šŸ”¹ Layout-card - Take control of where your cards end up

Hi,
The grid properties are all based on CSS. Youā€™ll find some infos here or by googling CSS grids, that ought to get you started :wink:

Thanks for replies! Yeah, have to learn css a bit. Sometimes I confuse haas specific configurations with css code parts.

Guys, Iā€™m trying this layout card on Core but cannot find the ā€œLayout Optionsā€ box to enter the width & cols.

Hello, I have a hard time trying to write correct yaml for the layout card. Grid option in combination with ā€œchildrenā€ elements seems hard to get to work. Here is my grid:

Please, Can someone help me write the yaml for the layout card.
Here is the html and css.

<div class="container">
  <div class="card1"></div>
  <div class="card2">
    <div class="card2\.1"></div>
    <div class="card2\.2"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="card3">
    <div class="card3\.1"></div>
    <div class="card3\.2"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="card4"></div>
</div>
.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-auto-columns: 1fr;
  grid-auto-rows: 1fr;
  gap: 10px 10px;
  grid-auto-flow: row;
  grid-template-areas:
    "card1 card2"
    "card3 card4";
}

.card1 { grid-area: card1; }

.card2 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 0.5fr 0.5fr;
  gap: 10px 0px;
  grid-auto-flow: row;
  grid-template-areas:
    "card2\.1 card2\.1 card2\.1"
    "card2\.2 card2\.2 card2\.2";
  grid-area: card2;
}

.card2\.1 { grid-area: card2\.1; }

.card2\.2 { grid-area: card2\.2; }

.card3 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 0.5fr 0.5fr;
  gap: 10px 0px;
  grid-auto-flow: row;
  grid-template-areas:
    "card3\.1 card3\.1 card3\.1"
    "card3\.2 card3\.2 card3\.2";
  grid-area: card3;
}

.card3\.1 { grid-area: card3\.1; }

.card3\.2 { grid-area: card3\.2; }

.card4 { grid-area: card4; }

you have an awesome setup. I am struggling to arrange multicolumn card like yours. could you share your yaml please? thanks.

I hope that someone can put me in the right direction?

with horizontal or masonry

with default

I want ā€œonlyā€ horizontal, but sizing and size breaks same as default and though it should be possible, because the guide says:

image

But that is not the case. There are big differences in sizing and size breaks, as shown in screenshots above.

Is there any means to align a not-so-tall card to the center? I tried with align-item/align-self and justify, but apparently canā€™t find the correct place to put it.


I want the ā€œBlood Sugarā€ card to be centered like the weather one, which auto-centered.
Help please?

I have a question about Netatmo noise sensor? How reliable is that? Does it measure noise level continuously or periodically?

Mine started acting weird after last update. I can view my Lovelace properly via win10 PC using chrome but on my mobile device I get: Custom element doesnā€™t exist: layout-card.

Is there a way to have a card laid on top of another card? Much like you can do with a div in html?

So now all my lovelace show Custom element doesnā€™t exist: layout-card. Was there a breaking change in the new hassio update?

Hi guys ,

Can anybody help me with this code:

    layout:
      grid-template-columns: 7% auto 370px 367px
      grid-template-rows: auto
      grid-template-areas: |
        "radio media main map"
      mediaquery:
        '(max-width: 800px)':
          grid-template-columns: 100%
          grid-template-areas: |
            "map"
            "media"
            "main"
            "radio"
        '(max-width: 1100px)':
          grid-template-columns: 50% 50%
          grid-template-areas: |
            "main map"
            "radio media"

Iā€™m not able to specify the order of the content in the mediaquery parts - everything seems to work fine but it keeps showing the content in the same order as first mentioned: ā€œradio media main mapā€

How can that be?

Never mind - my bad. I accidentally place the

        view_layout:
          grid-area: "namehere"

in the wrong ā€œlevelsā€

Hi, Iā€™m new to CSS grid, so still learningā€¦

How do I now centre the grid within the available space in the card (red rectangle in image)

I managed to do it with gap cards and more columns, but the code was messy and Iā€™m sure thereā€™s an easier, cleaner way to do it.

Thanks!

I want to create a view that looks like the picture above and I have struggled with layout-card, grid-card and different kind of combinations of horizontal- and vertical stacks but failed miserably. Any chance that this could be done with layout-card? I want the cards to fill the entire view

Grateful for all help I can get :pray:

Iā€™ve tested this, and it will distribute the cards on the screen how you want:

title: Test
icon: mdi:home-assistant
path: test
type: custom:grid-layout
layout:
  grid-template-columns: 20% 20% 20% 20% 20%
  grid-template-rows: auto ## or 4 if you want to be strict about it 
  grid-template-areas: |
    "buttons1 buttons1 buttons1 buttons1 buttons1"
    "r2button1 picture1 picture1 picture1 r2button2"
    "r3button1 picture1 picture1 picture1 r3button2"
    "buttons2 buttons2 buttons2 buttons2 buttons2"
cards:

## Row1
  - type: horizontal-stack

  - type: horizontal-stack
    view_layout:
      grid-area: r3button2
    cards:
      - type: button
        entity: XXXX

        entity: XXXX

Iā€™ve used horizontal-stack cards around the buttons to ensure they fill 100% of the row height. And this is where you might meet your first hurdle - your graphic assumes that the default button height is 50% of the picture-glance height, which is not the case. Therefore, with this layout, the buttons on rows 3 + 4 will be taller than the buttons on rows 1 + 4.

Assuming you are working with a screen with a fixed height and width e/g a tablet, you can play around with Thomas Lovenā€™s custom card-mod to specify a height in pixels for the cards on rows 2 + 3, but this will not likely work well on a layout that needs to be responsive.

Anyway, hope this can get you going at least. Others might chip in if my code has obvious flaws or ways it could be improved.

Thank you very much, that worked like a charm!

I just need to tweak the heights of the button cards or add one more card on each side to match the height of the picture-glance card

Thank you @reste_narquois , that is very helpful.

Trying to build off of your template I have gotten stuck.

I thought I had it figured, but the height of my buttons in my second vertical stack is not automatically adjusted to fill the outer horizontal stack.

Did I do something wrong in the grid-template? To me it should be ā€œsimplyā€ two vertical stacks in one horizontal stack and the buttons in the second vertical-stack should be strechted evenly to fill the second column.

I am curious, is it possible to use badges with any layout?
Tried this example - no badges:

title: test-2
path: test-test-2
panel: false
badges:
  - entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
type: custom:masonry-layout
cards: []

Same for vertical, horizontal.
Works only if the type: line is commented.
Panel mode = false.
It is not that I cannot live w/o badges - just for testingā€¦

There is a Github issue for this:
