Responsive Grid Layout

Known issues

Non Chromium based (old) Edge: on some sizes of the responsive-area the calculation of column margins can result in moving a column to a new row

Add responsive-grid-area

You can use the responsive grid helper component as a bootstrap-like grid area for optimizing your Details Pane configuration for different breakpoints.

Use the helper as a wrapper for the content you want to format like this:

XML
{{#responsive-grid-area}}
	<!-- your content -->
{{/responsive-grid-area}}

Grid breakpoints

To optimize the content for different Pane sizes, the grid allows to display content in up to 12 columns and provides five breakpoints:

  • xs = extra small, width < 300px
  • sm = small, width >= 300px && width < 430px
  • md = medium, width >= 430px && width < 660px
  • lg = large, width >= 660px && width < 900px
  • xl = extra large, width >= 900px

Defining element size

The size of an element can be set by adding the "data-col" attribute to an HTML-Element:

XML
{{#responsive-grid-area}}
	<div data-col="4">Title:</div>
	<div data-col="8">{{model.Title}}</div>
{{/responsive-grid-area}}

Element size for various details pane width

Following the mobile first approach, you can specify different sizes for each column at a specific breakpoint. This means that the column size of the largest breakpoint set will also be used for larger breakpoints, if you don't specify them.

The following example will display the first element as 4 column width (on xs and sm sizes) and as 2 column width (on md and larger sizes):

XML
{{#responsive-grid-area}}
	<div data-col="md-2 xs-4">Title:</div>
	<div data-col="md-10 xs-8">{{model.Title}}</div>
{{/responsive-grid-area}}

Additional Configuration options

ExampleDescription

{{#responsive-grid-area data-grid="no-padding"}} 

"no-padding" will create the grid-area without the default padding
{{#responsive-grid-area breakpointsm="400"}} set the small breakpoint to 400px
{{#responsive-grid-area breakpointmd="590"}} set the medium breakpoint to 590px
{{#responsive-grid-area breakpointlg="780"}} set the large breakpoint to 780px
{{#responsive-grid-area breakpointxl="970"}} set the extra large breakpoint to 970px
{{#responsive-grid-area tabindex="0"}} allow focus on the grid-area to improve usability with screen readers 
<div data-col="xs-3 no-gutter"></div>"no-gutter" will create the column without adding the default margin
<div data-col="break"></div>start a new row after this element, can also be breakpoint specific (e.g. break-xs)
<div data-col="offset-xs-2 xs-10"></div>allow to offset the column to add spacing between columns
<div data-col="sm-8 valign-sm-center xs-12 valign-xs-bottom"></div>allow to set the vertical alignment of content inside the column (options: top / center / bottom)
