Column

The Column components are structural elements designed to create grid layouts when used in conjunction with the Row component. Each Column component represents a fraction of the row’s width, ranging from Column.One (1/12th of the row’s width) to Column.Twelve (the entire row’s width).

These components leverage a flexbox-based grid system, making it easy to create responsive layouts.

Usage

The primary use case for the Column components is to define the width of content within a Row component. If you don’t specify a size, <Column> equals <Column.Twelve>.

import Row from '@components/Layout/Row/Row';
import Column from "@components/Layout/Column/Column";

const App = () => {
    return (
        <Row>
            <Column.Two>I take 2/12 of the row</Column.Two>
            <Column.Ten>I take 10/12 of the row</Column.Ten>
        </Row>
        <Row>
            <Column.Twelve>I take the full row</Column.Twelve>
        </Row>
        <Row>
            <Column>I also take the full row</Column>
        </Row>
    );
};

export default App;

You can also nest rows and columns to create more complex layouts.

import Row from '@components/Layout/Row/Row';
import Column from "@components/Layout/Column/Column";

const App = () => {
    return (
        <Row>
            <Column.Six>
                <Row>
                    <Column>Nested column</Column>
                </Row>
            </Column.Six>
        </Row>
    );
};

export default App;

Guide

Creating a Grid Layout

The Column components define the width of their content within a Row. The predefined components (Column.One to Column.Twelve) correspond to fractions of the row’s total width. For example:

• Column.One: 1/12th of the row’s width (8.33333%).
• Column.Six: Half of the row’s width (50%).
• Column.Twelve or just Column: Full row width (100%).

Example

import Row from '@components/Layout/Row/Row';
import Column from "@components/Layout/Column/Column";

const App = () => {
    return (
        <Row>
            <Column.One>I take 8.33333% of the row</Column.One>
            <Column.One>I take 8.33333% of the row</Column.One>
            <Column.One>I take 8.33333% of the row</Column.One>
            <Column.One>I take 8.33333% of the row</Column.One>
            <Column.One>I take 8.33333% of the row</Column.One>
            <Column.One>I take 8.33333% of the row</Column.One>
            <Column.Six>I take 50% of the row</Column.Six>
        </Row>
        <Row>
            <Column.Twelve>I take 100% of the row</Column.Twelve>
        </Row>
    );
};

export default App;

Accessing the HTML element

To access the HTML DOM element of the Column component:

1. Declare a variable to hold the ref but don’t initialize it with a value.
2. The declared value should have a type of HTMLDivElement.
3. Set the declared variable as the value of the ref prop of the Column component.

Example

import Row from '@components/Layout/Row/Row';
import Column from "@components/Layout/Column/Column";

const App = () => {
    let columnRef!: HTMLDivElement

    return (
        <Row>
            <Column.Two ref={columnRef}>I take 2/12 of the row</Column.Two>
        </Row>
    );
};

export default App;

Now you can access the HTML element of Column with columnRef and make modifications to it if needed.
