Columns help us place and organize content side-by-side horizontally or vertically.
The cool thing about columns is that they come with a couple of user-friendly presets.
In mosaic mode, you can choose to display 2, 3, or 4 columns of the same size by default:
Something else thatโs pretty neat is that you can easily resize columns on the Canvas if you donโt need every column to be exactly the same size:
Adding Content Inside Columns
As with every other container in WeWeb, you can drag and drop other containers or elements inside the columns element.
In the example below, you can see in the Navigator that the Jobs Column element has a number of children elements:
- a "Job Wrapper" flexbox container that containsโฆ
- a "Job" flexbox container that containsโฆ
- two flexbox containers: one with an image of the logo, and one with more information about the job
All these containers and elements translate into what you see on the Canvas:
By default Columns are going to have a small amount of padding on the sides, but you can adjust that in the elements style settings:
