Salesforce Lightning Grid System Chrome Extension

The Salesforce Lightning Grid System is a powerful Chrome extension built to simplify the process of creating responsive grid layouts for Lightning Web Components (LWCs). Whether you’re developing with SLDS UI, Aura, or LWCs, this tool offers a streamlined solution to manage layouts efficiently across devices and screen sizes.

Key Features:

  • Customisable Grid Layouts: Add as many rows and columns as needed, with full flexibility to define different column sizes for each row.
  • Device-Specific Adjustments: Adjust column sizes specifically for mobile, tablet, and desktop, ensuring your layout is optimised for any screen size.
  • Real-Time Layout Preview: Use the “Run” button to preview the layout on different screen sizes or device types, allowing for easier responsive design.
  • Export Ready-to-Use HTML Code: Once your layout is complete, simply press the “Result” button to generate HTML code that’s compatible with SLDS UI, Aura, or LWC.

This code can be directly copied and integrated into your project, saving time and ensuring consistency with Salesforce’s design standards.
