--- title: Media Object description: Media objects are super useful components for displaying an item, usually an image, alongside some content, usually text. You could put lists, grids, or even other media objects inside. video: 'H74_A6eI-wY' sass: scss/components/_media-object.scss flex: true --- ## Basics Foundation's Media Object will help you create this common repeatable pattern and can be used several different ways. A media object is a container with the class `.media-object`, and two or three sections with the class `.media-object-section`. <p> <a class="" data-open-video="1:58"><img src="{{root}}assets/img/icons/watch-video-icon.svg" class="video-icon" height="30" width="30" alt=""> Watch this part in video</a> </p> <div class="docs-codepen-container"> <a class="codepen-logo-link" href="https://codepen.io/ZURBFoundation/pen/NjzbEG?editors=1000" target="_blank"><img src="{{root}}assets/img/logos/edit-in-browser.svg" class="" height="" width="" alt="edit on codepen button"></a> </div> ```html_example <div class="media-object"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="assets/img/media-object/avatar-1.jpg"> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h4>Dreams feel real while we're in them.</h4> <p>I'm going to improvise. Listen, there's something you should know about me... about inception. An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious. The smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you.</p> </div> </div> ``` <div class="primary callout"> <p>In flexbox mode, the class `.main-section` must be added to your center section in order to properly size it.</p> </div> ```html <div class="media-object"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/media-object/avatar-1.jpg"> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section main-section"> <h4>Dreams feel real while we're in them.</h4> <p>I'm going to improvise. Listen, there's something you should know about me... about inception. An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious. The smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you.</p> </div> </div> ``` --- ## Section Alignment Each section aligns to the top by default, but individual sections can also be middle- or bottom-aligned with the `.middle` and `.bottom` classes. <p> <a class="" data-open-video="3:33"><img src="{{root}}assets/img/icons/watch-video-icon.svg" class="video-icon" height="30" width="30" alt=""> Watch this part in video</a> </p> <div class="docs-codepen-container"> <a class="codepen-logo-link" href="https://codepen.io/ZURBFoundation/pen/aWKpOj" target="_blank"><img src="{{root}}assets/img/logos/edit-in-browser.svg" class="" height="" width="" alt="edit on codepen button"></a> </div> ```html_example <div class="media-object"> <div class="media-object-section middle"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/media-object/avatar-2.jpg"> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h4>Why is it so important to dream?</h4> <p>So, once we've made the plant, how do we go out? Hope you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head? A kick. What's a kick? This, Ariadne, would be a kick.</p> <p>What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere.</p> </div> <div class="media-object-section bottom"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/media-object/avatar-3.jpg"> </div> </div> </div> ``` In flexbox mode, you can use the <a href="flexbox.html#helper-classes">flexbox helper classes</a> instead to get the same result. The `.align-*` classes can be used on the container to align every child section at once, or individual child sections can be aligned with `.align-self-*` classes. ```html <div class="media-object"> <div class="media-object-section align-self-middle"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/media-object/avatar-2.jpg"> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section main-section"> <h4>Why is it so important to dream?</h4> <p>So, once we've made the plant, how do we go out? Hope you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head? A kick. What's a kick? This, Ariadne, would be a kick.</p> <p>What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere.</p> </div> <div class="media-object-section align-self-bottom"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/media-object/avatar-3.jpg"> </div> </div> </div> ``` --- ### Stack on Small By adding the `.stack-for-small` class, you can make your media object responsive. Images will get a width of 100%, but this can be changed. <p> <a class="" data-open-video="5:45"><img src="{{root}}assets/img/icons/watch-video-icon.svg" class="video-icon" height="30" width="30" alt=""> Watch this part in video</a> </p> <div class="docs-codepen-container"> <a class="codepen-logo-link" href="https://codepen.io/ZURBFoundation/pen/JNZEKe?editors=1000" target="_blank"><img src="{{root}}assets/img/logos/edit-in-browser.svg" class="" height="" width="" alt="edit on codepen button"></a> </div> ```html_example <div class="media-object stack-for-small"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/generic/rectangle-1.jpg"> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h4>I Can Stack.</h4> <p>Shrink the browser width to see me stack. I do tricks for dog treats, but I'm not a dog.</p> </div> </div> ``` --- ### Nesting Media Objects By nesting a media object into the media-object-section section, you can easily indent it. This is great for comment strings. <div class="docs-codepen-container"> <a class="codepen-logo-link" href="https://codepen.io/ZURBFoundation/pen/aWKpOj" target="_blank"><img src="{{root}}assets/img/logos/edit-in-browser.svg" class="" height="" width="" alt="edit on codepen button"></a> </div> ```html_example <div class="media-object"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/media-object/avatar-1.jpg"> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h4>I'm First!</h4> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro at, tenetur cum beatae excepturi id ipsa? Esse dolor laboriosam itaque ea nesciunt, earum, ipsum commodi beatae velit id enim repellat.</p>  <div class="media-object"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src= "assets/img/media-object/avatar-2.jpg"> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h4>I'm Second!</h4> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Voluptas magni, quam mollitia voluptatum in, animi suscipit tempora ea consequuntur non nulla vitae doloremque. Eius rerum, cum earum quae eveniet odio.</p> </div> </div>  </div> </div> ```
