Live Demo and Full Documentation

<container>   <grid vertical="middle" :rwd="{compact: 'stack'}">     <grid-item size="1/6" :rwd="{compact: '0/1'}">       ...     </grid-item>      <grid-item size="3/6" :rwd="{compact: '1/1'}">       ...     </grid-item>      <grid-item size="2/6" :rwd="{compact: '1/1'}">       ...     </grid-item>   </grid> </container>

Installation

Install the package using yarn or npm:

$ yarn add vue-fraction-grid  # or  $ npm install --save vue-fraction-grid

Global

Load the plugin by calling Vue.use():

import Vue from "vue"; import VueFractionGrid from "vue-fraction-grid";  Vue.use(VueFractionGrid);

Now you have access in your templates to <container>, <grid> and <grid-item> components.

Local

You may prefer to explicitly import the components in your templates:

<template>   <container>     <grid>       <grid-item size="1/2">         ...       </grid-item>       <grid-item size="1/2">         ...       </grid-item>     </grid>   </container> </template>  <script> import Container from "vue-fraction-grid/components/Container"; import Grid from "vue-fraction-grid/components/Grid"; import GridItem from "vue-fraction-grid/components/GridItem";  export default {   components: {     Container,     Grid,     GridItem   } }; </script>

CDN

Load the script file from CDN:

<div id="root"></div> <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.2.1/vue.min.js"></script> <script src="//unpkg.com/vue-fraction-grid"></script> <script>   new Vue({     el: "#root",     template: "<container>...</container>"   }); </script>

Settings

Vue.use(VueFractionGrid, {   container: "1020px",   gutter: "24px",   approach: "mobile-first",   breakpoints: {     compact: "320px 414px"   } });

Configure grid by passing options as a second argument of Vue.use(). Configuration is merged to defaults that are listed above.

Available settings:

container   - Default containers width. Works with any valid CSS values like: '1440px',               '52em', '100vw' etc. Set it to '100%' to use full-width fluid grid. Because               this is the maximum value, the grid will scale nicely for smaller viewports. gutter      - Gutter width. Works with any valid CSS values like '30px', '1rem' etc. approach    - 'mobile-first' or 'desktop-first'. Choose which approach of responsive web design               do you prefer. Breakpoint rules are based on this option. breakpoints - List the grid breakpoints. Key is the breakpoint name for `:rwd` prop.               Value is the size and can include one or two CSS values separated               with a space. 

Components

Container

Syntax:

<container [width="<length>|<percentage>" ]></container>

Center content of the site in the container:

<container>   ... </container>

Override container's maximum width with width prop. This is useful when you need more than one container's type e.g. regular and full-width.

<container width="100%">   ... </container>

<container width="25vw">   ... </container>

Grid

Syntax:

<grid   [horizontal="left|center|right"   vertical="top|middle|bottom"   direction="reverse|stack|stack-reverse"   wrap="nowrap|wrap|wrap-reverse"   :rwd="{ breakpointName: direction }"   flat   pair] ></grid>

The most common usage and simple example of the grid:

<grid>   <grid-item size="1/3">     ...   </grid-item>    <grid-item size="2/3">     ...   </grid-item> </grid>

Nest grids however you like, the gutter is always the same. There is no need to wrap nested grids with containers.

<grid>   <grid-item size="2/3">     <grid>       <grid-item size="1/2">         ...       </grid-item>        <grid-item size="1/2">         ...       </grid-item>     </grid>   </grid-item>    <grid-item size="1/3">     ...   </grid-item> </grid>

Horizontal alignment of grid items. This works simillar to justify-content attribute.

<grid horizontal="left">   ... </grid>

<grid horizontal="center">   ... </grid>

<grid horizontal="right">   ... </grid>

<grid horizontal="around">   ... </grid>

<grid horizontal="between">   ... </grid>

Vertical alignment of grid items. This works simillar to align-items attribute.

<grid vertical="top">   ... </grid>

<grid vertical="middle">   ... </grid>

<grid vertical="bottom">   ... </grid>

Remove gutter from grid items.

<grid flat>   ... </grid>

Align content of the first item to the left and content of the second item to the right.

<grid pair>   ... </grid>

Set the grid items direction. This works simillar to flex-direction attribute.

<grid direction="reverse">   ... </grid>

<grid direction="stack">   ... </grid>

<grid direction="stack-reverse">   ... </grid>

Set the grid items wrap. This works simillar to flex-wrap attribute.

<grid wrap="wrap">   ... </grid>

<grid wrap="wrap-reverse">   ... </grid>

Mix props however you want to.

<grid horizontal="right" vertical="bottom" direction="reverse" pair>   ... </grid>

Grid Item

Syntax:

<grid-item   size="<number>/<number>"   |grow="<number>"   |shrink="<number>"   [:rwd="{ breakpointName: size }"   ] ></grid-item>

Use any size written in the fraction format. Grid item should be nested directly in the grid. Items fractions don't have to sum to 1. Denominator can't be equal 0!

<grid-item size="123/456">   ... </grid-item>

Fill the grid with a grid item by setting its size to 1/1:

<grid-item size="1/1">   ... </grid-item>

Hide the grid item by setting its size to 0/1:

<grid-item size="0/1">   ... </grid-item>

Use grow and shrink props instead of size. They work simillar to flex-grow and flex-shrink attributes. Never mix size, grow and shrink into a single item!

<grid-item grow="2">   ... </grid-item>

<grid-item shrink="0.5">   ... </grid-item>

Responsive Design

Responsive design is based on two options from settings: approach and breakpoints.

If you set approach to mobile-first breakpoints with a single value will respond to media queries using min-width attribute. If you use desktop-first instead, breakpoints will respond to max-width.

Breakpoints with two values respond to (min-width: <length>) and (max-width: <length>) query.

Following configuration:

Vue.use(VueFractionGrid, {   approach: "desktop-first",   breakpoints: {     compact: "415px",     tablet: "416px 1100px"   } });

Is translated to this declaration from CSS:

@media (max-width: 415px) {   ...; } /* compact */ @media (min-width: 416px) and (max-width: 1100px) {   ...; } /* tablet */

API

Change the direction of a grid for specific breakpoints.

<grid :rwd="{compact: 'reverse'}">   ... </grid>

<grid direction="stack" :rwd="{compact: 'stack-reverse'}">   ... </grid>

Change size of a grid item for specific breakpoints.

<grid-item size="3/4" :rwd="{compact: '0/1'}">   ... </grid-item>

Mix responsive design props for grid and items.

<grid :rwd="{compact: 'stack'}">   <grid-item size="1/6" :rwd="{tablet: '0/1', compact: '1/1'}">     ...   </grid-item>   <grid-item size="1/2" :rwd="{tablet: '1/2', compact: '0/1'}">     ...   </grid-item>   <grid-item size="1/3" :rwd="{tablet: '1/2', compact: '1/1'}">     ...   </grid-item> </grid>
