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.

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+, IE11, 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.

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/.grid-margin-y or .grid-padding-x/.grid-padding-y on the grid.

Grid Container

The grid defaults to the full width of the available space. To contain it horizontally 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>
4 cells
Whatever's left!

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>
4 cells
Whatever's left!
Whatever's left!

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>
Shrink!
Expand!

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>
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six

Collapse Cells X Grid only

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>
Gutters at small no gutters at medium.
Gutters at small no gutters at medium.

Offsets X Grid only

Offsets work by applying margin-left 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>
Offset 2 on large
4 cells

Block Grids X Grid only

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>

Block Grids are not available 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.

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

edit on codepen button 
<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>
6/8/2
6/4/10

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:

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) or any fraction (6, 50%, 1 of 2 or 1/2...).

.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);
}

A cell is composed of 3 parts: the base, the size and the gutters. In order to avoid duplicating properties, you can choose the parts to generate with the $output option, or call the XY cell mixins dedicated to each part individually.

.my-cell {
  @include xy-cell(12, $gutters: none);
}
.my-cell.half-size {
  @include xy-cell(6, $gutters: none, $output: (size));
  // Or @include xy-cell-size(6);
}
XY cell with margin gutters (by default) has gutters defined within their width/height. For this reason, you need to generate the gutter part of cells with margin gutters even when you only want to change the size.

Refer to the Sass documentation of the xy-cell mixin for the full list of arguments. See also xy-cell-base, xy-cell-size and xy-cellgutters.

Responsive Grids

Pair xy-cell with the breakpoint() mixin to make your grid responsive. The xy-grid mixin will automatically detect the breakpoint in which it is, but you can force it with the $breakpoint option. Refer to the Sass documentation below to learn how each mixin works and the available arguments.

.my-cell-medium-only-8 {
  @include xy-cell();

  // Generate a cell with a 8/12 width on medium breakpoint only
  @include breakpoint(medium) {
    @include xy-cell(8);
  }
}

You can also use for more advanced responsive cells:

  // ... with a 8/12 width on medium breakpoint and above (with the medium gutters)
  @include breakpoint(medium up) {
    @include xy-cell(8);
  }
  // ... with a 8/12 width on medium, large and xlarge (with the corresponding gutters)
  @include breakpoint(medium, large, xlarge up) {
    @include xy-cell(8);
  }
If you pass multiple breakpoints to the breakpoint mixin, it will duplicate its content for each of them. Be careful to only use breakpoint with properties that should change across breakpoints.

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;
  @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;
}
