Body component
About
The Body component can be used to create a centered layout to add your content. This should be added to the body element in the markup.
Usage
The vf-body layout should be added to the body element in your mark up and therefore should only be added once.
This layout component sets a maximum width to the 'page' and centers it. The maximum width of the page is set as a default to 80em or 1280px but can be changed using the CSS custom property --vf-body-width if needed. As the web is, by default, a fluid medium the vf-body needs to give some inline spacing when the browswer viewport is smaller than 1280px like on a tablet or mobile device. This is made possible using padding: 0 1em which is the same as padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 1em.
<body class="vf-body | vf-stack vf-stack--400">...</body>
<body> <div class="my-app | vf-body"> ... </div> </body>
CSS
.vf-body {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 80em;
max-width: var(--vf-body-width, 80em);
padding: 0 1em;
}Install
This component is distributed with npm. After installing npm, you can install the vf-body with this command.
$ yarn add --dev @visual-framework/vf-body
