sap.f.GridList

The GridList allows you to use different types of layouts responsible for the positioning and responsiveness of the content.

Overview

A grid is a two-dimensional structure composed of a series of intersecting vertical and horizontal guidelines used to structure content. The grid serves as a framework in which you can organize controls in a consistent way throughout the design. Dividing a design space into a grid can help position individual elements in a visually appealing manner, facilitate the representation of a user flow, and make information more comprehensible and accessible.

With the new sap.f.GridListcontrol, you can easily organize and align your content according to your preferences.

Layouts

sap.f.GridList allows application developers to display list items in a two-dimensional grid where the visual layout/display options can be configured flexibly using predefined and custom templates. The layout used is based on the CSS display grid and has a default configuration that displays the list items in a grid.

sap.ui.layout.GridBoxLayout

sap.ui.layout.GridBoxLayout is a layout that allows you to position controls in a grid, relative to one another, using constraints defined by its boxWidth, boxMinWidh or boxesPerRowConfig properties.

  • boxMinWidth allows the items inside sap.ui.layout.GridBoxLayout to accommodate the available width without allowing them to be smaller than the specified boxMinWidth.

  • boxWidth sets the exact width of the items inside sap.ui.layout.GridBoxLayout regardless of the remaining space available in the row.

  • boxesPerRowConfig allows the alignment and specification of the number of items in a row, depending on the browser viewport size.

Note

  • The height of all items is set to the height of the highest item.

  • If the boxWidth property is set, boxMinWidth and boxesPerRowConfig properties are ignored. If the boxMinWidth property is set, boxesPerRowConfig property is ignored.
