Lovelace themable grid WIP
This is a work in progress experimental lovelace grid card replacement.
A responsive grid card that can be defined once per lovelace dashboard
Installation
- Download the
themable-grid.js
from the latest release and store it in yourconfiguration/www
folder. - Configure Lovelace to load the card:
Configuration
The cards
key to list cards is required and the only needed config.
You can configure the grid styling and breakpoints in your root lovelace config (recommended) or on the individual themable-grid card.
You can either rely on the built-in breakpoints to get a 1-2-3 column setup for mobile-tablet-desktop or you can override with your own breakpoints.
The default breakpoints will be named mobile
, tablet
and desktop
to make the intention very clear. These names can be used to override styles for the individual cards on individual breakpoints.
type: 'custom:themable-grid'
cards:
- type: markdown
content: First
- type: markdown
content: Second
- type: markdown
content: Third
Define the configuration for the card in your root lovelace config as in this example. You can use an arbitrary number of breakpoints. This config shows the defaults if you don't supply a config.
themable_grid:
padding: 0
gap: 8px
breakpoints:
- name: mobile
mq: (max-width: 767px)
columns: 1
- name: tablet
mq: (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)
columns: 2
- name: desktop
mq: (min-width: 1024px)
columns: 3
Tweaking specific cards
You can style specific cards in order to for example have it span all columns or to enforce it to start in a new row – or any other crazy thing you want to.
These styles are currently applied to the wrapper div for the card. In the future the wrapping div might go away and styling be applied to the actual card custom element.
Style overrides are set on the grid
prop, which accepts any CSS property with either a value for all breakpoints or specific values for specific breakpoints.
Here are some examples
Card spans all columns
type: 'custom:themable-grid'
cards:
- type: markdown
content: First
- type: markdown
content: Second
grid:
grid-column: 1 / -1
Force card to start a new row on desktop
type: 'custom:themable-grid'
cards:
- type: markdown
content: First
- type: markdown
content: Second
grid:
grid-column:
desktop: 1
Caveats
- Part of what makes this experimental is that it is built using Svelte, because I wanted to test it out.
- All the cards will be wrapped in a div because I've yet to find a working way to avoid that for dynamic tag names in Svelte.
- It probably breaks in a number of cases
- It requires a modern browser
Roadmap/ideas
- [x] Arbitrary number of breakpoints. Perhaps 2 breakpoints are enough for some yet 4 is better for other.
- [ ] Get rid of the wrapping div
- [ ] UI editor. Can probably be based on the native grid one
