How to create a responsive grid of images in Bubble.io?

Step 1: Set Up Your Bubble Project

Create a new project in Bubble.io or open your existing project.
Navigate to the design tab on the left-hand side of the editor.

Step 2: Add a Container for the Image Grid

Drag and drop a Group element onto your page. This will act as the container for your grid of images.
In the property editor for the Group, set the layout to ‘Row’ and ensure it expands to fit the content.
Set the group’s background color for better visualization if needed, although this is optional.

Step 3: Configure the Group for Responsiveness

In the responsive tab, configure the Group to ensure it stretches and collapses correctly. This may involve setting minimum and maximum widths.
Enable the ‘Collapse Margins when Hidden’ setting to ensure a clean and responsive design.

Step 4: Add Repeating Group Inside the Container

Drag a Repeating Group element inside the Group container you created.
In the property editor for the Repeating Group, set the type of content to ‘Image’ or to the specific data type you are using.
Set the data source of the Repeating Group to the list of images you want to display (e.g., a list of image files from your database).
Configure the layout of the Repeating Group to display multiple cells. For example, set it to ‘Ext Vertical Scrolling’ or ‘Fixed Number of Cells’ depending on your needs.
Specify the number of columns and rows that should be visible. For a grid layout, you might set several columns wide and a fixed or dynamic number of rows.

Step 5: Design Each Cell in the Repeating Group

Inside the first cell of the Repeating Group, drag and drop an Image element.
Set the dynamic image source to the current cell’s image data (e.g., ‘Current cell's Image’).
Adjust the image settings such as aspect ratio, alignment, and borders to fit within the cell appropriately.
Optionally, you can add additional elements like text captions or links as needed, each time associating them with the current cell’s data.

Step 6: Make the Grid Responsive

Go to the Responsive tab and check how the image grid is displayed on various screen sizes.
Adjust the settings like minimum width, margins, and paddings for the Repeating Group and individual cells to ensure a proper layout on all devices.
Use the ‘Hide’ workflow actions conditionally if needed, to further enhance responsiveness.
Test the design by resizing your browser window and checking the layout on different devices (e.g., tablet, mobile, desktop).

Step 7: Final Testing and Deployment

Preview your Bubble app to ensure the image grid behaves as expected when adding, removing, or resizing images.
Make any necessary adjustments for styling, spacing, and responsiveness.
Once satisfied, deploy your application to a live environment if needed.
