angular material: vertically arranging contents in a mat-grid-tile

Question

I am using angular material and have a grid list component with two tiles. the problem is the contents are getting arranged left to right rather top to bottom.

Answer 1

try below one, you have set colspan so that it will occupy full width of the div

<mat-grid-list cols="3" style="padding:10px">
<mat-grid-tile md-colspan="6" colspan="6" class="mi-tile-contents-top">
  <h2 class="mi-text-header">Title</h2>
  <div>some sort of text in between</div>
  <button mat-raised-button class="mi-button">Learn More</button>
 </mat-grid-tile>
<mat-grid-tile md-colspan="6" colspan="6" ><img src="../assets/images/cg_app.png" width="100%"/></mat-grid-tile>
</mat-grid-list>

Answer 2

The reason it's horizontal is because the Material lib is wrapping your tags located inside mat-grid-tile in a flex styled element that has a row flex-direction by default.

If I get it right, the code below should do want you want. When using grid-list elements, the order has an importance

<mat-grid-list cols="3" style="padding:10px">
    <mat-grid-tile colspan="1" rowspan="1">
        <h2>Title</h2>
    </mat-grid-tile>
    <mat-grid-tile colspan="2" rowspan="3">
        <img src="../assets/images/cg_app.png" width="100%"/>
    </mat-grid-tile>
    <mat-grid-tile colspan="1" rowspan="1">
      <div>some sort of text in between</div>
    </mat-grid-tile>
    <mat-grid-tile colspan="1" rowspan="1">
      <button mat-raised-button class="mi-button">Learn More</button>
    </mat-grid-tile>
</mat-grid-list>

You could also wrap the content of your mat-grid-tile in a div:

<mat-grid-list cols="3" style="padding:10px">
    <mat-grid-tile colspan="2" >
        <div>
            <h2>Title</h2>
            <div>some sort of text in between</div>
            <button mat-raised-button class="mi-button">Learn More</button>
        </div>
    </mat-grid-tile>
    <mat-grid-tile colspan="1">
        <img src="../assets/images/cg_app.png" width="100%"/>
    </mat-grid-tile>
</mat-grid-list>
