Masonry
Masonry lays out contents of different sizes as blocks of the same width and variable height with configurable gaps.
Masonry maintains a list of content blocks with a consistent width but variable height. The contents are ordered by row. If a row is already filled with the specified number of columns, the next item starts another row, and it is added to the shortest column.
Basic masonry
A simple example of a Masonry
. Masonry
is a container for one or more items. It can receive any element including <div />
and <img />
.
<Masonry columns={4} spacing={2}>
{heights.map((height, index) => (
<Item key={index} sx={{ height }}>
{index + 1}
</Item>
))}
</Masonry>
Image masonry
This example demonstrates the use of Masonry
for images. Masonry
orders its children by row. If you'd like to order images by column, check out ImageList.
Items with variable height
This example demonstrates the use of Masonry
for items with variable height. Items can move to other columns in order to abide by the rule that items are always added to the shortest column and hence optimize the use of space.

<AccordionSummary expandIcon={<ExpandMoreIcon />}>
<Typography>Accordion {index + 1}</Typography>
</AccordionSummary>
<AccordionDetails>Contents</AccordionDetails>
</StyledAccordion>
</Paper>
))}
</Masonry>
Columns
This example demonstrates the use of the columns
to configure the number of columns of a Masonry
.
<Masonry columns={4} spacing={2}>
{heights.map((height, index) => (
<Item key={index} sx={{ height }}>
{index + 1}
</Item>
))}
</Masonry>
columns
accepts responsive values:
<Masonry columns={{ xs: 3, sm: 4 }} spacing={2}>
{heights.map((height, index) => (
<Item key={index} sx={{ height }}>
{index + 1}
</Item>
))}
</Masonry>
Spacing
This example demonstrates the use of the spacing
to configure the spacing between items. It is important to note that the value provided to the spacing
prop is multiplied by the theme's spacing field.
<Masonry columns={3} spacing={3}>
{heights.map((height, index) => (
<Item key={index} sx={{ height }}>
{index + 1}
</Item>
))}
</Masonry>
spacing
accepts responsive values:
<Masonry columns={3} spacing={{ xs: 1, sm: 2, md: 3 }}>
{heights.map((height, index) => (
<Item key={index} sx={{ height }}>
{index + 1}
</Item>
))}
</Masonry>
Server-side rendering
This example demonstrates the use of the defaultHeight
, defaultColumns
and defaultSpacing
, which are used to support server-side rendering.
Note:
defaultHeight
should be large enough to render all rows. Also, it is worth mentioning that items are not added to the shortest column in case of server-side rendering.
<Masonry
columns={4}
spacing={2}
defaultHeight={450}
defaultColumns={4}
defaultSpacing={1}
>
{heights.map((height, index) => (
<Item key={index} sx={{ height }}>
{index + 1}
</Item>
))}
</Masonry>
