Container

The Container component centers your content horizontally. It is the most basic layout element.

Basic Usage

Basic Container

Paragraph with hyperlink

import React from 'react';


import { Container, Heading, Hyperlink, Paragraph } from 'react-magma-dom';


export function Example() {
  return (
    <Container>
      <Heading level={3}>Basic Container</Heading>
      <Paragraph>
        Paragraph with <Hyperlink to="#">hyperlink</Hyperlink>
      </Paragraph>
    </Container>
  );
}

Inverse

The isInverse prop will give the Container component a dark background with light text. All of the components inside will also receive the isInverse prop.

Basic Container

Paragraph with hyperlink

import React from 'react';


import { Container, Heading, Paragraph, Hyperlink } from 'react-magma-dom';


export function Example() {
  return (
    <Container isInverse>
      <Heading level={3}>Basic Container</Heading>
      <Paragraph>
        Paragraph with <Hyperlink to="#">hyperlink</Hyperlink>
      </Paragraph>
    </Container>
  );
}

Max-Width

By default, a Container does not have a max-width. The maxWidth prop allows you to set a max-width on the Container which will be centered inside it's containing element. The maxWidth prop can either be a number or a string. If a number is provided, then the max-width will be set in pixels.

export function Example() {
  return (
    <Container isInverse maxWidth={600}>

      <Paragraph>
        Paragraph with <Hyperlink to="#">hyperlink</Hyperlink>
      </Paragraph>
    </Container>
  );
}

Gutter Width

By default, a Container component has left and right padding of 24px. This can be adjusted using the gutterWidth prop, which accepts a number (as pixels) or a string.

      <Paragraph>

      </Paragraph>
