Layout

The Layout system provides flexible containers for organizing content either horizontally or vertically, with various alignment options. It uses CSS Flexbox under the hood to create consistent and responsive layouts.

Base Structure

The Layout system provides two fundamental ways to organize content: horizontal and vertical arrangements. These base structures form the foundation for more complex layouts.

Row Layout

The layout layout--row classes create a horizontal layout. Items are arranged horizontally from left to right, with center alignment as the default positioning.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Layout Horizontal 
<div class="layout layout--row">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

Column Layout

The layout layout--col classes create a vertical layout. Items are arranged vertically from top to bottom, with center alignment as the default positioning.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Layout Vertical 
<div class="layout layout--col">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

Alignment Modifiers

Once you've chosen a base layout structure, you can apply these modifier classes to control how items are aligned within their container. The system provides both directional alignment (top/bottom/left/right) and centering options.

Horizontal Alignment

Use layout--left, layout--center-x, or layout--right to control horizontal alignment.

Left
Layout Left Alignment 
<div class="layout layout--left">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

Vertical Alignment

Use layout--top, layout--center-y, or layout--bottom to control vertical alignment.

Top
Layout Top Alignment 
<div class="layout layout--row layout--top">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

Center Alignment

Use layout--center to center items both horizontally and vertically, or use layout--center-x and layout--center-y for individual axis control.

Center
Layout Center Alignment 
<div class="layout layout--row layout--center">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

<!-- Or with individual axis control -->
<div class="layout layout--row layout--center-x layout--center-y">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

Stretch Modifiers

Stretch modifiers allow you to control how child elements fill the available space within a layout. You can apply these modifiers either to the layout container or to individual child elements.

Container Stretch

Use layout--stretch to make all children stretch in both directions. You can also use layout--stretch-x and layout--stretch-y for individual axis control. These modifiers work with both row and column layouts.

Row Layout Stretch

Examples of stretch behavior in row layouts. Use layout--stretch for both directions, layout--stretch-x for horizontal, or layout--stretch-y for vertical stretch.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Row Layout Full Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--row layout--stretch">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Row Layout Horizontal Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--row layout--stretch-x">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Row Layout Vertical Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--row layout--stretch-y">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

Column Layout Stretch

Examples of stretch behavior in column layouts. The same modifiers work consistently regardless of layout direction.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Column Layout Full Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--col layout--stretch">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Column Layout Horizontal Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--col layout--stretch-x">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Column Layout Vertical Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--col layout--stretch-y">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  {{ Item 2 }}
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>

Child Element Stretch

Use stretch-x and stretch-y classes on individual elements to control their stretch behavior within row or column layouts.

Item 1
Item 2 (stretched)
Item 3
Layout Row + Individual Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--row">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  <div class="stretch-x">{{ Stretched Item }}</div>
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>
Item 1
Item 2
(stretched)
Item 3
Layout Column + Individual Stretch 
<div class="layout layout--col">
  {{ Item 1 }}
  <div class="stretch-y">{{ Stretched Item }}</div>
  {{ Item 3 }}
</div>
