Angular Columns

Learn how to modify columns with a handful of options for alignment, ordering, and offsetting thanks to flexbox grid system.

## How they work - **Columns build on the grid's flexbox architecture**. Flexbox means we have options for changing individual columns and [modifying groups of columns at the row level](https://coreui.io/angular/docs/layout/grid#row-columns). You choose how columns grow, shrink, or otherwise change. - **When building grid layouts, all content goes in columns**. The hierarchy of CoreUI grid goes from [container](https://coreui.io/angular/docs/layout/containers) to row to column to your content. On rare occasions, you may combine content and column, but be aware there can be unintended consequences. - **CoreUI for Angular includes predefined components for creating fast, responsive layouts**. With [six breakpoints](https://coreui.io/angular/docs/layout/breakpoints) and a dozen columns at each grid tier, we have dozens of components already built for you to create your desired layouts. This can be disabled via Sass if you wish. --- ## Alignment Use flexbox alignment utilities to vertically and horizontally align columns. ### Vertical alignment

--- ### Horizontal alignment

--- ### Column wrapping If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line.

--- ### Column breaks Breaking columns to a new line in flexbox requires a small hack - add an element with `width: 100%` wherever you want to wrap your columns to a new line. Normally this is accomplished with multiple `c-row`s, but not every implementation method can account for this.

--- You may also apply this break at specific breakpoints with our [responsive display utilities](https://coreui.io/docs/utilities/display).

--- ## Reordering ### Order props Use `order="1"` (`first`, `1..5`, `last`) props for controlling the visual order of your content. These props are responsive, so you can set the order by breakpoint (e.g., `order="{xs: 1, md: 2}"`). Includes support for 1 through 5 across all six grid tiers.

--- There are also responsive props `order="first"` and `order="last"` with responsive variations `order={xs: "last", sm: "first"}` that change the order of an element by applying order: `-1` and order: `6`, respectively. These values can also be intermixed with the numbered `1..5` values as needed.

--- ## Offsetting columns You can offset grid columns in two ways: our col props `offset="0..12"` with responsive variations `offset={md: 2, lg: 3}` col props and our [margin utilities](https://coreui.io/docs/utilities/spacing). Grid props are sized to match columns while margins are more useful for quick layouts where the width of the offset is variable. ### Offset prop Move columns to the right using `offset={ md: * }` props. These props increase the left margin of a column by `*` columns. For example, `offset={ md: 4 }` moves .col-md-4 over four columns.

--- ### Margin utilities You can use margin utilities like `.me-auto` to force sibling columns away from one another.

--- ## Standalone columns The `c-col` component can also be used outside a `c-row` to give an element a specific width. Whenever column component are used as non direct children of a row, the paddings are omitted.

--- The classes can be used together with utilities to create responsive floated images. Make sure to wrap the content in a `.clearfix` wrapper to clear the float if the text is shorter.

--- ## API reference ### Grid Module

 ```typescript
import { GridModule } from '@coreui/angular';

@NgModule({
    imports: [GridModule,]
})
export class AppModule() { }
```
