Use Cases

Below are the use cases address by this Layout library. The current implementation provides features/solutions for all listed user cases.

Non-responsive Use Cases:
  • Layout elements in rows
  • Layout elements in columns
  • Nested containers should have isolated layout constraints
  • Adjust container children sizes (flex) based on static percentages
  • Adjust container children sizes (flex) based on static pixel values
  • Adjust container children sizes (flex) based on expressions
  • Adjust alignment of container children based on static/dynamic values
  • Adjust offset of container children based on static/dynamic values
  • Adjust ordering of container children based on static/dynamic values
  • Container children resizing (flex) is dependent upon container layout directions (layout)
  • Changes in Layout directives will update nested Flex children
Responsive API Use Cases:
  • Change Detection: ngOnChanges due to Layout attribute expressions only trigger for defined activated breakpoints or used as fallback
    • Input changes are filtered so the default input key is used if the activation key is not defined
    • Input changes are filtered so only the current activated input change will trigger an update
  • Activations: when the mediaQuery becomes active
    • mq Activation only uses expressions for the activated breakpoint
    • mq Activation fallback to use to non-responsive expressions (fallback) if no breakpoint defined
  • Subscription notifications: using MatchMedia and MediaMonitor
    • ResponsiveActivation internally uses MediaMonitor to subscribe to mediaQuery activation changes
    • MediaChange will contain the current activation information
  • Querying: for imperative or template logic
    • Components can dependency-inject the MatchMediaObservable and subscribe to all activations. See Demo Example
  • Breakpoint Customization:
    • Custom set of breakpoints can be defined as a Provider
    • Custom breakpoints will override ALL default breakpoints (no merging)
