This skill provides usage guidance for the Canopy lg-page component from @legal-and-general/canopy.

Apply this skill whenever you use LgPageComponent to lay out a full page.


Import

import {
  LgPageComponent,
  LgGridContainerDirective,
  LgGridRowDirective,
  LgGridColDirective,
} from '@legal-and-general/canopy';

Basic Usage

<lg-page>
  <header lg-header lgMarginBottom="none">
    <!-- header content -->
  </header>

  <div lgContainer>
    <div lgRow>
      <div [lgCol]="12" [lgColMd]="8">
        <router-outlet></router-outlet>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <footer lg-footer>
    <!-- footer content -->
  </footer>
</lg-page>

Content Projection Slots

SlotDescription
lg-headerProjects into the header area at the top of the page.
lg-footerProjects into the footer area at the bottom of the page.
<default>Any other content is projected into the central column.

Wrapping Header and Footer

Use ngProjectAs to use wrapper components while still targeting the correct slots:

<lg-page>
  <app-header ngProjectAs="[lg-header]"></app-header>
  <router-outlet></router-outlet>
  <app-footer ngProjectAs="[lg-footer]"></app-footer>
</lg-page>

Design Constraints

  • Combine lg-page with the grid directives (lgContainer, lgRow, lgCol) to create a responsive layout for the main content area.
  • lg-page automatically adds a "skip to main content" link for accessibility.
