How to create: list grid view

List Grid View

Step 1 - Add HTML:

<!-- Loading Font Awesome icon library -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<!-- Used for buttons to select list view or grid view -->
<button onclick="listView()"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> List</button>
<button onclick="gridView()"><i class="fa fa-th-large"></i> Grid</button>
<div class="row">
  <div class="column" style="background-color:#aaa;">
    <h2>Column 1</h2>
    <p>Some text..</p>
  </div>
  <div class="column" style="background-color:#bbb;">
    <h2>Column 2</h2>
    <p>Some text..</p>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="column" style="background-color:#ccc;">
    <h2>Column 3</h2>
    <p>Some text..</p>
  </div>
  <div class="column" style="background-color:#ddd;">
    <h2>Column 4</h2>
    <p>Some text..</p>
  </div>
</div>

Second step - Add CSS:

/* Create two equal-width columns that float together */
.column {
  float: left;
  width: 50%;
  padding: 10px;
}
/* Clear float after columns */
.row:after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

Third step - Add JavaScript:

// Get elements with class="column"
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("column");
// Declare a loop variable
var i;
// List view
function listView() {
  for (i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    elements[i].style.width = "100%"; // Set the width of each element to 100%
  }
}
// Grid view
function gridView() {
  for (i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    elements[i].style.width = "50%"; // Set the width of each element to 50%
  }
}
