Grid

Setup

1. Customizing the global column count

Set the site/column-count variable to match the main column count of your design. Most designs use the existing 12 column value. Other designs could be created on a 10 column grid or even 24 column grid. Nearly all of the grid utilities in Lumos and even the grid guides will use the column count we define here.

2. Adjust the site/gutter variable

The site/gutter variable is used as the default gap on all grid utilities.

Grid Utilities

u-grid-autofit & u-grid-autofill

u-grid-autofit

Will stretch and fit the cards into any extra space

u-grid-autofill

Will fill in the grid with empty space when there's less cards (ideal for lists that will be filtered)

Column Count (mode)

Sets the max number of columns the grid can be

Gap (mode)

Sets the horizontal and vertical gap (allows the max column count to work correctly)

To override the vertical gap separately, use the style panel or a utility if needed.

Minimum Column Width

Set the minimum width the columns should be before wrapping under custom properties.

u-grid-above

This is a 12 column grid above our breakpoint and switches to a vertical flexbox below our breakpoint. Customize the column count as need for each instance.

The container-name sets the point at which the layout should wrap. Use values of threshold-small, threshold-medium, or threshold-large

u-grid-below

This is a 12 column grid below our breakpoint and switches to a vertical flexbox above our breakpoint. Customize the column count as need for each instance.

u-grid-custom

This is a 12 column grid by default, but it can be overridden to any column count we'd like. We can reduce the column count across different container sizes like this.

<style>
@container (width < 40em) {
	.blog_cms_list { --_column-count---value: 2 !important; }
}
@container (width < 20em) {
	.blog_cms_list { --_column-count---value: 1 !important; }
}
</style>

u-grid-breakout

This utility is used when elements need to break out of our container and go to the edge of the screen. An extra column is added to the beginning and end of the grid. Those two outer columns expand to fill the width of the screen. When using this class, ensure it's not inside a .u-container element.

When using this class, we can apply these custom properties to columns to change where they start and end.

• grid-column-start: full; starts on the left of the screen

• grid-column-start: content; starts inside the container

• grid-column-end: full; ends on the right of the screen

• grid-column-end: content; ends inside the right of the container

u-grid-subgrid

This utility is used for creating a subgrid inside a parent grid. If this element spans over 8 of the parent's columns, then this element will automatically be an 8 column grid.

Column Utilities

u-column-custom

Starts in its auto position and spans 1 column by default

Useful for setting a custom start & end point across breakpoints

u-column-full

Fills all the columns of its parent grid

grid-column-start: 1;
grid-column-end: -1;

u-column-indent

Fills all but the first & last columns of its parent grid

grid-column-start: 2;
grid-column-end: -2;

u-column-1 through u-column-12

Starts in the auto position. Spans the relevant column count.

Order Utilities

u-order-first

Moves item to start of list

u-order-last

Moves item to the end of the list
