On this breakpoint, we will add our switch of the layout so we need to ensure that the breakpoint is active. So let’s move the slider to a position where we feel the stack needs to happen and add a breakpoint there (if we don’t have it already). For this situation we want both sections to stack instead of sit next to each other. When we move the slider to see how it looks on smaller devices, we see that the space for the “article-1” and “article-2” is too small. In real life, we will add our navigation on the “header”, some links on the “footer”, and the proper content on each of the “article-1” and “article-2”. For this example, we will just add some headings to identify each section. Now we are ready to add some content to the grid areas. Then for the middle row, we will apply also a Height of MinMax and we will enter this time “50vh” on the Min field and keep “auto” for the Max. This way those rows will take at least the 25% height of the canvas and, since we set “auto” for the Max, in case it needs to grow it will automatically. We will apply to the first and last rows a Height of MinMax and we will enter a “25vh” on the Min field and keep “auto” for the Max. The panel beneath the grid builder will change, presenting the appropriate Selection Settings. Simply click on the header on the side where the text “auto” appears. Now let’s change the size of the rows to have a bigger content for the two areas in the middle of the grid.įor doing so we need to configure row (or column if we want to) settings. The dot is only left in the cell when you want to leave that cell empty. Note: When entering the cell name, be sure to remove the dot “.” from the name. You can enter the name directly in the cell or in the corresponding control area under the Selection Settings Cell Name box. For doing so, just click on a cell to open up the text input box (oval). Now we have the base structure ready, let’s assign the grid area names we configured before in this structure. Grid columns and rows - grid tracks - are added using the respective + buttons. With the Grid Editor launched, you can now begin creating your grid layout. Click on the Launch Grid Editor button to open the Grid control panel. Select the parent Container element on the canvas and go to the Styles pane > Layout > Display > Grid. We are going to use these names for the example: “header”, “article-1”, “article-2”, and “footer”. In the Name box, delete the placeholder ‘elementArea’ and enter the element name you will use on the Grid Settings in the next step. Then in the Grid subsection > Grid control, use the drop-down box to select Grid Area Based Placement. For doing this you will need to go to the Styles pane > Layout > Grid and Flexbox Layout section for each element. We will give all the children containers a name for the grid area they will be placed on. Configuring the Grid Area Based Names for the children containers Also, remember to add a meaningful class name to each container.Ģ. We will also apply to each of them a different color. Then, we can drag inside the containers that will become children of this parent. This way the parent container will take at least 100% of the height of the canvas. We will be using a parent container with a min-height of 100vh (“vh” is a CSS unit which stands for viewport height). Configuring the parent and children containersįirst, we are going to prepare the base structure for our layout. Let’s do an example to understand the concepts for the CSS Grid.ġ. Notice that you can attach the controls in the panel or as a dialog using the “Attach as right panel” or “Center in app” green button. In this panel, you will find the most important controls to set up your Grid. To activate the CSS Grid controls, select any Container element on the canvas and go to the Styles pane > Layout > Display > Grid.
