The lavu-grid is a Polymer 1.x Responsive Grid and defines a container for html elements with role="cell" or lavu-cell custom elements.

CSS from Material Design Lite grid is used as a base, so a large part of the documentation is copy pasted from the Material Design Lite layout GRID section.

The lavu-grid grid component is a simplified method for laying out content for multiple screen sizes. It reduces the usual coding burden required to correctly display blocks of content in a variety of display conditions.

A grid has 16 columns in the large (desktop) screen size, 12 in the medium (desktop) size, 8 in the small (tablet size), and 4 in the extra small (phone) size, each size having predefined margins and gutters set via custom css properties. Cells are laid out sequentially in a row, in the order they are defined, with some exceptions:

• If a cell doesn't fit in the row in one of the screen sizes, it flows into the following line.
• If a cell has a specified column size equal to or larger than the number of columns for the current screen size, it takes up the entirety of its row.

Style the lavu-grid as desired (colors, font size, maximum width, etc.), by setting CSS properties in --lavu-grid mixin. By setting a max-width CSS property in --lavu-grid mixin, the grid stays centered with padding on either side.

See the component page.

Install the component using Bower:

$ bower install leifoolsen/lavu-grid --save

<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/lavu-grid/lavu-grid.html">

<lavu-grid>
  <div role="cell">4</div>
  <div role="cell">4</div>
  <div role="cell">4</div>
  <div role="cell">4</div>
</lavu-grid>

This example renders a grid with four cells. Each cell spans four columns.

<lavu-grid on-media-query-changed='_mediaQueryChanged'>
  ...
</lavu-grid>

<script>
  ...
  _mediaQueryChanged: function(e) {
    if(this.$$('lavu-grid:first-child') == e.target) {
      console.log('media-query-changed: ' 
          e.detail.screenClass   ', '   e.detail.mediaQuery);
    }
  }
</script>

<lavu-grid media-queries='
  { "queryXs": "(max-width: 768px)",
    "querySm": "(min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 991px)",
    "queryMd": "(min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1199px)",
    "queryLg": "(min-width: 1200px)"
  }' >
  ...
</lavu-grid>
