Understanding the inner workings of grid is essential. Material UI Grid layout operates on the flexbox model, where setting the container attribute on Grid equates to setting "display: flex" on it. This allows items within the flex box to flow either horizontally or vertically, enabling either horizontal or vertical spacing but not both simultaneously.
If you specify the "direction" attribute as "column" on Grid, like so:
<Grid container direction={'column'} spacing={24}>
<Grid item xl={6} md={6} sm={12} xs={12}>
<TextField
required
id="outlined-email-input"
label="Customer Name"
name="email"
fullWidth
/>
</Grid>
<Grid item xl={6} md={6} sm={12} xs={12}>
<TextField
required
id="outlined-email-input"
label="Customer Name"
name="email"
fullWidth
/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
The specified spacing will act as vertical spacing between the items, arranging them in a vertical manner.
To arrange items horizontally, adjust the code as follows:
<Grid container direction={'row'} spacing={24}>
<Grid item xl={6} md={6} sm={12} xs={12}>
<TextField
required
id="outlined-email-input"
label="Customer Name"
name="email"
fullWidth
/>
</Grid>
<Grid item xl={6} md={6} sm={12} xs={12}>
<TextField
required
id="outlined-email-input"
label="Customer Name"
name="email"
fullWidth
/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
In this scenario, the spacing will function as horizontal spacing. This configuration serves as the default if no "direction" attribute is specified.
To switch layouts between mobile and desktop views, follow these steps:
Create a CSS class with media queries that set "display: none" for mobile devices and "display: initial" for desktop devices. For example, create a class named "display-lg" to show elements on desktop and hide them on mobile. Similarly, make a class named "display-sm" to display elements on mobile and conceal them on desktop. Apply "display-lg" to the grid layout for desktop view and "display-sm" for mobile view.
This method may appear lengthy and repetitive, but it grants flexibility to incorporate additional changes specific to mobile layouts in the future.
