Support grid

[dbaynard]

It needs a new module.

I would like to help create this.

1. What is the best file to pattern off of for this, src/Clay/FlexBox.hs?
2. Is https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid-1/ a good reference for the grid spec?

Yes Clay.FlexBox is a good module to study. I always use MDN docs for web stuff, they have really high quality docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/grid I’ll just search “mdn <term>” like “mdn css grid” and it pops right up on DuckDuckGo I would be happy to review the code when you get something together and help however I can. I’m in the process of moving and starting a new job, but I’m also heavily invested in Clay and want to see it succeed. (FYI I’ve thought about forking this repo and applying some patches I’ve made myself in a closed codebase, but haven’t found the time to yet)

I offered to help maintain clay but despite a positive response, the repo owner never made any moves.

I've written some extras in dbaynard/cascade (it was meant to be a high level wrapper with examples of styles but it has mutated a little.)

As it happens, there are design choices made in clay that I think might be improved, so I'm holding off on repeating my offer until I've investigated these alternatives.

@dbaynard Which other ones have you seen that you like?

[dbaynard]

@BebeSparkelSparkel I don't quite understand your question, but if you mean other design choices: something which integrates with a parser, or the technique used by https://hackage.haskell.org/package/type-of-html.

Hi @dbaynard, new maintainer here. Sounds like a good and popular feature to support. If you have an idea how to approach this, feel free to create a PR, I'll review and merge :)

Stale issue message

[turion]

@BebeSparkelSparkel are you interested in this issue and would like to contribute?

[BebeSparkelSparkel]

@turion Sorry haven't looked at this for a while. I have switched to Shakespeare Lucius for now.
I do like how clay has much better type support and will come back when I have finished the biparsing package I am working on now.

Also, I see that clay has new maintainers, have you been refactoring/updating the core?

[turion]

@BebeSparkelSparkel Yes, I'm the new maintainer currently. (More would be welcome.) I haven't done any refactoring, and no plans to do that, since I'm no clay nor CSS expert. I currently only do the communication, PR reviews, keeping CI alive, and so on.

[turion]

Glad to hear you want to come back to clay :) Feel free to reopen this issue and work on it. Also, if you have bigger refactoring plans, I'll review them and work on them with you.

Grid is a killer css feature. I would love to see it in Clay.
