# Columns
|
|
|
|
This node is used to layout your content in columns with gaps.
|
|
|
|
<div className="ndl-image-with-background l">
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
The <span className="ndl-node">Columns</span> node does not have any own styling attached to it. Instead it arranges all its children into dynamic layouts using **layout strings**.
|
|
|
|
## Layout strings
|
|
|
|
A layout string is simply a string of numbers with spaces between them. Every number represents a fraction of the full container width and is converted to a column. A <span className="ndl-node">Columns</span> node with the layout string `1 2 1` that contains 5 children will be rendered like this:
|
|
|
|
<div className="ndl-image-with-background l">
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</div>

## Responsive layouts
|
|
|
|
### Using the Min Column Width value
|
|
|
|
The easiest way of making the columns responsive is by setting the <span class="ndl-data">Min Column Width</span> value. This will check if the columns will fit with your specified <span class="ndl-data">Layout String</span>. If the container can't fit the columns when they are at their Min Width, the layout will fold into a grid with fewer columns.
|
|
|
|
Make sure the children you pass are set to a width of `100%` of their parent.
|
|
|
|
### Using different layout strings
|
|
|
|
Advanced responsive layouts can easily be created by passing different values to the <span class="ndl-data">Layout String</span> input using a [States](/nodes/utilities/logic/states) node and the [Media Queries](/library/prefabs/media-query/) prefab.
|
|
|
|
Make sure the children you pass are set to a width of `100%` of their parent.
