Grid github location npm version

As we cannot guarantee the Blocks within the a Micro Grid and make use of the child combinator > and the universal selector * to target them.

Usage

A Simple Grid is written to go from single column, to two column, to their respective column count depending on the size of the viewport.

You can define the number of columns with a modifier class.

Do Not Use with any component that uses the <table> HTML element as this breaks built-in browser accessibility for screen readers etc.

Currently (16/03/20) The vf-grid is expecting to be a parent of vf-body. It does, however, work inside embl-grid now as we have added CSS to make it respect the boundaries so that it doesn't break.

Nunjucks syntax

Depending on your environment you'll want to use render or include. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include, precompiled browser use render. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include.

Using include

You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include is an abstraction of render and provides some additional portability.


{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = {
  "component-type": "layout"
}
 %}
{% include "../path_to/vf-grid/vf-grid.njk" %}

Using render

This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include is not be available.

{% render '@vf-grid', {
  "component-type": "layout"
} %}
HTML 
<div class="vf-grid">
