Grid layout

Also known as

Column layout, Responsive grid

GridLayout and GridItem manage the layout of the main content area in your application screen or webpage. It aligns content to a system of equally distributed columns and rows to create a cohesive and organized user interface. When combined with responsive breakpoints, You can configure GridLayout to determine the display of specific content across different viewport sizes or device screen sizes.

  • When it's best to display your content using a configurable number of columns and rows, such as a form or a dashboard.
  • For content regions where you display blocks or groups of content alongside each other, such as the main content area of the application, Dialog, or Drawer.
  • When users will access the application or webpage across different viewport, screen or device sizes. GridLayout controls how to display the content and responsively organize across the different spaces, ensuring a reliable, usable experience.
  • To define the high-level layout of your application surrounding the content area (i.e., header, footer, navigation areas. Instead, use BorderLayout.
  • To lay out your content in a single dimension only, for example a horizontal summary bar containing a row of metric components, or a vertical stack of Accordion components. Instead, use StackLayout, FlowLayout or FlexLayout.
