing between items in both horizontal and vertical directions. The prop accepts either a spacing token (e.g. space-100) or an object with breakpoint keys and spacing token values.

You can set custom spacing in the horizontal (x-axis) and vertical (y-axis) direction separately using the spacingX and spacingY props.

Custom spacing:

                                                
                                                <Grid spacing="space-1200">
                                                  <!-- Grid content -->
                                                </Grid>

Custom responsive spacing:

                                                
                                                <Grid spacing={{ mobile: 'space-400', tablet: 'space-800' }}>
                                                  <!-- Grid content -->
                                                </Grid>

Custom horizontal (x-axis) spacing:

                                                
                                                <Grid spacingX={{ mobile: 'space-400', tablet: 'space-800' }}>
                                                  <!-- Grid content -->
                                                </Grid>

Custom vertical (y-axis) spacing:

                                                
                                                <Grid spacingY={{ mobile: 'space-400', tablet: 'space-800' }}>
                                                  <!-- Grid content -->
                                                </Grid>

Item Alignment

The alignmentX and alignmentY props are used to control the alignment of items within the Grid container. The available values for these properties can be found in our alignment dictionary.

alignmentX: Manages horizontal alignment, allowing you to position items to the left, center, or right of the container. It can also be configured with responsive values for different breakpoints. alignmentY: Manages vertical alignment, enabling you to position items at the top, center, or bottom of the container. It supports responsive values for various breakpoints as well.

Both props can be set using either fixed values or objects with breakpoint-specific settings to ensure the alignment adapts across different screen sizes.

Horizontal alignment:

                                                
                                                <Grid alignmentX="left">
                                                  <!-- Grid content -->
                                                </Grid>

Horizontal and vertical alignment:

                                                
                                                <Grid alignmentX="left" alignmentY="top">
                                                  <!-- Grid content -->
                                                </Grid>

Responsive horizontal and vertical alignment:

                                                
                                                <Grid
                                                  alignmentX={{ mobile: 'left', tablet: 'center', desktop: 'right' }}
                                                  alignmentY={{ mobile: 'top', tablet: 'center', desktop: 'bottom' }}
                                                >
                                                  <!-- Grid content -->
                                                </Grid>

👉 Please note that the stretch option may have undesired impact on elements with a defined size or aspect ratio. The dimensions (or the ratio) will not be respected by Grid and the element will be stretched just like any other item.

API

On top of the API options, the components accept additional attributes. If you need more control over the styling of a component, you can use style props and escape hatches.

For detailed information see Grid component.

GridItem

Grid Item is a wrapper for Grid items. It allows you to configure your Grid structure as you wish. Use props to set a column and rows where the Grid Item should start or end. Numeric values are used as a coordinates in the grid.

If you want to set how to item should span over columns or rows, set the value as span X where X is the number of columns or rows the item should span, like this columnStart="span 2" or rowEnd="span 3". Span could be used with responsive props as well and for both start and end. To understand how to use span read one of many articles about CSS Grid, eg. CSS Grid Layout: The Span Keyword.

If you need to set a layout with repetitive columns, you can set this on the Grid component itself using the cols prop and might not need to set columns on the items. Eg. article listing with 3 columns is easier to set using cols="3" on the Grid component than setting columnStart and columnEnd on each GridItem.

Grid Placement Props: columnStart, columnEnd, rowStart, rowEnd

These props control the placement of grid items within a CSS Grid layout by specifying where the item starts and ends in rows and columns:

• columnStart: Specifies the vertical grid line where the item begins.
• columnEnd: Specifies the vertical grid line where the item ends. The item spans up to, but does not include, this grid line. For example, if columnEnd is "3", the item ends at the line before the third column.
• rowStart: Specifies the horizontal grid line where the item begins.
• rowEnd: Specifies the horizontal grid line where the item ends. The item spans up to, but does not include, this grid line. For example, if rowEnd is "4", the item ends at the line before the fourth row.

Grid Placement Example

                                                
                                                <GridItem
                                                  columnStart={2}
                                                  columnEnd={5} // or columnEnd="span 3"
                                                  rowStart={1}
                                                  rowEnd={3} // or rowEnd="span 2"
                                                >
                                                  …
                                                </GridItem>

These props align with their respective CSS Grid properties, providing precise control over grid item placement. Learn more in the MDN CSS Grid documentation.

Basic example usage:

                                                
                                                <Grid>
                                                  <GridItem columnStart={1} columnEnd={4}>
                                                    1–4
                                                  </GridItem>
                                                  <GridItem columnStart={5} columnEnd={9}>
                                                    5–9
                                                  </GridItem>
                                                  <GridItem columnStart={10} columnEnd="span 2" rowStart={2}>
                                                    10–12
                                                  </GridItem>
                                                </Grid>

Responsive Example Usage

Pass an object to props to set different values for different breakpoints. The values will be applied from mobile to desktop and if not set for a breakpoint, the value from the previous breakpoint will be used.

                                                
                                                <Grid elementType="ul">
                                                  <GridItem elementType="li" columnStart={1} columnEnd={4}>
                                                    1–4
                                                  </GridItem>
                                                  <GridItem elementType="li" columnStart={5} columnEnd={{ mobile: 8, tablet: 9 }}>
                                                    5–9 (5–8 on mobile)
                                                  </GridItem>
                                                  <GridItem elementType="li" columnStart={{ mobile: 9, tablet: 10 }} columnEnd={{ mobile: 'span 3', tablet: 'span 2' }}>
                                                    10–12 (9–12 on mobile)
                                                  </GridItem>
                                                </Grid>
