Layout Components

Grid3

A specialized layout component for creating a responsive three-column grid. It simplifies the arrangement of content into a balanced and organized structure.

SourceEdit this page

A responsive layout component that arranges its children in a three-column CSS grid. Great for feature triads, card collections, and balanced summaries.

When to Use

  • Three-up feature grids, plan tiers, or testimonial collections.
  • Card layouts with a medium item count (3, 6, 9 items).
  • Galleries or thumbnail rows that need equal column widths.

When NOT to Use

  • For two or four columns — use Grid2 or Grid4 instead.
  • For variable-width items — use Row flexWrap and let children size themselves.
  • For column-spanning layouts — use raw CSS grid with className instead.

Customizing

Set app-wide Grid3 defaults with ThemeProvider's themeDefaults:

react-icon
import { ThemeProvider, Grid3 } from '@vaneui/ui';


<ThemeProvider themeDefaults={{
  grid3: { lg: true },
}}>
  <Grid3>{/* ... */}</Grid3>
</ThemeProvider>
