XY Grid	A fully reworked new grid system in v6.4 which has all the variety inbuilt in the form of multiple grid types which includes margin grid, padding grid, frame grid, block grid and vertical grid.	tjjVKGeoi3A	scss/xy-grid/*.scss

The XY Grid is a huge advancement in Grids. Stay up-to-date with all the new features in Foundation 6.4 with our online webinar training. You’ll come away knowing the ins and outs of the XY Grid to create complex layouts faster and with less code. Not to mention all the useful UI components and Foundation JavaScript you’ll learn. You’ll make your coworkers jealous.

XY Grid Basics

The XY grid works very similarly to the standard float grid, but includes a number of useful features only possible with Flexbox, like horizontal and vertical alignment, automatic sizing and a full vertical grid.

Browser support

The XY grid is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Safari 6+, IE10+, iOS 7+, and Android 4.4+. Flexbox is supported in Android 2, but not reliably enough for use with this grid. (View Flexbox browser support.) We recommend only using the XY grid on projects that can live with purely cutting-edge browser support.

Importing

XY grid is the default Foundation grid. It is present by default in foundation.css of CDN link or package managers. In Sass, it will be generated by default by @include foundation-everything (unless $flex or $xy-grid are set to false).

If $xy-grid is set to false, the flex grid is used.
If $flex is set to false, the float grid is used instead.

You can manually generate the XY Grid with:

@import 'foundation';

@include foundation-xy-grid-classes(
  /* options
  $base-grid: true,
  $margin-grid: true,
  $padding-grid: true,
  $block-grid: true,
  $collapse: true,
  $offset: true,
  $vertical-grid: true,
  $frame-grid: true
  */
);

Basics

The structure of XY grid uses .grid-x, .grid-y, and .cell as its base. Without defining a gutter type the cells will simply split up the space without any gutters.

<div class="grid-x">
  <div class="cell">full width cell</div>
  <div class="cell">full width cell</div>
</div>
<div class="grid-x">
  <div class="cell small-6">6 cells</div>
  <div class="cell small-6">6 cells</div>
</div>
<div class="grid-x">
  <div class="cell medium-6 large-4">12/6/4 cells</div>
  <div class="cell medium-6 large-8">12/6/8 cells</div>
</div>

Gutters

The defining feature of the XY grid is the ability to use margin AND padding grids in harmony. To define a grid type, simply set .grid-margin-x or .grid-padding-x on the grid.

Watch this part in video

<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
  <div class="cell medium-6 large-4">12/6/4 cells</div>
  <div class="cell medium-6 large-8">12/6/8 cells</div>
</div>
<div class="grid-x grid-padding-x">
  <div class="cell medium-6 large-4">12/6/4 cells</div>
  <div class="cell medium-6 large-8">12/6/8 cells</div>
</div>

Grid Container

The grid defaults to the full width of the available space. To contain it use the grid-container class. The container will be centered and have a max-width equal to your $grid-container setting (1200px by default), along with padding on the left/right equal to half your $grid-container-padding setting.

<div class="grid-container">
  <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
  </div>
</div>

Grid Container Fluid

To stretch the content to the full width of the available space, simply add the class fluid to your grid-container.

<div class="grid-container fluid">
  <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
  </div>
</div>

Grid Container Full

To stretch the content to the full width of the available space and remove grid container padding, simply add the class full to your grid-container. Note that this variation is primarily for use for the grid-margin-x - it works with grid-padding-x too, but will work the same as .grid-container.fluid.

Please note that when you are using `grid-margin-x` on a `grid-container` with `full` class you will also need to hide the horizontal overflow in order for this to work correctly if your content is going to touch the sides of the viewport.

The best way to do this is: `body {overflow-x: hidden;}`

<div class="grid-container full">
  <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
    <div class="cell small-4">cell</div>
  </div>
</div>

Auto Sizing

If the class .auto or .[size]-auto is added to the cell, it will take up the remaining space.

<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
  <div class="cell small-4">4 cells</div>
  <div class="cell auto">Whatever's left!</div>
</div>

Multiple expanding cells will share the leftover space equally.

<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
  <div class="cell small-4">4 cells</div>
  <div class="cell auto">Whatever's left!</div>
  <div class="cell auto">Whatever's left!</div>
</div>

A cell can also be made to shrink, by adding the .shrink or .[size]-shrink class. This means it will only take up the space its contents need.

<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
  <div class="cell shrink">Shrink!</div>
  <div class="cell auto">Expand!</div>
</div>

Responsive Adjustments

To switch back to the auto behavior from a percentage or shrink behavior, use the classes .[size]-auto or .[size]-shrink. In the below example, the cells stack on small screens, and become even-width on large screens.

<div class="grid-x">
  <div class="cell large-auto">One</div>
  <div class="cell large-auto">Two</div>
  <div class="cell large-auto">Three</div>
  <div class="cell large-auto">Four</div>
  <div class="cell large-auto">Five</div>
  <div class="cell large-auto">Six</div>
</div>

Collapse Cells

The .[size]-[gutter-type]-collapse class lets you remove cell gutters.

There are times when you won't want each media query to be collapsed. In this case, use the media query size you want and collapse and add that to your grid element. Example shows gutters at small and no gutters on medium and up.

<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x medium-margin-collapse">
  <div class="cell small-6">
    Gutters at small no gutters at medium.
  </div>
  <div class="cell small-6">
    Gutters at small no gutters at medium.
  </div>
</div>

Offsets

Offsets work by applying margin-left (or margin-top for a vertical grid) to a grid.

<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
  <div class="cell small-4 large-offset-2">Offset 2 on large</div>
  <div class="cell small-4">4 cells</div>
</div>

Block Grids

To define cell widths within a direction-level, instead of the individual cell level, add the class .[size]-up-[n] to a grid-x, where [n] is the number of cells to display per direction, and [size] is the breakpoint at which to apply the effect.

This example uses padding grid but this can be used with margin grid too.

<div class="grid-x grid-padding-x small-up-2 medium-up-4 large-up-6">
  <div class="cell">cell</div>
  <div class="cell">cell</div>
  <div class="cell">cell</div>
  <div class="cell">cell</div>
  <div class="cell">cell</div>
  <div class="cell">cell</div>
</div>

Block Grids are not availaible for the vertical grids. Use the basic layout with a size applied on each cell of the grid instead.

Looking for Push/Pull?

Push and pull are a bit of a hack solution and was only necessary for Float based grids. But for flexbox, this hack is not needed as source ordering does this with ease.

Vertical Grids

The XY grid also supports vertical grids. Simply apply .grid-y instead of .grid-x. The internal cells will shift automatically to provide spacing vertically rather than horizontally.

You can also apply margin or padding with .grid-margin-y and .grid-padding-y to apply spacing to the top and bottom of cells.

Watch this part in video

Please note for vertical grids to work, the grid needs a height. You can also use [grid frame](#grid-frame) to create a 100 vertical height grid (or 100% height if nested).

<div class="grid-y" style="height: 500px;">
  <div class="cell small-6 medium-8 large-2">
    6/8/2
  </div>
  <div class="cell small-6 medium-4 large-10">
    6/4/10
  </div>
</div>

Grid Frame

The XY grid incorporates the grid frame from Foundation for Apps plus many other useful features. To start, add .grid-frame to the grid. This sets the grid to be 100vh (the full height of the browser window).

Please note that to use `.grid-margin-x` or `.grid-margin-y` with `.grid-frame` you need to hide the overflow on the body like so: `body {overflow: hidden;}`. However, take care not to unintentionally hide overflow body content on small screens when using `.medium-grid-frame`.

Here's an example of what you can do:

<div class="grid-y medium-grid-frame">
  <div class="cell shrink header medium-cell-block-container">
    <h1>Grid Frame Header</h1>
    <div class="grid-x grid-padding-x">
      <div class="cell medium-4">
        A medium 4 cell
      </div>
      <div class="cell medium-4 medium-cell-block">
        <p style="width:80vw;">A medium 4 cell block... on medium this content should overflow and let you horizontally scroll across... one might use this for an array of options</p>
      </div>
      <div class="cell medium-4">
        A medium 4 cell
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="cell medium-auto medium-cell-block-container">
    <div class="grid-x grid-padding-x">
      <div class="cell medium-4 medium-cell-block-y">

Building Semantically

XY grid CSS is generated with a powerful set of Sass mixins, which you can use in your own code to build a semantic grid.

Grid Container

Use the xy-grid-container() mixin to create a grid container. This contains the grid to the width specified in $grid-container.

.container {
  @include xy-grid-container;
}

Grids

Use the xy-grid() mixin to create a grid.

.my-grid {
  @include xy-grid;
}

Gutters

Use the xy-gutters() mixin to add gutters to an item. The xy-cell mixin used this to output gutters, but you can use this to add responsive gutters to anything you like. This is especially powerful as you can specify where you want the gutters, like so:

.gallery-item {
  @include xy-gutters($gutter-position: left right bottom);
}

Cells

Use the xy-cell() mixin to create a cell. There are a number of ways to define the size of a cell. xy-cell accepts a few different keywords as well as specific sizes: full (full width), auto (automatic width) and shrink (take up only the space it needs).

.main-content {
  // Use the full column count (100%)
  @include xy-cell();

  // Use a column count (33%);
  @include xy-cell(4);

  // Use a percentage (15%)
  @include xy-cell(15%);

  // Use a custom fraction (20%)
  @include xy-cell(1 of 5);
}

The cell size calculator can also be accessed as a function. This gives you the percentage value, without any of the grid cell CSS.

.main-content {
  width: xy-cell-size(1 of 7);
}

Responsive Grids

Pair xy-cell with the breakpoint() mixin to make your grid responsive. Refer to the Sass documentation below to learn how each mixin works and the available arguments.

.main-content {
  @include xy-cell();

  @include breakpoint(medium) {
    @include xy-cell(8);
  }
}

Custom Block Grid

Use the xy-grid-layout() mixin to create your own block grid. By default the mixin takes 2 parameters:

number of columns
child selector

Refer to the Sass documentation below for the full list of arguments.

Here's an example:

.gallery {
  @include xy-grid-layout(3, '.gallery-item');
}

That outputs this CSS:

.gallery > .gallery-item {
  width: calc(33.33333% - 1.25rem);
  margin-right: 0.625rem;
  margin-left: 0.625rem;
}
