Flex React v1.2.10

Flex React is a grid-based set of components for React. It offers the following features:

• Created to be a lightweight grid solution
• Component-based grid system
• Styles written using CSS flexbox
• All styling used is prefixed to work across browsers
• Only peer-dependency is React
• Designed to help build mobile-responsive applications
• Easy to use!

As of v1.2.6, there is no padding prop in any component.

In a later version I may add a method to create a wrapper around these components to specify padding, but I could not resolve a specific style bug where an overflow of Col inside a Row would cause issues.

As a result, Grid has no actual purpose as of v1.2.6.

In the meantime, this package will have no supported way of creating 'gutters'/padding between components. Thanks

Install

npm install --save flex-react

If you don't see any styling appear, import this file somewhere high-level in your app:

import 'flex-react/dist/style.css';

Example

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Grid, Row, Col } from 'flex-react';


class Example extends Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <Grid className="example">
                <Row>
                    <Col sm={6}>
                        <p>Apart from on mobile, this will take up 50% of the row!</p>
                    </Col>

                    <Col sm={6}>
                        <p>And this will take up the other 50%!</p>
                    </Col>
                </Row>

                <Row center>
                    <Col xs={4}>
                        <p>This will be centered!</p>
                    </Col>
                </Row>

                <Row>
                    <Col xs={4} xsOffset={4}>
                        <p>This is another way to make something centered!</p>
                    </Col>
                </Row>

                <Row spaceBetween>
                    <Col sm={3}>
                        <p>This will be aligned on the left,</p>
                    </Col>

                    <Col sm={3}>
                        <p>and this will be aligned on the right!</p>
                    </Col>
                </Row>
            </Grid>
        );
    }
}

Development

To begin development, run the following:

npm start

This will host a webpack dev server at localhost:3000 where you can play around with the components.

The main file/'test harness' is located under /dev and webpack will serve them from /dev-build.

To modify the components themselves, simply edit them under the /src directory.

To build the files, simply run:

npm run build

Thanks!
