Provides rules for layout design and resolves issues of dynamic layout across devices with different sizes. By dividing a page into equal-width columns and rows, you can easily locate and typeset page elements.
Provides a unified positioning method for the system to ensure layout consistency across layouts on different devices. This can reduce the complexity of design and development and improve work efficiency.
Provides a flexible spacing adjustment method for applications to accommodate special layout requirements. You can adjust the spacing between columns and between rows to control the typesetting of the entire page.
Automatic wrapping and adaptation: The grid layout can automatically wrap and adapt one-to-many layouts. When the number of page elements exceeds the capacity of a row or column, they automatically wrap to a new row or column and adapt the typesetting to different devices, making the page layout more flexible and adaptable.

The GridRow component is a responsive grid container and must have GridCol as its child component.

GridRow

[h2]Breakpoints

GridRow defines breakpoints, which are screen width types in effect, based on screen width (pixel unit, in vp). You can use the breakpoints to meet specific layout requirements.

By default, devices are categorized into four breakpoints.

Breakpoint	Value Range (vp)	Device Description
xs	[0, 320)	Minimum-width device.
sm	[320, 600)	Small-width device.
md	[600, 840)	Medium-width device.
lg	[840, +∞)	Large-width device.

You can customize breakpoints using the BreakPoints parameter, supporting up to six breakpoints: xs, sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl.

Breakpoint	Device Description
xs	Minimum-width device.
sm	Small-width device.
md	Medium-width device.
lg	Large-width device.
xl	Extra-large-width device.
xxl	Extra-extra-large-width device.

You can configure breakpoints using a monotonically increasing array based on your application's requirements. By default, the GridRow container supports four breakpoints. If no custom breakpoints are specified, the default array is ["320vp", "600vp", "840vp"]. Using the BreakPoints parameter, you can support up to six breakpoints, with a maximum array length of 5.

If you provide an array [n0, n1, n2, n3, n4], the breakpoint ranges are calculated as follows.

Breakpoint	Value Range
xs	[0, n0)
sm	[n0, n1)
md	[n1, n2)
lg	[n2, n3)
xl	[n3, n4)
xxl	[n4, INF)

breakpoints: {value: ['100vp', '200vp']} // Three breakpoints: xs (< 100 vp), sm (100–200 vp), md (> 200 vp)
breakpoints: {value: ['320vp', '600vp']} // Three breakpoints: xs (< 320 vp), sm (320–600 vp), md (> 600 vp)
breakpoints: {value: ['320vp', '600vp', '840vp', '1440vp']} // Five breakpoints: xs (< 320 vp), sm (320–600 vp), md (600–840 vp), lg (840–1440 vp), xl (> 1440 vp)

The GridRow container implements breakpoints by listening for the changes in the window or container size, and sets the breakpoint references through reference. Since the application may be displayed in non-full-screen mode, it is better to design the breakpoints with the application window width as the reference.

For example, you can define breakpoints to divide the application width into six ranges, and configure columns to specify the number of columns in the container for each breakpoint range.

@Entry
@Component
struct WindowRefGridLayout {
  @State currentBp: string = 'unknown'

In practice, set breakpoint values based on actual usage scenarios to achieve one-time development for multi-device deployment.
          reference: BreakpointsReference.WindowSize
        }
      }) {
        ForEach(this.bgColors, (color: ResourceColor, index?: number | undefined) => {
          GridCol({ span: 1 }) { // All child components span 1 column.
            Row() {
              Text(`${index}`)
            }.width('100%').height('50vp')
          }.backgroundColor(color)
        })
      }

        this.currentBp = breakPoint
      })
    }
  }
}

[h2]Columns

The columns attribute defines the total number of columns in the GridRow container.

Before API version 20, the default value of columns is 12. If columns is not set, the responsive grid layout is divided into 12 columns at any breakpoint.

Since API version 20, the default value of columns is { xs: 2, sm: 4, md: 8, lg: 12, xl: 12, xxl: 12 }.

// xxx.ets

      'rgb(255,192,0)', 'rgb(170,10,33)', 'rgb(213,213,213)', 'rgb(150,150,150)', 'rgb(0,74,175)', 'rgb(39,135,217)'];

  build() {
    GridRow() {
      ForEach(this.bgColors, (item: ResourceColor, index?: number | undefined) => {
        GridCol({ span: 1 }) {
          Row() {
            Text(`${index}`)
          }.width('100%').height('50')
        }.backgroundColor(item)
      })
    }
  }
}

Below shows the layout display before API version 20.

Below shows the layout display since API version 20, using the sm device as an example where the default number of columns is 4.

columns supports two types: number and GridRowColumnOption. You can set the total column count of the grid layout in two ways.

When columns is set to a number, the grid maintains the same number of columns across all device sizes. The following figures demonstrate the layout effects when the grid is configured with 4 and 8 columns respectively, with each child component spanning one column.

      .border({ color: 'rgb(39,135,217)', width: 2 })
      .width('90%')
    }
  }
}

When columns is set to GridRowColumnOption, you can configure the number of grid columns for each of the six device sizes (xs, sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl).

@Entry
@Component
struct GridRowColumnOptionLayout {
  @State bgColors: ResourceColor[] =
    ['rgb(213,213,213)', 'rgb(150,150,150)', 'rgb(0,74,175)', 'rgb(39,135,217)', 'rgb(61,157,180)', 'rgb(23,169,141)',
      'rgb(255,192,0)', 'rgb(170,10,33)'];

  build() {
    GridRow({
      columns: { sm: 4, md: 8 },
      breakpoints: {
        value: ['320vp', '600vp', '840vp', '1440vp', '1600vp'] // Add custom breakpoints '1440vp' and '1600vp' while retaining default breakpoints ['320vp', '600vp', '840vp']. In practice, set breakpoint values based on actual usage scenarios to achieve one-time development for multi-device deployment.
      }
    }) {
      ForEach(this.bgColors, (item: ResourceColor, index?: number | undefined) => {
        GridCol({ span: 1 }) {
          Row() {
            Text(`${index}`)
          }.width('100%').height('50')
        }.backgroundColor(item)
      })
    }
    .height(200)
    .border({ color: 'rgb(39,135,217)', width: 2 })
  }
}

Layout behavior before API version 20: If the number of grid columns is not configured for xs devices, the default value of 12 columns is used.

Click to enlarge

Layout behavior since API version 20: xs devices inherit the number of grid columns from sm devices.

Click to enlarge

If only the grid column numbers for sm and md devices are configured, the xs, lg, xl, and xxl devices will use default values based on the grid column number completion rules.

[h2]Alignment

In the grid layout, you can set the direction attribute of GridRow to define the direction in which child components are arranged. The options are GridRowDirection.Row (from left to right) or GridRowDirection.RowReverse (from right to left). An appropriate direction value can make the page layout more flexible and meet the design requirements.

When child components are arranged from left to right (default):
```
GridRow({ direction: GridRowDirection.Row }) { /* ... */ }
```

When child components are arranged from right to left:

GridRow({ direction: GridRowDirection.RowReverse }) { /* ... */ }

[h2]Gutters

In the GridRow component, gutter is used to set the spacing between adjacent child components in the horizontal and vertical directions.

When gutter is set to a number, the number applies to both the horizontal and vertical directions. In the following example, the horizontal and vertical spacing between adjacent child components is set to 10.
```
GridRow({ gutter: 10 }) { /* ... */ }
```
When gutter is of type GutterOption, horizontal and vertical spacing can be set independently: the x property defines horizontal spacing, and the y property defines vertical spacing.
```
GridRow({ gutter: { x: 20, y: 50 } }) { /* ... */ }
```

GridCol

The GridCol component is a child component of the GridRow component. You can set the span, offset, and order attributes of this component by passing parameters or using setters.

Setting span

let gSpan:Record<string,number> = { 'xs': 1, 'sm': 2, 'md': 3, 'lg': 4 }

GridCol({ span: 2 }){}
GridCol({ span: { xs: 1, sm: 2, md: 3, lg: 4 } }){}
GridCol(){}.span(2)
GridCol(){}.span(gSpan)

Setting offset

let gOffset:Record<string,number> = { 'xs': 1, 'sm': 2, 'md': 3, 'lg': 4 }

GridCol({ offset: 2, span: 1 }){}
GridCol({ offset: { xs: 2, sm: 2, md: 2, lg: 2 }, span: 1 }){}
GridCol({ span: 1 }){}.offset(gOffset)

Setting order

let gOrder:Record<string,number> = { 'xs': 1, 'sm': 2, 'md': 3, 'lg': 4 }

GridCol({ order: 2, span: 1 }){}
GridCol({ order: { xs: 1, sm: 2, md: 3, lg: 4 }, span: 1 }){}
GridCol({ span: 1 }){}.order(2)
GridCol({ span: 1 }){}.order(gOrder)

[h2]span

Sets the number of columns occupied by a child component in the grid layout, which determines the child component width. The default value is 1.

span supports two types: number and GridColColumnOption. You can set the number of columns that a grid subcomponent occupies within the grid container in two ways.

When span is set to a number, the child component occupies the same number of columns across all screen sizes.

// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct SpanNumberExample {
  @State bgColors: ResourceColor[] =
    ['rgb(213,213,213)', 'rgb(150,150,150)', 'rgb(0,74,175)', 'rgb(39,135,217)', 'rgb(61,157,180)', 'rgb(23,169,141)',
      'rgb(255,192,0)', 'rgb(170,10,33)'];

  build() {
    GridRow({ columns: 8 }) {
      ForEach(this.bgColors, (color: ResourceColor, index?: number | undefined) => {
        GridCol({ span: 2 }) {
          Row() {
            Text(`${index}`)
          }.width('100%').height('50vp')
        }
        .backgroundColor(color)
      })
    }
    .border({ color: 'rgb(39,135,217)', width: 2 })
    .height('150vp')
  }
}

When span is set to the GridColColumnOption type, you can configure different column spans for the six device sizes (xs, sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl). If column spans are only specified for certain breakpoints (for example, sm and md), the remaining breakpoints (xs, lg, xl, and xxl) will use default values based on the GridColColumnOption completion rules.

@Entry
@Component
struct SpanColumnOptionExample {
  @State currentBp: string = "unknown"
  @State bgColors: ResourceColor[] =
    ['rgb(213,213,213)', 'rgb(150,150,150)', 'rgb(0,74,175)', 'rgb(39,135,217)', 'rgb(61,157,180)', 'rgb(23,169,141)',
      'rgb(255,192,0)', 'rgb(170,10,33)'];

  build() {
    Column({ space: 6 }) {
      GridRow({ columns: 8 }) {
        ForEach(this.bgColors, (color: ResourceColor, index?: number | undefined) => {
          GridCol({
            span: {
              xs: 1,
              sm: 2,
              md: 3,
              lg: 4
            }
          }) {
            Row() {
              Text(`${index}`)
            }.width('100%').height('50vp')
          }
          .backgroundColor(color)
        })
      }
      .border({ color: 'rgb(39,135,217)', width: 2 })
      .height('150vp')
      .onBreakpointChange((breakPoint) => {
        this.currentBp = breakPoint
      })

      Text(this.currentBp)
    }
  }
}

[h2]offset

Sets the column offset of a child component relative to the previous child component. The default value is 0.

When offset is set to a number, the column offset remains consistent across all screen sizes.

@Entry
@Component
struct OffsetNumberExample {
  @State bgColors: ResourceColor[] =
    ['rgb(213,213,213)', 'rgb(150,150,150)', 'rgb(0,74,175)', 'rgb(39,135,217)', 'rgb(61,157,180)', 'rgb(23,169,141)',
      'rgb(255,192,0)', 'rgb(170,10,33)'];

  build() {
    Column() {
      GridRow({ columns: 12 }) {
        ForEach(this.bgColors, (color: ResourceColor, index?: number | undefined) => {
          GridCol({ offset: 2, span: 1 }) {
            Row() {
              Text('' + index)
            }.width('100%').height('50vp')
          }
          .backgroundColor(color)
        })
      }

      Blank().width('100%').height(150)
    }.border({ color: 'rgb(39,135,217)', width: 2 })
  }
}

On devices with lg and larger breakpoints, the grid is divided into 12 columns. Each child component occupies one column with a two-column offset, resulting in each component and its spacing occupying three columns in total. Four child components fit within a single row.

When offset is set to the GridColColumnOption type, you can configure different offset values for specific screen size breakpoints (xs, sm, md, lg, xl, xxl).

@Entry
@Component
struct OffsetColumnOptionExample {
  @State currentBp: string = 'unknown'
  @State bgColors: ResourceColor[] =
    ['rgb(213,213,213)', 'rgb(150,150,150)', 'rgb(0,74,175)', 'rgb(39,135,217)', 'rgb(61,157,180)', 'rgb(23,169,141)',
      'rgb(255,192,0)', 'rgb(170,10,33)'];

  build() {
    Column({ space: 6 }) {
      GridRow({ columns: 12 }) {
        ForEach(this.bgColors, (color: ResourceColor, index?: number | undefined) => {
          GridCol({
            offset: {
              xs: 1,
              sm: 2,
              md: 3,
              lg: 4
            },
            span: 1
          }) {
            Row() {
              Text('' + index)
            }.width('100%').height('50vp')
          }
          .backgroundColor(color)
        })
      }
      .height(200)
      .border({ color: 'rgb(39,135,217)', width: 2 })
      .onBreakpointChange((breakPoint) => {
        this.currentBp = breakPoint
      })

      Text(this.currentBp)
    }
  }
}

[h2]order

The sequence number of a grid subcomponent, which determines the display order of subcomponents. When subcomponents have no order set or have the same order value, they are displayed in the order they appear in the code. When subcomponents have different order values, those with smaller values are displayed before those with larger values.

If order is set for only some child components, those with explicit order values are displayed after unordered components and sorted in ascending order.

When order is set to a number, components maintain the same display sequence across all screen sizes.

GridRow({ columns: 12 }) {
  GridCol({ order: 4, span: 1 }) {
    Row() {
      Text('1')
    }.width('100%').height('50vp')
  }.backgroundColor('rgb(213,213,213)')

  GridCol({ order: 3, span: 1 }) {
    Row() {
      Text('2')
    }.width('100%').height('50vp')
  }.backgroundColor('rgb(150,150,150)')

  GridCol({ order: 2, span: 1 }) {
    Row() {
      Text('3')
    }.width('100%').height('50vp')
  }.backgroundColor('rgb(0,74,175)')

  GridCol({ order: 1, span: 1 }) {
    Row() {
      Text('4')
    }.width('100%').height('50vp')
  }.backgroundColor('rgb(39,135,217)')
}.border({ width: 1, color: 'rgb(39,135,217)' }).height('200vp')

When order is set to the GridColColumnOption type, you can configure different display sequences for specific screen size breakpoints (xs, sm, md, lg, xl, xxl). For example, you can define sequence 1234 for xs devices, 2341 for sm devices, 3412 for md devices, and 2431 for lg devices.

@Entry
@Component
struct OrderColumnOptionExample {
  @State currentBp: string = 'unknown'

  build() {
    Column({ space: 5 }) {
      GridRow({ columns: 12 }) {
        GridCol({
          order: { xs: 1, sm: 5, md: 3, lg: 7 }, span: 1 }) {
          Row() {
            Text('1')
          }.width('100%').height('50vp')
        }.backgroundColor('rgb(213,213,213)')

        GridCol({
          order: { xs: 2, sm: 2, md: 6, lg: 1 }, span: 1 }) {
          Row() {
            Text('2')
          }.width('100%').height('50vp')
        }.backgroundColor('rgb(150,150,150)')

        GridCol({ order: { xs: 3, sm: 3, md: 1, lg: 6 }, span: 1 }) {
          Row() {
            Text('3')
          }.width('100%').height('50vp')
        }.backgroundColor('rgb(0,74,175)')

        GridCol({ order: { xs: 4, sm: 4, md: 2, lg: 5 }, span: 1 }) {
          Row() {
            Text('4')
          }.width('100%').height('50vp')
        }.backgroundColor('rgb(39,135,217)')
      }.border({ width: 1, color: 'rgb(39,135,217)' }).height('200vp').onBreakpointChange((breakpoint) => {
        this.currentBp = breakpoint
      })

      Text(this.currentBp)
    }
  }

Responsive grid components can be contained in other responsive grid components.

In the following example, the responsive grid divides the entire space into 12 parts. At the first layer, GridCol is nested in GridRow, and the space is divided into the large area in the center and the footer area. At the second layer, GridCol is nested in GridRow, and the space is divided into the left and right areas. The child components take up the space allocated by the parent component at the upper layer. In this example, the pink area is made up of 12 columns of the screen space, and the green and blue areas take up the 12 columns of the parent component proportionally.

@Entry
@Component
struct GridRowExample {
  build() {
    GridRow({ columns: 12 }) {
      GridCol({ span: 12 }) {
        GridRow({ columns: 12 }) {
          GridCol({ span: 2 }) {
            Row() {
              Text('left').fontSize(24)
            }
            .justifyContent(FlexAlign.Center)
            .height('90%')
          }.backgroundColor('#ff41dbaa')

          GridCol({ span: 10 }) {
            Row() {
              Text('right').fontSize(24)
            }
            .justifyContent(FlexAlign.Center)
            .height('90%')
          }.backgroundColor('#ff4168db')
        }
        .backgroundColor('#19000000')
      }

      GridCol({ span: 12 }) {
        Row() {
          Text('footer').width('100%').textAlign(TextAlign.Center)
        }.width('100%').height('10%').backgroundColor(Color.Pink)
      }
    }.width('100%').height(300)
  }
}

To sum up, the responsive grid components are powerful tools with a wide range of customization capabilities. With the required attributes set at different breakpoints, such as columns, margin, gutter, gutter, and span, the layout is created automatically. You do not need to pay attention to the specific device type and device state (such as landscape and portrait).
