Dark mode items

Responsive behavior

Use columnSpan, rowSpan, columnStart, rowStart, flow, verticalAlign, horizontalAlign with an Object of breakpoint-specific keys and values corresponding to each type to enable responsive behavior for each of these properties.

Breakpoints use min-width, where it will also apply your chosen span value to all larger breakpoints.

Bento items can render in a different source order to what is presented visually. It's important to ensure that the content of each item is self-contained and can be read independently of its adjacent items.
