How to add spacing between columns in AEM grid

Avatar

Former Community Member

We are on 6.5.3. Like in CSS/bootstrap, there is a property to add the spacing between grid columns. I would like to know if there is any way to achieve this in AEM Grid? We need to add some gaps to ensure content doesn't stick together when content is placed inside the column grids.

@Deleted Account,

In a clean AEM project, you can manipulate the clientlib-grid/less/grid.less. Take a look at the latest AEM maven archtype project, https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype/tree/98f3b4efa9834437881b31a336459abe6a89ad00/src/main/archetype/ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/__appId__/clientlibs/clientlib-grid/less

Hi @BrianKasingli - yea, this is the option we have kept as last resort. But we would like to check if there is a declarative way from AEM grid, for example specifying the spacing in some property.

Hi @Deleted Account,

.generate-offsets from the file /libs/wcm/foundation/clientlibs/grid/grid_base.less has the related definition. (This file is imported to our grid.less file)

See if you can make use of this in grid.less file based on your need.
