Grid component

About

As we cannot guarantee the Blocks within the a Micro Grid and make use of the child combinator > and the universal selector * to target them.

Usage

A Simple Grid is written to go from single column, to two column, to their respective column count depending on the size of the viewport.

You can define the number of columns with a modifier class.

Do Not Use with any component that uses the <table> HTML element as this breaks built-in browser accessibility for screen readers etc.

Currently (16/03/20) The vf-grid is expecting to be a parent of vf-body. It does, however, work inside embl-grid now as we have added CSS to make it respect the boundaries so that it doesn't break.
