Refactor Claro's "node form" layout to not use floats

Created on 20 June 2022, about 2 years ago
Updated 19 March 2023, over 1 year ago

Claro's node form's layout is handled by floats that were originally written for the Seven theme back in the dark ages of CSS.

This task is to refactor this to use either Grid of Flexbox. There should be no visual or functional differences. Care must be taken not to break focus order.

    Not sure if #10.2 has been addressed either.

    Will need screenshots since .css file changed.

    Only nit picky maybe could be
    .layout-region--node-footer .layout-region__content
    but don't think that will hold up the issue.

    Unfortunately, this introduces some regressions with RTL.

    Uploading this as a patch, since it's a radical departure from the MR above.

    IMO, this CSS could be radically simplified.

    Because there's multiple rows, it's much easier to use grid than flex
    Both grid and flex have built in RTL support, we should make use of that using the gap property

    I ended up refactoring this down to 32 lines of CSS (from 80 in the MR) and IMHO is easier to understand. PCSS is below (for better readability) and patch is attached.

    /**
     * Layout overrides for node add/edit form.
     */
    .layout-region {
      box-sizing: border-box;
    }
    
    .layout-region--node-footer .layout-region__content {
      margin-top: var(--space-l);
    }
    
    /**
     * Move to two column layout at wider widths.
     */
    @media (min-width: 61rem) {
      .layout-node-form {
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: 3fr minmax(360px, 1fr);
        gap: var(--space-l);
      }
    
      .layout-region--node-main,
      .layout-region--node-footer {
        margin-inline: auto;
        width: min(832px, 100%);
      }
    
      /* Push sidebar down to horizontal align with form section. */
      .layout-region--node-secondary {
        margin-block-start: var(--space-l);
      }
    }
