LinearLayout

A layout that arranges children either horizontally in a single column or vertically in a single row.

At it's core, this component is basically a CSS flexbox. As such, all CSS flexbox properties are valid when styling a LinearLayout. This also means that this component is NOT supported in browsers that do not support CSS flexbox without appropriate polyfills.

Some sensible CSS defaults have been set and some CSS custom properties have been provided as a convenience (see the documented CSS custom properties below for more details).

Props

Any prop that is acceptable by a div component is acceptable by a LinearLayout component.

• direction ?String - Default = "horizontal"

  The direction to arrange the component's children.

  Possible values:

  • "horizontal"
  • "horiz"
  • "h"
  • "vertical"
  • "vert
  • "v"

• inline ?Boolean - Default = false

  Determines whether or not the layout should be treated as an inline element or a block element.

• domRef ?Function

  Function that passes as it's only parameter a reference to the underlying dom element of the LinearLayout.

CSS Custom Properties

• --linear-layout-item-gap Same types as any "margin" CSS property

  Sets the gap (I.E. margin) between all direct children of a LinearLayout.

Immediate Children CSS Custom Properties

• --sub-linear-layout-item-gap Same types as any "margin" CSS property

  Sets the gap (I.E. margin) between all direct children of a LinearLayout.

  NOTE: --linear-layout-item-gap takes precedence over this custom property, but it is provided for situations where you may need to nest a LinearLayout as a direct child of another LinearLayout.

• --linear-layout-item-size Same types as "width" or "height" CSS properties

  Sets the height (if direction = "vertical") or width (if direction = "horizontal") of all direct children of a LinearLayout.

• --linear-layout-item-min-size Same types as "min-width" or "min-height" CSS properties

  Sets the minimum height (if direction = "vertical") or width (if direction = "horizontal") of all direct children of a LinearLayout.

• --linear-layout-item-max-size Same types as "max-width" or "max-height" CSS properties

  Sets the maximum height (if direction = "vertical") or width (if direction = "horizontal") of all direct children of a LinearLayout.

Examples

Storybook Examples

MyLinearLayoutComponent.jsx

import React from 'react';
import LinearLayout from '@bsara/react-layouts/LinearLayout';
import './MyLinearLayoutComponent.css';


export default function MyLinearLayoutComponent(props) {
  return (
    <LinearLayout {...props} className="layout" direction="horizontal">
      <a>Anchor 0</a>
      <a>Anchor 1</a>
      <a>Anchor 2</a>
      <LinearLayout className="sub-layout" direction="vertical">
        <a>Sub Anchor 0</a>
        <a>Sub Anchor 1</a>
        <a>Sub Anchor 2</a>
      </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
  );
}

MyLinearLayoutComponent.css

.layout {
  --linear-layout-item-gap: 5px;
}

.sub-layout > * {
  --linear-layout-item-gap: 10px;
}

Output (Text Representation)

The component above will lay out it's children similar to the following:

    |----------|----------|----------|----------------|
    | Anchor 0 | Anchor 1 | Anchor 2 ||--------------||
    |          |          |          || Sub Anchor 0 ||
    |          |          |          ||--------------||
    |          |          |          || Sub Anchor 1 ||
    |          |          |          ||--------------||
    |          |          |          || Sub Anchor 2 ||
    |          |          |          ||--------------||
    |----------|----------|----------|----------------|

ResponsiveLinearLayout

A layout that arranges children either horizontally in a single column or vertically in a single row and is responsive to size changes.

This component is exactly the same a LinearLayout except that it has built in responsive styles when the CSS custom prop --responsive-linear-layout-item-gap is used. See the docs for LinearLayout for more information.

Props

Any prop that is acceptable by a div component is acceptable by a ResponsiveLinearLayout component.

• direction ?String - Default = "horizontal"

  The direction to arrange the component's children.

  Possible values:

  • "horizontal"
  • "horiz"
  • "h"
  • "vertical"
  • "vert
  • "v"

• inline ?Boolean - Default = false

  Determines whether or not the layout should be treated as an inline element or a block element.

• domRef ?Function

  Function that passes as it's only parameter a reference to the underlying dom element of the ResponsiveLinearLayout.

CSS Custom Properties

• --responsive-linear-layout-item-gap Same types as any "margin" CSS property

  Sets the gap (I.E. margin) between all direct children of a ResponsiveLinearLayout.

Immediate Children CSS Custom Properties

• --linear-layout-item-size Same types as "width" or "height" CSS properties

  Sets the height (if direction = "vertical") or width (if direction = "horizontal") of all direct children of a ResponsiveLinearLayout.

• --linear-layout-item-min-size Same types as "min-width" or "min-height" CSS properties

  Sets the minimum height (if direction = "vertical") or width (if direction = "horizontal") of all direct children of a ResponsiveLinearLayout.

• --linear-layout-item-max-size Same types as "max-width" or "max-height" CSS properties

  Sets the maximum height (if direction = "vertical") or width (if direction = "horizontal") of all direct children of a ResponsiveLinearLayout.

Examples

Storybook Examples

MyResponsiveLinearLayoutComponent.jsx

import React from 'react';

be responsive to sizing changes):
