让我们来看看如何使用 CSS3 的弹性布局写出 10 种常见的 UI 组件。
翻译自 Flexbox Patterns
Flexbox CSS 的基础属性就是 display: flex
,只需要给元素添加这个属性,你就用上了弹性布局了。就这么简单!
你也许会问,这个属性起了什么作用?默认情况下,它指定了容器中的子元素沿主轴(main axis)排列,主轴默认是水平方向的。
接下来,我们会用两个实例来介绍这个属性是如何用在我们的 UI 组件的。
步进计数器 Demo
我们要介绍的第一个例子是步进输入框组件。当绑定 JavaScript 代码之后,点击 + / - 号,输入框中的值将会对应增加 / 减少。
译注:此处计数器的实现也可以使用 CSS Counters 来代替 JavaScript,具体例子可以参考 使用 CSS 的 counter-increment 做的游戏。
按照以往的思路,你可能会选择用 display: inline-block
或者 float: left
来实现这种内联样式。然而,这样做的话,你还需要给这些元素统统添加特定的选择器。让我们使用弹性盒子吧,只需要往容器添加 display: flex
属性,就可以实现相同的效果了。
当你添加这个属性时,相当于对元素说:“嘿伙计,你就负责按照 flexbox 的规则排列你的子元素就好了!”。在最基本的形式下,元素沿主轴(main axis)排列,默认就是 x 轴,从左到右。
CSS 代码
.stepperInput {
/**
* Setting display to flex makes this container lay
* out its children using flexbox. By default, it
* orders items horizontally, top-aligned.
* This has a similar effect to setting the children
* to have display: inline-block.
*/
display: flex;
}
.stepperInput__input {
border-left: 0;
border-right: 0;
width: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
.button {
cursor: pointer;
padding: 5px 15px;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #4EBBE4;
font-size: 12px;
border: 1px solid #16A2D7;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.button--addOnLeft {
border-top-right-radius: 0;
border-bottom-right-radius: 0;
}
.button--addOnRight {
border-top-left-radius: 0;
border-bottom-left-radius: 0;
}
.input {
border: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
padding: 0 10px;
border-radius: 0;
box-shadow: none;
}
HTML 代码
<div class="stepperInput">
<button class="button button--addOnLeft">-</button>
<input type="text" placeholder="Age" value="32" class="input stepperInput__input"/>
<button class="button button--addOnRight">+</button>
</div>
标签页 Demo
同理,使用 display: flex
也可以实现这种标签页效果。
CSS 代码
.tabs {
/**
* Setting display to flex makes this container lay
* out its children using flexbox, the exact same
* as in the above "Stepper input" example.
*/
display: flex;
border-bottom: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
}
.tab {
cursor: pointer;
padding: 5px 30px;
color: #16A2D7;
font-size: 12px;
border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;
}
.tab.is-tab-selected {
border-bottom-color: #4EBBE4;
}
HTML 代码
<div class="tabs">
<div class="tab is-tab-selected">Tab 1</div>
<div class="tab">Tab 2</div>
<div class="tab">Tab 3</div>
<div class="tab">Tab 4</div>
</div>
译注:tab 的切换效果可以通过纯 CSS 实现,可以参考 CSS trick for tabs without javascript demo
站点头部 Demo
你可以把这种组件作为网站或者 webapp 的顶部。
要构建这种组件,典型方法是把 logo 和导航按钮包裹在一个容器,设置按钮放在另一个容器中。然后,使用 float
把两个容器方别推向两边。紧接着,你要对整个顶部元素清除浮动。对于一个简单布局而言,这也太复杂了。
如果使用弹性盒子,你依然需要容器元素,但是你不需要为容器添加特定的样式了,因为 flexbox 已经让父元素来负责布局了。
除开 display: flex
属性外,我们还需要另外两个属性来调整布局:
justify-content: space-between
让容器左右分开成为了可能。这个属性把 logo 和导航按钮推向了左边,把设置推向了右边。align-items: center
讲主轴上的元素垂直居中对齐。这个属性很重要,因为 logo 和导航按钮高度不同,如果不设置该属性,它们默认会对齐上边沿。
.siteHeader {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox, which is horizontal by default.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* Make the container put as much space as possible
* between its children, with the children at either
* end laying flush against the container's edges.
*/
justify-content: space-between;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #56727C;
}
.siteHeader__section {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* Align the children in the center, along
* the main axis. By default the children will
* align along their top edges.
*/
align-items: center;
}
.siteHeader__item {
padding: 5px 15px;
font-size: 12px;
}
.siteHeader__item + .siteHeader__item {
margin-left: 5px;
}
.siteHeader__item.is-site-header-item-selected {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #415F69;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.siteHeaderLogo {
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 0;
color: white;
}
.siteHeaderButton {
cursor: pointer;
color: #D9E9EF;
}
<div class="siteHeader">
<!-- This section gets pushed to the left side-->
<div class="siteHeader__section">
<div class="siteHeader__item siteHeaderLogo">
<div class="fa fa-inbox"></div>
</div>
<div class="siteHeader__item siteHeaderButton is-site-header-item-selected">Inbox</div>
<div class="siteHeader__item siteHeaderButton">Sent</div>
<div class="siteHeader__item siteHeaderButton">Trash</div>
</div>
<!-- This section gets pushed to the right side-->
<div class="siteHeader__section">
<div class="siteHeader__item siteHeaderButton">Settings</div>
</div>
</div>
表单底部 Demo
你也许需要在表单底部放个进度圈或者验证反馈。和上面的例子类似,使用弹性盒子可以将这些内容和表单提交按钮分隔开来。
CSS 代码
.formFooter {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox, which is horizontal by default.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* Align the children in the center, along
* the main axis, which is horizontal in this case.
*/
align-items: center;
/**
* Make the container put as much space as possible
* between its children, with the children at either
* end laying flush against the container's edges.
*/
justify-content: space-between;
border-top: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
padding: 10px;
}
.formFooter__section {
/**
* This container orders items horizontally.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* It aligns them vertically in the center.
*/
align-items: center;
}
.formFooter__item + .formFooter__item {
margin-left: 5px;
}
.formFooterFeedback {
color: #86969C;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 0;
}
.formFooterSpinner {
animation: formFooterSpinner 1s infinite steps(8, end);
}
@keyframes formFooterSpinner {
0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
.button--clear {
color: #16A2D7;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
}
HTML 代码
<div class="formFooter">
<!-- This section gets pushed to the left side-->
<div class="formFooter__section">
<div class="formFooter__item formFooterFeedback">
<div class="fa fa-spinner formFooterSpinner"></div> Saving...
</div>
</div>
<!-- This section gets pushed to the right side-->
<div class="formFooter__section">
<div class="formFooter__item button button--clear">Reset</div>
<div class="formFooter__item button">Save</div>
</div>
</div>
侧边栏 Demo
这也是一个相当经典的组件。你甚至不需要 flexbox 来构造它,div 就足够了…… 不过,如果设计师让你把其中一个按钮单独拿到下面,你可以用 position: absolute
来处理,当然也可以用 flexbox。
除了 display: flex
和 justify-content: space-between
,我们还需要另一个属性:
flex-direction: column
会将主轴 (main axis) 从水平方向改为垂直方向。正如你所猜测的那样,现在子元素将会垂直排列了。
CSS 代码
.sideBar {
/**
* This container orders items according to flexbox
* rules. By default, this would arrange its children
* horizontally. However, the next property...
*/
display: flex;
/**
* ...sets the main axis to be vertical instead of
* horizontal, so now the children are laid out
* vertically, from top to bottom.
*/
flex-direction: column;
/**
* It will also put as much space as possible
* between its children, with the children at either end
* laying flush against the container's edges.
*/
justify-content: space-between;
height: 300px;
width: 150px;
border-right: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
background-color: #FCFDFD;
padding: 10px;
}
.sideBar__item {
cursor: pointer;
padding: 5px 10px;
color: #16A2D7;
font-size: 12px;
}
.sideBar__item.is-side-bar-item-selected {
background-color: #EEF3F5;
border-radius: 4px;
}
HTML 代码
<div class="sideBar">
<!-- This section gets pushed to the top-->
<div class="sideBar__section">
<div class="sideBar__item is-side-bar-item-selected">Inbox</div>
<div class="sideBar__item">Contacts</div>
<div class="sideBar__item">Account</div>
</div>
<!-- This section gets pushed to the bottom-->
<div class="sideBar__section">
<div class="sideBar__item">Legal</div>
</div>
</div>
居中提示 Demo
不使用 flexbox 的居中布局通常需要一些 hack 技巧,比如使用绝对布局然后通过 2D transform 平移。使用 flexbox,你只需要在容器元素设置 4 个属性:
display: flex
flex-direction: column
align-items: center
设置或检索弹性盒子元素在侧轴(纵轴)方向上的对齐方式。在这里和设置text-align: center
的效果有点类似。justify-content: center
子元素向主轴中心紧挨靠拢。
CSS 代码
.centeredPrompt {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* Rotate the main axis so that the children
* are laid out vertically, the same as in the
* above "Side bar" example.
*/
flex-direction: column;
/**
* Align the children in the center, along
* the main axis. Because the direction is
* "column" this has a similar effect as setting
* text-align: center.
*/
align-items: center;
/**
* Instead of pushing the children apart, as in
* previous examples, we will group them together
* in the center of their container.
*/
justify-content: center;
min-height: 300px;
padding: 10px;
}
.centeredPrompt__item + .centeredPrompt__item {
margin-top: 5px;
}
.centeredPromptIcon {
font-size: 60px;
line-height: 0;
}
.centeredPromptLabel {
color: #86969C;
font-size: 30px;
font-weight: 700;
text-align: center;
}
.centeredPromptDetails {
color: #86969C;
font-size: 16px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
.icon {
color: #BCD2DA;
}
HTML 代码
<div class="centeredPrompt">
<div class="centeredPrompt__item centeredPromptIcon">
<div class="icon fa fa-smile-o"></div>
</div>
<div class="centeredPrompt__item centeredPromptLabel">Welcome to the app!</div>
<div class="centeredPrompt__item centeredPromptDetails">Thanks for signing up. Let’s take a look around.</div>
<div class="centeredPrompt__item button">Begin tour</div>
</div>
居中图标 Demo
使用同样的方法,我们还可以居中更多东西,比如图标。
CSS 代码
.centeredIcon {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* As in the above "Centered prmopt" example,
* we'll rotate the main axis so that the children
* are ordered vertically.
*/
flex-direction: column;
/**
* And just like in that example, align the children
* in the center, along the main axis.
*/
align-items: center;
/**
* Same thing here as before: group the children
* together in the center of their container.
*/
justify-content: center;
border: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
font-size: 40px;
width: 90px;
height: 90px;
border-radius: 100%;
box-shadow:
0 2px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05),
0 2px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05),
0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}
HTML 代码
<div class="centeredIcon">
<div class="icon fa fa-phone"></div>
</div>
功能列表 Demo
在这个列表中,其中一行是反向排列的,实现方法很简单,只需要添加一个 flexbox 属性:
flex-direction: row-reverse
把容器中的子元素按照 HTML 中的顺序反向排列。
CSS 代码
.featureListItem {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox, which is horizontal by default.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* Align the children in the center, along
* the main axis, which is horizontal in this case.
*/
align-items: center;
max-width: 400px;
padding: 10px;
}
.featureListItem + .featureListItem {
border-top: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
}
.featureListItem--reverse {
/**
* We can specify the flex-direction so that
* the children elements are displayed in the
* reverse order of how they appear in the
* markup.
*/
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
.featureListItem__icon,
.featureListItem__description {
padding: 5px 15px;
}
.featureListItem__icon {
font-size: 50px;
line-height: 0;
}
.featureListItem__description {
color: #86969C;
font-size: 12px;
}
HTML 代码
<div class="featureListItem">
<div class="featureListItem__icon">
<div class="icon fa fa-calendar"></div>
</div>
<div class="featureListItem__description">The calendar feature makes scheduling a snap.</div>
</div>
<div class="featureListItem featureListItem--reverse">
<div class="featureListItem__icon">
<div class="icon fa fa-dashboard"></div>
</div>
<div class="featureListItem__description">Our dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye-view-at-a-glance-on-the-go.</div>
</div>
<div class="featureListItem">
<div class="featureListItem__icon">
<div class="icon fa fa-envelope"></div>
</div>
<div class="featureListItem__description">You can get notified by email or SMS.</div>
</div>
卡片 Demo
接下来复习一下,这个卡片的组件用到了此前提到的属性。
- display: flex
- flex-direction: column
- align-items: center
- justify-content: center
这里没什么新的知识点,但是为我们接下来要介绍的卡片组做了铺垫。
CSS 代码
.card {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox, which is horizontal by default.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* Rotate the main axis so that the children
* are laid out vertically.
*/
flex-direction: column;
border: 1px solid #CAD0D2;
border-radius: 4px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.card__description {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox.
*/
display: flex;
/**
* We're going to lay out this element's children
* just like in the "Centered prompt" example.
* First we'll rotate the main axis so that the
* children are laid out vertically.
*/
flex-direction: column;
/**
* Just like in the "Centered prompt" example,
* we'll align the children in the center, along
* the main axis.
*/
align-items: center;
/**
* And just like in the "Centered prompt", we'll
* group the children in the center of their
* container.
*/
justify-content: center;
padding: 15px;
}
.card__descriptionIcon {
font-size: 32px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.card__descriptionText {
color: #57727C;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
}
.card__price {
text-align: center;
color: #57727C;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: 700;
padding: 5px 15px;
border-top: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
background-color: #EEF3F5;
}
.card--fixedWidth {
max-width: 120px;
}
HTML 代码
<div class="card card--fixedWidth">
<div class="card__description">
<div class="icon fa fa-flask card__descriptionIcon"></div>
<div class="card__descriptionText">Science potion</div>
</div>
<div class="card__price">Costs $5</div>
</div>
卡片组 Demo
现在我们来学习最后一个 “卡片组” 组件。我们需要考虑两个麻烦的地方:
- 我们想要每个卡片的宽度相等,但是里面包含的内容多少可能各不相同。
- 我们想要所有的卡片注释高度相等,同样,每张卡片的注释长度也不相等。
不适用 flexbox,你可能会想到使用 table
元素来实现这些需求,或者对所有元素使用绝对布局,并组合使用百分比、像素和 calc() 来实现。这样也太复杂了。
使用弹性盒子,整个问题的解决方案就变得优雅多了。这里我们引入一个新的属性,但是和之前我们提到的属性不同,这个属性应用在 子元素 而不是容器。
我们为每张卡片设置 flex: 1 1 0
,使得每张卡片的宽度相等。这个属性是以下三个属性的简写方法:
flex-grow: 1
设置或检索弹性盒的扩展比率。默认值为 0,我们设置为 1,此时卡片会尽可能扩展以填充容器。flex-shrink: 1
设置或检索弹性盒的收缩比率。默认值为 1。我们设置为 1,此时卡片会尽可能收缩以适应容器。flex-basis: 0
设置或检索弹性盒伸缩基准值。设置为 0 的时候,其大小仅由容器的大小所决定。
这些属性满足了第一点要求。对于我们的第二个要求,我们可以对 flex 属性稍作调整,改成 flex: 1 1 auto
。
flex-basis: auto
导致卡片注释的高度自适应,意思就是最长的注释框拥有最大的高度。由于注释同时拥有flex-grow: 1
属性,因此较短注释的卡片会自动伸长来适配容器高度。
CSS 代码
.cardGroup {
/**
* Lay out the children of this container with
* flexbox, which is horizontal by default.
*/
display: flex;
border: 1px solid #CAD0D2;
border-radius: 4px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.cardGroup__card {
/**
* The flex property is a short-hand for setting
* the flex-shrink, flex-grow, and flex-basis
* properties. These properties control how the
* element resizes to fill its container.
*
* We'll also set flex-grow to 1 so that it
* will expand to fill its container. (The
* default value is 0.)
*
* We'll set flex-shrink to 1 so that the element
* will shrink as its container gets smaller.
* (The default value is 1.)
*
* Last, we set flex-basis to 0 so that its
* size is solely determined by the size of
* the container. (The default value
* is auto, which would cause the content's
* size to also be a factor in this calculation.)
*
* The net result of these properties is that the
* element is a fluid size, and will expand and
* shrink with its container and siblings, but
* they will all have the same size, even if they
* have different amounts of content.
*/
flex: 1 1 0;
border: none;
border-radius: 0;
}
.cardGroup__card + .cardGroup__card {
border-left: 1px solid #D7DBDD;
}
.cardGroup__cardDescription {
/**
* We're doing almost the exact same thing here as
* we did above. The difference is that its
* flex-basis is auto, so now the size of its content
* will affect how large it is.
*/
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
