How to use

Simply include the library

<script src="flex-grid.js"></script>

And use your grid

<flex-grid>
  <div>Col 1</div>
  <div>Col 2</div>
  <div>Col 3</div>
</flex-grid>

Why a custom element ?

The custom element is just a convenience around setting the custom styles

It just makes the whole thing neat. Also, it allows targeting of elements based on their attributes in css.

<flex-grid md="3" lg="4">
  <div>col 1 of md=3/lg=4</div>
  <div>col 2 of md=3/lg=4</div>
  <div>col 3 of md=3/lg=4</div>
  <div>col 4 of md=3/lg=4</div>
</flex-grid>

Also, using attributes makes it very clear what is related to the layout when classes can mean various things.
