Off canvas slide menus

The k-top-container__navigation container, .k-sidebar-left container, .k-sidebar-right container and .k-subcontent container are all hidden by default on small devices. We added toggle buttons to open these with matching icons.

If you however want to change the icons or content on these buttons you can add data-toggle-button-content="[your content]" to the following containers:

  • .k-top-container__navigation for the top navigation
  • .k-sidebar-left for the left sidebar
  • .k-sidebar-right for the right sidebar
  • .k-subcontent for the subcontent container

Grid

A form layout can have fluid grid inside a .k-container element:

  • k-container__full, full width column
  • k-container__main, 2/3 width column
  • k-container__sub, 1/3 width column only for non-required form elements

Layout classes

The layouts require a set of predefined CSS classes for visual and behavioral enhancements:

  • .k-ui-container, magically added by the framework around each view
  • .k-top-container, requires .k-ui-container as parent
  • .k-wrapper, required on outer div inside each view
  • .k-content-wrapper, requires .k-wrapper as parent
  • .k-content-area, requires .k-content-wrapper as parent
  • .k-content-area__child, requires .k-content-area as parent
  • .k-content, requires either .k-content-wrapper or .k-content-area__child as parent
  • .k-subcontent, requires .k-content-area__child as parent
  • .k-subcontent__child requires .k-subcontent as parent
  • .k-component-wrapper, requires either .k-content or .k-content-area__child as parent
  • .k-component, requires .k-component-wrapper as parent
  • .k-flex-wrapper, only used on single child parents that need flexbox
  • .k-sidebar-left, requires to be first child of .k-content-wrapper and have .k-content as sibling
  • .k-sidebar-right, requires to be last child of .k-component-wrapper and have .k-component as sibling

Bootstrap 4 grid

Bootstrap 4 did a great job at adding a flexible flexbox grid system. We’ve added this grid to use inside our predefined layouts. Using this grid it’s possible to easily align and stack content on different screen sizes.

Shark alert: Beware of the changes we made to the grid. See below.

  • Based on Bootstrap 4.1.3
  • All classes are namespaced with k-bs- (so .k-bs-container, .k-bs-col-4 etc.)
  • Breakpoints are synced with our own breakpoints
  • There’s an extra s breakpoint alongside with xs, sm, md, lg and xl (so .col-s is an option)
  • The .k-bs-container class is fluid by default. If you, for whatever reason, need a non-fluid container, use .k-bs-maxwidth-container
  • Do not use the classes between the other layout classes but rather use the Bootstrap 4 grid classes inside our predefined layout classes
