layoutkomponenter

Layoutkomponenter are modular building blocks used to organize and control the placement of content on a screen or page. They define regions and their relationships, handling spacing, alignment, and responsiveness to create a coherent structure.

In web development, common layout components include containers that limit width, grids or rows and columns for alignment, and semantic sections such as header, navigation, main content, aside, and footer. Layout often relies on CSS techniques like flexbox and CSS grid, and on framework components that provide ready-made patterns for responsive behavior. These components help ensure consistency across pages and simplify maintenance.

In design systems and UI libraries, layout components describe how content adapts to different screen sizes, for example through breakpoints, fluid widths, and stacking at small screens. They may also include elements for app chrome such as sidebars, drawers, toolbars, and scaffolds that establish a consistent global structure across an application.

In mobile and desktop applications, layout components help maintain a consistent navigation and content region, including elements like top app bars, bottom navigation, panels, and drawers. They are often implemented as reusable components that can be composed to build different screens while preserving a uniform look and feel.

Accessibility and semantics are important when working with layoutkomponenter: use meaningful elements and roles, ensure keyboard focus order and readable contrast, and design layouts that work with screen readers and assistive technologies. Best practices include keeping layouts modular, minimizing deep nesting, documenting component props and behavior, and testing across devices and orientations.
