The vf-sidebar is a media query—less layout component that will alter the layout from inline to block depending on set parameters.
You can apply the vf-sidebar
layout when you have two columns of content with one (if needed) being smaller than the other. When the browser width is small enough so that the 'main' content does not have enough space to be inline with the 'sidebar' it will make both pieces of content act and look like 'block' elements, stacked on top of each other.
By default the width of the main content is set at 50%
but can be changed with the CSS custom property --vf-sidebar-main-width
which, if using nunjucks can be changed with the yaml key sidebar__main_content_width
.
Even thought the vf-sidebar
layout has a default spacing design token applied as a CSS custom property fallback it is good practice in the system to use and decalre the spacing CSS class name in your project.

Class Name | description | usage |
---|---|---|
vf-sidebar |
The layout components default Class | needs to be used once on instances of the vf-sidebar layout component |
vf-sidebar--start |
Expects the first child element to be the smallest | |
vf-sidebar--end |
Expects the last child element to be the smallest | |
vf-sidebar--Nn |
Determines the spacing of the layout when the components are inline or stacked (Nn refers to the spacing value) |
CSS Custom Property | Description |
---|---|
--vf-sidebar-main-width | can be used inline on the parent to determine when the layout changes. It sets a minimum width on the larger child element |
--vf-sidebar-spacing | sets the spacing between the gitwo child elements. This is set using a class name vf-sidebar--Nn |
nunjucjs /yaml key |
nunjucjs /yaml value |
description |
---|---|---|
sidebar__position | left | use when the smallest width content (sidebar) is on the left or at the start |
sidebar__position | start | use when the smallest width content (sidebar) is on the start or at the left |
sidebar__position | right | use when the smallest width content (sidebar) is on the right or at the end |
sidebar__position | end | use when the smallest width content (sidebar) is on the end or at the right |
sidebar__spacing | 400 | gives the space of 1rem between the two child elements |
sidebar__spacing | 600 | gives the space of 1.5rem between the two child elements |
sidebar__spacing | 800 | gives the space of 2rem between the two child elements |
sidebar__main_content_width | Nn% | sets the CSS custom property --vf-sidebar-main-width on the vf-sibebar parent which sets the maximum space the larger width content needs to be before switching from an inline layout to a block layout. This is set in the CSS as 50% by default |
Depending on your environment you'll want to use render
or include
. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include
, precompiled browser use render
. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include
.
include
You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include
is an abstraction of render
and provides some additional portability.
{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = {
"component-type": "layout",
"sidebar_position": "left"
}
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-sidebar/vf-sidebar.njk" %}
render
This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include
is not be available.
