Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install react-grid-container

Usage

1. GridContainer

The GridContainer component defines the overall grid structure. It allows you to control the number of columns, the gutter (spacing between grid items), and padding around the container.

Props:

• columns (string | number): Specifies the number of columns in the grid.
• gutter (string | number): Sets the spacing between grid items. (Default: 0)
• padding (string | number): Adds padding around the grid container. (Default: 0)
• className (string): Pass a custom class name for additional styling.

2. GridItem

The GridItem component represents an individual item within the GridContainer. It can span multiple columns and have customized margins.

Props:

• start (string | number): Defines the starting column for the grid item.
• columns (string | number): Determines how many columns the grid item spans.
• marginLeft (string | number): Optional left margin for the grid item.
• marginRight (string | number): Optional right margin for the grid item.
• className (string): Pass a custom class name for additional styling.

Example

Here is an example of how to use the GridContainer and GridItem components:

import React from 'react';
import { GridContainer, GridItem } from 'your-package-name';
import styles from './styles.module.css';

const ExampleComponent = () => (
  <GridContainer columns="20" gutter="16" padding="30" className={styles.gridContainer}>
    <div style={{ gridColumn: '5 / 5'}}>
      Item 1
    </div>
    <GridItem start="6" columns="7" marginRight="20" marginLeft="20" className={styles.gridItem}>
      Item 2
    </GridItem>
  </GridContainer>
);

export default ExampleComponent;

Explanation:

The GridContainer component uses CSS Grid to create a layout with 20 columns. The gutter is set to 16px, and padding is added around the container. The first div inside the GridContainer spans a specific column (gridColumn: '5 / 5'). The GridItem component starts at column 6, spans 7 columns, and has custom margins applied.

Output:

The grid will adapt based on the column count and gutter, creating a flexible layout. You can further customize the grid and grid items using CSS or inline styles.
