Grids

Sizing

Using the col prop on a FlexCol or the col-{n} classes, you can create a basic grid system by specifying the width of each column out of 24.

Dynamic column growth

You can also specify how the columns grow with the grow={n} prop or the col-grow-{n} classes (n = 2 - 11). These columns will attempt to respect their given ratio until the content of the column exceeds their parameters, after which the column will drop onto another row:
