Agenda
Responsive Websites & Grid-Based Layouts:
1. Overview
2. Edit Responsive Layouts
3. Setup Responsive Editing
4. Develop for the Grid

Overview

Adaptive vs Responsive
Adaptive
The server response will change to adapt to a defined set of screen size.
➔ Server-side device detection through a database of user-agents
➔ Consequence: Diﬀerent URLs for diﬀerent devices
Responsive
The design will fluidly change and respond to fit any screen size.
➔ Client-side feature detection through media queries
➔ Consequence: Same content delivered to all visitors

Making Content Responsive
Traditional workflow
• A designer mocks the diﬀerent breakpoints
• A developer implements the mocks 
for a specific template
• The author picks that template 
and fills the content
Responsive layout editing
• The author fills the content
• The author can adapt the layout

Setup Responsive Editing

0. Enable the Responsive Emulator
Register page components for simulation
➔ List the sling:resourceType of your pages in an OSGi config for
com.day.cq.wcm.mobile.core.impl.MobileEmulatorProvider
Specify the device groups
➔ On jcr:content node of the site root, add the following property: 
jcr:content[nt:unstructured] 
@cq:deviceGroups=["/etc/mobile/groups/responsive"]

1. Enable the Layouting Mode
Specify the breakpoints
➔ On jcr:content node of the site root, add following node structure: 
cq:responsive[nt:unstructured] 
breakpoints[nt:unstructured] 
phone[nt:unstructured] 
@title="Smaller Screen" 
@width=650 
tablet[nt:unstructured] 
@title="Tablet" 
@width=1200

2. Enable the Responsive Grid
Use the responsive paragraph system
➔ Replace the parsys with the responsive one: 
@resourceType="wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid"
Include the responsive stylesheet
➔ Copy the following file into your client library: 
/etc/designs/geometrixx-media/clientlibs/css/grid.less
➔ Adapt the breakpoints and the number of columns to your needs

3. Configure the Parsys Design Mode
Enable Layout Nesting
➔ In the General group of allowed components: 
Authorize the Layout Container component
Define the number of columns
➔ If your parsys doesn’t exactly take 12 columns: 
Set a value for the Columns input field

Develop for the Grid

A Project’s Grid Configuration
@import (once) "/etc/clientlibs/wcm/foundation/grid/grid_base.less";
/* maximum amount of grid cells to be provided */
@max_col: 12;
.aem-Grid {
.generate-grid(default, @max_col);
}
/* smaller screen (phone) breakpoint */
@media (max-width: 650px) {
.aem-Grid {
.generate-grid(phone, @max_col);
}
}
/* tablet breakpoint */
@media (min-width: 651px) and (max-width: 1200px) {
.aem-Grid {
.generate-grid(tablet, @max_col);
}
}

Persistence in JCR Content
The component size is saved on the resource node 
parsys[nt:unstructured] 
image[cq:Component] 
@sling:resourceType="wcm/foundation/components/image" 
... 
cq:responsive[nt:unstructured] 
default[nt:unstructured] 
@width=4 
phone[nt:unstructured] 
@width=12

<div class="aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn—default--2">

@max_col);

Nested Grid
➔ The grid system is global
➔ AEM will take care of
inheriting the width
