VCL flex-layout (deprecated)

deprecated - Use flex-grid instead.

Features

A declarative layout system built on top of CSS Flexbox. Features in CSS Flexbox are exposed as classes that can be put on any element.

Based on that, a twelve-column grid is provided.

Usage

Flexbox based layout primitives that can solve almost all layout challenges.

basic example

The flex layout also features a layout grid which works just like a classical float based grid. A grid row is built from a layout-grid-row containing an arbitrary number of layout-grid-cells. The cells can be sized using the column classed layout1 .. layout11 or the sizing from the utils module.

grid basic example

The grid also supports nesting of rows.

grid nested example

Note that a layout-grid-row must be enclosed in a block container.

A special feature is a grid row which allows to wrap grid cells based on their width maintaining the gutters. The total width of all cells can be greater than 100%, they wrap at multiples of 100%. The layout-wrapping-row modifier is used to enable this.
