Description

Grid.Item is a building block for CSS grid based layout of contents and components. Should be used in combination with Grid.Container.

The columns do change based on what breakpoint the browser is in:

  • 4 columns when small
  • 6 columns when medium
  • 12 columns when large

Span

You need to provide a span property with a number from 1 to 12 (can be changed in Grid.Container with the columns property).

The span will be used to specify where the item is placed in the grid columns.

A span needs always two numbers – from and to.

Code Editor
<Grid.Container>
  <Grid.Item span={[1, 6]}>uses 50% in width</Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item span={[7, 12]}>uses 50% in width</Grid.Item>
</Grid.Container>

Example of spans:

  • span={[1, 'end']}
  • span={{ small: [1, 4], medium: [1, 6], large: [1, 12]}}

Responsive spans

You can also make spans respond to media queries.

For doing so, provide a span property with an object containing Media Query types. Each media size should contain a span, like mentioned above.

  <Grid.Item
    span={{

      large: [1, 6],
    }}
  >
    uses 50% or 100% based on the screen size
  </Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item
    span={{
      small: [1, 12],
      large: [7, 12],
    }}
  >
    uses 50% or 100% based on the screen size
  </Grid.Item>
</Grid.Container>

Tab order horizontal

In this example, the order changes, so does the tab (key) order.

Code Editor
<Grid.Container rowGap columnGap columns={12}>
  <Grid.Item span={[1, 6]}>
    <Item>Left top</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item span={[7, 12]}>
    <Item>Right top</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item span={[1, 6]}>
    <Item>Left bottom</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item span={[7, 12]}>
    <Item>Right bottom</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
</Grid.Container>

Tab order vertical

In this example, the order changes, so does the tab (key) order.

Code Editor
<Grid.Container rowGap columnGap columns={12}>
  <Grid.Item span={[1, 6]}>
    <Item>Left top</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item span={[1, 6]}>
    <Item>Left bottom</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item span={[7, 12]}>
    <Item>Right top</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
  <Grid.Item span={[7, 12]}>
    <Item>Right bottom</Item>
  </Grid.Item>
</Grid.Container>
