Usage

SimpleGrid is a responsive grid system with equal-width columns. It uses CSS grid layout. If you need to set different widths for columns, use Grid component instead.

<Demo data={SimpleGridDemos.usage} />

spacing and verticalSpacing props

The spacing prop controls horizontal spacing between columns. By default, it is also used for vertical spacing between rows. If you want different vertical spacing, set the verticalSpacing prop explicitly:

tsx
import { SimpleGrid } from '@mantine/core';

// `spacing` is used for both horizontal and vertical spacing
const Spacing = () => <SimpleGrid spacing="xl" />;

// `spacing` is used for horizontal spacing, `verticalSpacing` for vertical
const VerticalSpacing = () => (
  <SimpleGrid spacing="xl" verticalSpacing="lg" />
);

Responsive props

cols, spacing and verticalSpacing props support object notation for responsive values, it works the same way as style props: the object may have base, xs, sm, md, lg and xl key, and values from those keys will be applied according to current viewport width.

In the following example, cols={{ base: 1, sm: 2, lg: 5 }} means:

  • 1 column if viewport width is less than sm breakpoint
  • 2 columns if viewport width is between sm and lg breakpoints
  • 5 columns if viewport width is greater than lg breakpoint

Same logic applies to spacing and verticalSpacing props.

Container queries

To use container queries instead of media queries, set type="container". With container queries, grid columns and spacing will be adjusted based on the container width, not the viewport width.

Note that, when using container queries, cols, spacing and verticalSpacing props cannot reference theme.breakpoints values in keys. It is required to use exact px or em values.

To see how the grid changes, resize the root element of the demo with the resize handle located at the bottom right corner of the demo:

<Demo data={SimpleGridDemos.container} />

Auto-fill columns

Set the minColWidth prop to use CSS Grid auto-fill to automatically adjust the number of columns based on available space and minimum column width. When minColWidth is set, the cols prop is ignored.

<Demo data={SimpleGridDemos.minColWidth} />

auto-fill vs auto-fit

By default, minColWidth uses auto-fill behavior. You can change it to auto-fit with the autoFlow prop. The difference between the two:

  • auto-fill creates as many tracks as possible without overflowing the container, leaving empty tracks if items don't fill the row
  • auto-fit works the same way but collapses empty tracks, allowing items to stretch and fill the remaining space

Auto rows

Set the autoRows prop to control the size of implicitly created grid rows. This is useful when you need all rows to have equal height or a minimum height.

<Demo data={SimpleGridDemos.autoRows} />

Browser support

SimpleGrid uses CSS Grid Layout, it is supported in all modern browsers. If you need to support older browsers, use Grid (flexbox based) component instead.

When type="container" is set, SimpleGrid uses container queries. Since February 2023, container queries are supported in all modern browsers. If you need to support older browsers, do not use container queries option.
