## Examples

### Default

The `Grid` component uses a 12-column layout system. Use `span` to control the number of columns that should be displayed.

```jsx
<Grid enableOverlay>
  <Grid.Column span={1}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={11}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={2}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={10}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={3}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={9}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={4}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={8}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={5}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={7}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={6}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={6}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={7}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={5}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={8}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={4}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={9}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={3}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={10}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={2}></Grid.Column>
</Grid>
```

### Nested grids

```jsx
<Grid enableOverlay>
  <Grid.Column>
    <Grid enableOverlay>
      <Grid.Column span={4}></Grid.Column>
      <Grid.Column span={4}></Grid.Column>
      <Grid.Column span={4}></Grid.Column>
    </Grid>
  </Grid.Column>
</Grid>
```

### Responsive behavior

Use `span` with an `Object` of breakpoint-specific keys and `number` values to enable responsive behavior.

Breakpoints use `min-width`, where it will also apply your chosen `span` value to all larger breakpoints.

```jsx
<Grid enableOverlay>
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 12, small: 12, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 12, small: 12, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 12, small: 12, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 12, small: 12, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
  <Grid.Column span={{xsmall: 6, small: 6, medium: 6, large: 4, xlarge: 3, xxlarge: 2}} />
</Grid>
```

### Column offset

Use `start` to provide a positioning offset.

```jsx
<Grid enableOverlay>
  <Grid.Column span={3}></Grid.Column>
  <Grid.Column span={5} start={8}></Grid.Column>
</Grid>
```
