Tiny Grid

This is a lightweight CSS grid framework used to build responsive websites and applications. With just a size of 4KB minified (< 1KB gzipped), it is hard to find a smaller framework with the same possibilities.

Quick Start

To use Tiny Grid in your project, download the CSS file tiny-grid.min.css located in the folder name css and include it in the head of you html page.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/tiny-grid.min.css">

The SCSS way

If you're using SCSS in you project, you could donwload the SCSS file instead. It is named tiny-grid.scss and located in the folder names scss. If you're doing it this way, you have more possibilities to customize the frameworks with your own breakpoints etc.

Markup

Tiny Grid uses the same markup as Bootstrap's grid to make it easy to use for everyone. Example of the markup can be seen below:

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6">This is a column</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6">This is another column</div>
  </div>
</div>

Container

Container is a class to use to wrap all page content. The max-width is set by changing the $grid-container-max-width variable.

Row

Rows should always wrap columns. This div contains negative margin to remove the padding from the outer columns.

<div class="row">
  <!-- Columns goes here -->
</div>

Columns

Breakpoint columns defines the width of the column in a certain breakpoint and up. Note that this frameworks uses min-width in the media queries.

The breakpoints could be defined in the $grid-breakpoints map. As default, Tiny Grid comes with the breakpoints sm, md, lg and xl.

As default, the grid system builds on a 12-column system. This could easily be changed by changing the $grid-columns variable to desired value.

Column construction

To construct a column, use the class col- followed by a breakpoint name and then a width (1 to 12).

<div class="col-md-4"></div>

This example creates a column which will be 33.333% wide (4/12) in the md breakpoint and up.

Responsive columns

It is possible to use different column widths in different breakpoints. To do so, just add multiple col- classes.

<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6"></div>

Column offset

To add a offset to a column, use the col- class followed by breakpoint name, -offset- and then a width (1 to 12).

<div class="col-lg-offset-2"></div>

No-breakpoint depended columns

To add a column that is not depended by a breakpoint, just ignore the breakpoint name in the class construciton.

<div class="col-6"></div>
