Settings
Sometimes you want to override the default settings for the layout, such as media queries. React Crisscross ships with a module that can help you inject custom settings.
Layout Provider
import Layout, { LayoutProvider } from '@ludens-reklame/react-crisscross';
const mySettings = {
mediaQueries: {
lg: 1500
}
}
<LayoutProvider settings={mySettings}>
<Layout container>
<Layout item>
{/* Content */}
</Layout>
</Layout>
</LayoutProvider>
Default settings
These settings can be overwritten by the LayoutProvider
.
const settings = {
mediaQueries: {
xs: 0,
sm: 600,
md: 960,
lg: 1280,
xl: 1920
},
columns: 12
};

Although all instructions for development in React Crisscross use yarn as package manager, npm can also be used.
