NameTypeDescription
childrennode

The content of the component.

columnsArray<number>
| number
| object

The number of columns.

columnSpacingArray<number
| string>
| number
| object
| string

Defines the horizontal space between the type item components. It overrides the value of the spacing prop.

containerbool

If true, the component will have the flex container behavior. You should be wrapping items with a container.

direction'column-reverse'
| 'column'
| 'row-reverse'
| 'row'
| Array<'column-reverse'
| 'column'
| 'row-reverse'
| 'row'>
| object

Defines the flex-direction style property. It is applied for all screen sizes.

disableEqualOverflowbool

lg'auto'

If a number, it sets the number of columns the grid item uses. It can't be greater than the total number of columns of the container (12 by default). If 'auto', the grid item's width matches its content. If false, the prop is ignored. If true, the grid item's width grows to use the space available in the grid container. The value is applied for the lg breakpoint and wider screens if not overridden.

lgOffset'auto'
| number

If a number, it sets the margin-left equals to the number of columns the grid item uses. If 'auto', the grid item push itself to the right-end of the container. The value is applied for the lg breakpoint and wider screens if not overridden.

md'auto'
| number
| bool

If a number, it sets the number of columns the grid item uses. It can't be greater than the total number of columns of the container (12 by default). If 'auto', the grid item's width matches its content. If false, the prop is ignored. If true, the grid item's width grows to use the space available in the grid container.

xlOffset'auto'
| number

If a number, it sets the margin-left equals to the number of columns the grid item uses. If 'auto', the grid item push itself to the right-end of the container. The value is applied for the xl breakpoint and wider screens if not overridden.

xs'auto'

If 'auto', the grid item's width matches its content. If false, the prop is ignored. If true, the grid item's width grows to use the space available in the grid container. The value is applied for all the screen sizes with the lowest priority.

xsOffset'auto'
| number

If a number, it sets the margin-left equals to the number of columns the grid item uses. If 'auto', the grid item push itself to the right-end of the container. The value is applied for the xs breakpoint and wider screens if not overridden.
