How to create responsive layouts using grid on Editor X

Creating responsive designs for your website just got a whole lot easier, thanks to the advanced layouting tool known as grid on Editor X. This incredible tool allows you to precisely position elements within a two-dimensional framework of columns and rows, ensuring that your designs look exactly the way you want across various screen sizes. In this blog post, we'll go in-depth on how to create these responsive layouts using grid and how joining the live learning community at livelearning.editorx.io could take your design skills to the next level.

Understanding the fundamentals of grid

First things first, let's grasp the basics of how grid works on Editor X. Whenever you add a section or container to your design, it automatically comes with a simple one-by-one grid. This means that the section contains one grid cell, and any element you place inside the section will have its position relative to the entire section.

To gain more control over the positioning of individual elements in your design, you can adjust the grid on Editor X. You have the option to choose from various preset layouts or create a custom one to suit your specific design needs.

Positioning elements within the grid

Let's explore the process of positioning elements within the grid. For example, assume you've created a 2x2 grid in your section. This divides the section into four grid cells. When you want to position an element, such as an image, you can easily drag and drop it into the desired grid cell. As you move the element, it automatically docks to the nearest grid lines, ensuring neat alignment.

Now, the element's position is relative to the grid cell it's placed in. You can stretch the image to fill the entire grid cell or even fill multiple grid cells if desired.

Using the Inspector panel for precise positioning

Another useful method for positioning elements within the grid is by utilizing the Inspector panel on Editor X. With the element selected, you can choose which grid cell to place it in by clicking the corresponding cell in the Inspector. To position elements across multiple grid cells, simply hold down the Shift key and select the necessary grid cells within the Inspector.

As you navigate through this process, take note that row numbers will update according to the element's position. And when you need to view or hide grid measurements, just head to the "View" menu and toggle the grid measurements on or off.
