I have a paper element (div with A4 size), displaying informations enterred by the user (using Context API in Reactjs).
What I want is, in case the paper element is full of text, add another paper and display the remaining informations in it.
this is my code.
<Paper>
<div class="page" data-size="A4">
<Grid container xs={12} direction="column" justify="center" >
<Typography className={classes.title} variant="h5">Experiences </Typography>
<personalInfo.Consumer>
{( {experience} ) => (
experience.map((exp,i) => {
return(
<div key={i}>
<Grid container xs={12} spacing={false}>
<Grid xs={3}>
<Typography className={classes.dates}>
{exp.startdate}-{exp.enddate}<br/>
{exp.city},{exp.country}
</Typography>
</Grid>
<Grid xs={8}>
<Typography >
<h4>{exp.job}</h4>
{exp.employer}
<br/>
{exp.description}
</Typography>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</div>
)})
)}
<personalInfo.Consumer>
</Grid>
</div>
</Paper>```
I'm having a very difficult time trying to achieve something simple with the Grid Component from MaterialUI. Specifically, I'd like to align one item to the left, and another to the right on one layout row.
I've searched extensively, and have not found any solutions that work. I've tried many suggestions, including the use of justifyContent and alignContent within a Grid component, and within JSS, and the flex: 1 technique of 'pushing' content.
Relevant Code Snippets
Trying to put the <Typography> element on the left, and the <FormGroup> on the right:
<Container>
<Grid container spacing={3}>
<Grid className={classes.rowLayout}>
// Goal is to align this to the LEFT
<Grid item xs={6}>
<Typography variant="h6" gutterBottom>Some Text</Typography>
</Grid>
// Goal is to align this to the RIGHT
<Grid item xs={3}>
<FormGroup>
// Simple `Switch` button goes here
</FormGroup>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Container>
MaterialUI JSS styling:
const useStyles = makeStyles(theme => ({
root: {
flexGrow: 1,
width: '100%'
},
rowLayout: {
display: 'flex',
alignItems: 'baseline'
},
}));
I'm also finding that, generally speaking, this is requiring the use of many Grid components, and I'd love to write cleaner code if possible.
Do you have any tips or fixes to this problem?
Thanks a million,

I'm using this at the moment and it works well to align one to the far left, and one to the far right.
Inspired from: How to align flexbox columns left and right?
const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
right: {
marginLeft: 'auto'
}
}));
<Grid container alignItems="center">
<Grid>
<Typography variant="h4" component="h4">Left</Typography>
</Grid>
<Grid className={classes.right}>
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">Right</Button>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I used a different approach to list one grid item to right. Similar approach can be use to show grid items to right and one at left.
<Grid container>
<Grid item>Left</Grid>
<Grid item xs>
<Grid container direction="row-reverse">
<Grid item>Right</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I think the best option here is to use flex like this:
const useStyles = makeStyles(theme => ({
root: {
flexGrow: 1,
width: '100%'
},
rowLayout: {
display: 'flex',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
alignItems: 'center' // To be vertically aligned
},
}));
As a second choice (and for me the best since you are using Material UI at its fullest expression which if you are using it, it's the best thing to do. Use the library as much as you can) you could do something like this:
<Container>
<Grid container spacing={3}>
<Grid container direction="row" justify="space-between" alignItems="center">
// Goal is to align this to the LEFT
<Grid item xs={6}>
<Typography variant="h6" gutterBottom>Some Text</Typography>
</Grid>
// Goal is to align this to the RIGHT
<Grid item xs={3}>
<FormGroup>
// Simple `Switch` button goes here
</FormGroup>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Container>
I have solved a similar issue using justifyContent on each of the Grid items.
<Container>
<Grid container spacing={3} alignItems="baseline">
<Grid item xs={6} sx={{
justifyContent: "flex-start"
}}>
<Typography variant="h6" gutterBottom>Some Text</Typography>
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={3} sx={{
display: "flex",
justifyContent: "flex-end"
}}>
<FormGroup>
<Typography variant="h6" gutterBottom>Some Switch</Typography>
</FormGroup>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Container>

I'm trying to achieve a two column layout, both of them equal height and each taking half of the screen. Picture explains it better, here is one.
The not working code is as follows:
import React from "react";
import { makeStyles } from "#material-ui/core/styles";
import CssBaseline from "#material-ui/core/CssBaseline";
import Grid from "#material-ui/core/Grid";
import Paper from "#material-ui/core/Paper";
const useStyles = makeStyles(theme => ({
root: {
flexGrow: 1,
alignItems: "stretch"
},
column: {
flexDirection: "column"
},
paper: {
padding: theme.spacing(2),
textAlign: "center",
color: theme.palette.text.secondary
}
}));
export default props => {
const classes = useStyles();
return (
<>
<CssBaseline />
<Grid container className={classes.root}>
{/* COLUMN ONE */}
<Grid container item className={classes.column}>
<Grid item xs={6}>
<Paper className={classes.paper}>1: xs=6</Paper>
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={6}>
<Paper className={classes.paper}>1: xs=6</Paper>
</Grid>
<Grid container item>
<Grid item xs={3}>
<Paper className={classes.paper}>1: xs=3 left</Paper>
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={3}>
<Paper className={classes.paper}>1: xs=3 right</Paper>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
{/* COLUMN TWO */}
<Grid container item className={classes.column}>
<Grid item xs={6}>
<Paper className={classes.paper}>2: xs=6</Paper>
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={6}>
<Paper className={classes.paper}>2: xs=6</Paper>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</>
);
};

Could someone explain me what am I doing wrong here?
There's a bug with Material UI way of laying out nested grid containers, here. The workaround - found by #londonoliver - is to nest containers inside the grid items:
<Grid container direction="row">
<Grid item>
<Grid container direction="column">
<Grid item>1</Grid>
<Grid item>2</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
<Grid item>
<Grid container direction="column">
<Grid item>3</Grid>
<Grid item>4</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
How can we place component above other components without braking responsive layout?
I have such layout:
<Grid container justify='center'>
<Grid item style={{ height: '100vh', width: '100%' }}>
... some background elements ...
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={12} sm={8} md={6} lg={4}>
... some input element on paper ...
</Grid>
</Grid>
I've tried to set position: absolute:
<Grid item xs={12} sm={8} md={6} lg={4} style={{position: 'absolute'}}>
It works but breaks the xs={12} sm={8} md={6} lg={4} breakpoint changes
How can I place one Grid item above other Grid item in a Grid? (material-ui.com)
I'm breaking my head over this. I'm using a Grid container, which contains two grids. One with a textfield , and one with a Checkbox . The grids refuses to align correctly.
<Grid container>
<Grid item sm={2}>
<TextField
id="filter"
label={labels.filterHelperText}
value={this.props.brokersListFilter}
onChange={this.onFilterChange}
InputProps={{
startAdornment: (
<InputAdornment position="start">
<FilterListIcon />
</InputAdornment>
)
}}
/>
</Grid>
<Grid item sm={1}>
<FormControlLabel
className={this.props.classes.checkbox}
control={
<Checkbox
checked={this.props.activeAgentsOnly}
onChange={this.props.setActiveAgentsOnly}
color="primary"
/>
}
label={labels.isActive}
/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
With this code, the spacing are too large... If I change the first inner grid to sm={1} , then both grid overlap each other(how is it even possible if they're on different grids ?) I need to somehow make the gap between those two grids smaller .. How can I do that?
Over lapping:
Not over lapping:
Please update grid items like
<Grid item sm={2}>
to
<Grid item sm={6}>
<Grid item sm={6}>
Should equal 12. 8+4 or 6+6 or so on.....
