Aksel: Responsivt layout med spacing tokens

Referanse for å bygge responsive layouts med Aksel v8+. Hent oppdatert dokumentasjon fra https://aksel.nav.no/llm.md ved behov.

v8-BRUDD: Tokens = pixelverdi direkte. --ax-space-4 = 4px (ikke 16px!). Bruk alltid tallverdien som matcher ønsket px.

Spacing-tokens

Token name = eksakt pikselverdi. Full referanse: design-tokens

CSS-variabler

.my-element {
  padding: var(--ax-space-16); /* 16px */
  gap: var(--ax-space-8); /* 8px */
  margin-block: var(--ax-space-32); /* 32px */
  padding-inline: var(--ax-space-24) var(--ax-space-48);
}

Breakpoints og ResponsiveProp

Alle layout-primitives aksepterer responsiv objektverdi (mobil-first). Full referanse: brekkpunkter

// ResponsiveProp-syntaks – verdi per breakpoint (mobil-first)
<HStack gap={{ xs: "space-8", md: "space-24" }} />
<Box padding={{ xs: "space-16", md: "space-32", lg: "space-48" }} />
<HGrid columns={{ xs: 1, sm: 2, lg: 3 }} />

Utelatte breakpoints arver fra nærmeste definerte nedenfra.

Layout Primitives

Box

Fleksibelt layout-element. Brukes til padding, bakgrunn, border og posisjonering.

Props: padding, paddingBlock, paddingInline, paddingBlockStart, paddingBlockEnd, paddingInlineStart, paddingInlineEnd, margin, marginBlock, marginInline, width, height, minWidth, maxWidth, overflow, background, borderColor, borderWidth, borderRadius, shadow, as, asChild

import { Box } from "@navikt/ds-react";

<Box padding="space-16">Innhold</Box>

// Responsiv padding
<Box
  padding={{ xs: "space-16", md: "space-32" }}
  paddingInline={{ xs: "space-16", lg: "space-48" }}
>
  Innhold
</Box>

// asChild – send props til eksisterende element
<Box asChild padding="space-24">
  <main>Innhold</main>
</Box>

HStack

Horisontal flex-container.

Props: gap, align, justify, wrap, as, asChild

import { HStack } from "@navikt/ds-react";

<HStack gap="space-16" align="center" justify="space-between">
  <Logo />
  <NavLinks />
</HStack>

// Responsiv gap
<HStack gap={{ xs: "space-8", md: "space-24" }} wrap={false}>
  <Item />
  <Item />
</HStack>

align: "start" | "center" | "end" | "baseline" | "stretch" (flex align-items) justify: "start" | "center" | "end" | "space-between" | "space-around" | "space-evenly" (flex justify-content)

VStack

Vertikal flex-container.

Props: gap, align, justify, as, asChild

import { VStack } from "@navikt/ds-react";

<VStack gap="space-24">
  <Section />
  <Section />
</VStack>

// Responsiv gap
<VStack gap={{ xs: "space-16", md: "space-32" }}>

Stack

Kombinert HStack/VStack med responsiv retning.

import { Stack } from "@navikt/ds-react";

// Kolonne på mobil, rad på desktop
<Stack
  direction={{ xs: "column", sm: "row" }}
  gap={{ xs: "space-16", sm: "space-24" }}
  align={{ sm: "center" }}
>
  <LeftContent />
  <RightContent />
</Stack>;

HGrid

CSS Grid-basert. For kolonnelayout.

Props: columns, gap, align, as, asChild

import { HGrid } from "@navikt/ds-react";

// Fast antall kolonner
<HGrid columns={3} gap="space-24">

// Responsivt koloneantall
<HGrid columns={{ xs: 1, sm: 2, lg: 3 }} gap={{ xs: "space-16", md: "space-24" }}>

// CSS grid-string for avanserte oppsett
<HGrid columns="repeat(auto-fit, minmax(16rem, 1fr))" gap="space-16">

// Ulik gap horisontal/vertikal
<HGrid columns={2} gap={{ xs: "space-16 space-8" }}>
//                                   ↑ block  ↑ inline

align: "start" | "center" | "end" (CSS align-items på grid)

Page og Page.Block

Standardisert sidelayout med header/footer-støtte. Full API: page

import { Page } from "@navikt/ds-react";

<Page footer={<Footer />} footerPosition="belowFold" contentBlockPadding="end">
  <Header />
  <Page.Block as="main" width="xl" gutters>
    {/* Innhold */}
  </Page.Block>
</Page>;

Page.Block widths: "text" (576px) | "md" (768px) | "lg" (1024px) | "xl" (1280px) | "2xl" (1440px) gutters = padding-inline: 3rem (>md), 1rem (≤md).

Bleed

Negativ margin – bryt ut av container-padding.

Props: marginInline, marginBlock, reflectivePadding

import { Bleed } from "@navikt/ds-react";

// Strekk bilde over container-padding
<Bleed marginInline="space-24">
  <FullWidthImage />
</Bleed>

// Kombinert bleed
<Bleed marginInline="space-32" marginBlock="space-16">
  <Banner />
</Bleed>

reflectivePadding: legg til tilsvarende padding inni, slik at innholdet ikke klemmes.

Spacer

Fyller tilgjengelig plass i flex-container (flex: 1 1 auto).

import { Spacer } from "@navikt/ds-react";

<HStack>
  <Logo />
  <Spacer /> {/* Skyver resten til høyre */}
  <NavItems />
</HStack>;

Show og Hide

Conditionally skjul/vis innhold per breakpoint. Bruker CSS display-egenskap (ingen JS).

import { Show, Hide } from "@navikt/ds-react";

<Hide below="md"><DesktopMenu /></Hide>   
<Show below="md"><MobileMenu /></Show>    

<Hide above="lg"><CompactView /></Hide>   
<Show above="lg"><FullView /></Show>      

Props: above | below (breakpoint-nøkkel: sm | md | lg | xl | 2xl)
