Grid: Column Fill And Fit

Layout

Float layout

The float layout grid uses a 928px max-width. Grid columns collapse down to a single width on small screens.

Float layout grid rows

A .grid represents a single row. For multiple rows, use multiple grids.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid-width-4"></div>
  <div class="grid-width-8"></div>
</div>
<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid-width-8"></div>
  <div class="grid-width-4"></div>
</div>

Flex layout

The flex layout has no max width. It is composed of parent rows and child cols. Each row of columns needs to be enclosed in a row and columns don’t have to add up to anything. If you’re using a pure flex -f{#] grid, the toal number of columns is simply the sum of the -f{#}s. (you can mix and match with col-fit and col-fill as well, or have underfilled rows using fixed or percentage width utilities). Columns may include nested rows and columns as in the following:

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-f4"></div>
  <div class="col-f8 row row-center-x">
    <div class="col-f10"></div>
    <div class="col-f1"></div>
    <div class="col-f1"></div>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-f12"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-f2"></div>
  <div class="col-fill"></div>
  <div class="col-fit"></div>
  <div class="col-f2"></div>
</div>
