Blueprint nested containers - css

I am having a Fluid Grid System container nested into another container.
<div class="fluid_grid_layout">
<div class="six_column section">
<div class="three column">
<div class="six_column section">
<div class="two column">part</div>
<div class="four column">part</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="three column">boko</div>
</div>
</div>
How this can be achieved using Blueprint 1.0?
Is it posible to have one container inside another which allows you finer(more granular control) of the nested content?

Aparently this is not possible in Blueprint. I ended up using Fluid Grid System from http://fluid.newgoldleaf.com/.

How to compare Angular Flex Layout to Bootstrap 4 grid system?

I'm used to work with Bootstrap and for me the grid system is very clear in my head. Now, I'm trying to use the Angular Flex Layout and, even reading the documentation, I'm not understanding how exactly to use it.
For instance, I have the following code using Bootstrap 4:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8 col-lg-4">
Something...
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8 col-lg-4">
Something...
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8 col-lg-4">
Something...
</div>
</div>
</div>
How could I write the same code using Angular Flex Layout??
In angular-flex-layout we don't have a grid so you would have to approach it this way to achieve same result as using bootstrap grid system:
<div fxLayout="row wrap"
fxLayout.sm="column" >
<div fxFlex.lg="33.333%" fxFlex.md="66.667%" fxFlex.lt-sm="100%" style="background-color:red">
first-section
</div>
<div fxFlex.lg="33.333%" fxFlex.md="66.667%" fxFlex.lt-sm="100%" style="background-color:blue">
second-section
</div>
<div fxFlex.lg="33.333%" fxFlex.md="66.667%" fxFlex.lt-sm="100%" style="background-color:yellow">
third-section
</div>
</div>
do mind that responsive break points could be different.

Bootstrap 4 div padding issue

I am using this structure but
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card">
Your card
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card">
Your card
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card">
Your card
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card">
Your card
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card">
Your card
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card">
Your card
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card">
Your card
</div>
</div>
</div>
For some reason the has as much padding as it would take to "match" the next div in the horizontal row. For example, if the first div is text, then the second is text, and the third is an image...the first two divs "grow" to be the size of the third. I thought with this Bootstrap 4 it was supposed to be flexible? Thanks.
Bootstrap 4 utilizes flexbox (display: flex) for a lot of it's layout, including it's cards. That is the reason that all the cards grow in accordance to it's siblings. You can learn more about flexboxes here:
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
and
https://demos.scotch.io/visual-guide-to-css3-flexbox-flexbox-playground/demos/
You're using col-sm-4 which will make all the columns be the same size which may be what you're referring to as the first two divs grow. If you mean something else, I would look into how Bootstrap 4 works with flexbox which may also help you understand how the columns act in Bootstrap 4
Sometimes the images can push out the divs. Set a style to the image to be width: 100% and see if that makes any difference
Ok this works. Thanks everyone above for your help, I took many things from it to get the answer. It turns out if I'm reading this correctly flex itself won't allow for "three columns with shrunken divs" so one div can be bigger than the others but they all shrink to their own respective sizes around their content. So I used Masonry. I just included the .js in my head section as a script reference then added the below. If you aren't using .NET (meaning you're using PHP) just erase out the itemtemplate and repeater stuff...the code is the same for you.
<div class="row" style="display:flex;" data-masonry='{ "gutter": 0, "itemSelector": ".col-4" }'>
<asp:repeater id="ItemsList" runat="server">
<div class="card">

Information on same row but different columns

I am having trouble with my css. I am trying to have my contact information, the quote, and my contact form to be in the same row but different columns. And also why is it that my html doesn't all fit on one page, I can scroll to the rigth and there's just empty white space. I figure its because I added -1.23em in my navbars margin; However, I only did this because my navbar was not filling the whole page. Here is a link to my gist and bitballon. Thank you in advance.

You have a .row div in the nested directly under the body on line 103 that is causing the page to spread past 100% width
Bootstrap requires a containing element to wrap site contents and
house our grid system. You may choose one of two containers to use in
your projects. Note that, due to padding and more, neither container
is nestable. bootstrap containers
Regarding the contact info your nesting and class names are not correct, you currently have the following:
<div class="container-fluid" id="contact">
<div class="row">
<div class="column">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-12">
<div id="quote">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4">
<div class="contact">...</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<form>
you will need to change this to follow bootstrap3 grid conventions, something like the following:
<div class="container">
<div class="row" id="contact">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div id="quote">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="contact">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<form>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Bootstrap columns within another columns

I am trying to include a bootstrap grid inside another grid and make sure it is still responsive but on larger screens the child grid doesnt collapse.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">First column content</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="row">
<!-- child grid -->
<div class="col-md-6"><img class="img-responsive" src="http://placehold.it/350x150"></div>
<div class="col-md-6">column content</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
bootsplay link: http://www.bootply.com/PCMV1BF4YF
the child grid should collapse in larger screens because the width of the parent class is already small. Is it possible to get around this issue?
Inner col-*-* should also be contained in a row. Read the Bootstrap docs on nesting
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">First column content</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6"><img class="img-responsive" src="http://placehold.it/350x150"></div>
<div class="col-lg-6">Second column content</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Make the inner grid col-lg-* if you want it to stack/collapse before the outer grid does. The breakpoint (when the columns stack) depends on the viewport width, not the width of the parent container.
Also, instead of overriding the Bootstrap container, use a custom class.

How to make fluid layout using Bootstrap4

I'm switching to bootstrap4 today. I enabled flexbox in _variables.scss yet I'm confused about what exactly is flexbox capabilities of bootstrap4. For example
How can I make flex-direction:column?
Is it possible to have a column with fluid width? flex-grow?
I have this markup to build a full height sidebar layout
<div class="flex-col">
<div class="flex-row" id="topnav">
<div class="flex"> <!-- this will grow -->
Brand
</div>
<div> left navbar</div>
</div>
<div class=" flex flex-row"> <!--flex expand to fill full height -->
<div class="sidebar">Sidebar</div>
<div class="flex">Content</div> <!--take rest of row space-->
</div>
</div>
How can I achieve this with bootstrap flexbox?
Read the docs at: http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/layout/flexbox-grid/
You just need to enable flexbox, and the row, col-* use flexbox. BS3 uses flex-wrap and flex-direction:row, instead of flex-direction:column The new auto-layout columns use flex-grow to consume the remaining space in a row.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
4
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3">
3
</div>
<div class="col-xs">
grow
</div>
</div>

Update
In Bootstrap 4 alpha 6, flexbox is now the default so it no longer needs to be enabled. There are also new flexbox utilities for various properties like flex-column, justify-content-, align-items- etc.. The auto-layout columns can still be used to "grow` width or height.
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-3 sidebar">Sidebar</div>
<div class="col">Content</div>
</div>
</div>
