Flex Layout: create layouts using the power of Flexbox

:sparkles: Branch: flexlayout

Introduction

The Flex Layout is a layout structuring paradigm created in Store Framework to allow the construction of complex layouts. This paradigm uses the concepts of lines and columns to define the desired block structure and positioning on a certain page.

There are two basic building blocks for each Flex Layout:

If you are already familiar with the Flexbox used in CSS, the Flex Layout should be easy to understand, since Flexbox is already used "under the hood" by flex-layout.row and flex-layout.col.

Flex Layout

With the help of Flex Layout, you can create customized layouts, using the Flexbox structure of lines and columns.

Analyzing the block's documentation, we see that you can use any block array as Flex Layout's children. In addition, you should always use flex-layout.row and flex-layout.col, and NEVER flex-layout alone.

Below, we have an example of a flex layout comprised of a flex-layout.row with two children: an info-card and a rich-text:

  "flex-layout.row":{
    "children": [
      "info-card#rethink",
      "rich-text#delete"
    ]
  },

 "info-card#rethink": {
    "props": {
      "imageUrl": "https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/utensilios-cozinha-min.png",
      "isFullModeStyle": true,
      "headline": "Time to rethink your kitchen",
      "callToActionText": "Discover",
      "textPosition": "center"
    }
  },

  "rich-text#deletar": {
    "props": {
      "text": "I'll be deleted soon"
    }
  }

Activity

  1. Declare the flex-layout.row in the store.home's template blocks and then declare the blocks mentioned above in your home.jsonc file.
  2. Edit the flex-layout.row children, substituting the rich-text block with a flex-layout.col column.
  3. Delete the above-mentioned rich-text block from your theme.
  4. Declare the flex-layout.col block in your home.jsonc file with two image components as children: image#electronics and image#major-appliance, in this order.
  5. Define the image blocks with the following props:
...
"image#electronics": {
  "props": {
    "src": "https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/assets/vtex.file-manager-graphql/images/electronics_banner___25d69b49f8224b369375e68513b4d593.png",
    "maxWidth": "100%"
  }
},
"image#major-appliance": {
  "props": {
    "src": "https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/assets/vtex.file-manager-graphql/images/major_appliance_banner___bb10093866a127345ddfbcca3efa5022.png",
    "maxWidth": "100%"
  }
}

The result should be similar to this:
