display: grid;
also works in conjunction with other
css properties. There are several CSS properties that can be used in
conjunction with grid layouts.
grid-template-columns
, grid-template-rows
, grid-column-gap
, grid-row-gap
, grid-column
, grid-row
, justify-items
, align-items
, justify-content

, grid-auto-columns
, grid-auto-rows
, grid-auto-flow

, grid-row-end
, grid-column-start
, grid-column-end
and grid-gap
.
grid-template-columns
The grid-template-columns property is used to define the number of columns and their widths in a grid layout. It works in conjunction with the grid-template-rows property, which defines the number of rows and their heights.
Where <track-size> is the width of a column, and <track-list> is a
list of column widths separated by spaces.
For example, if we wanted to create a grid with 3 columns of equal width, we
could use the following code:
fr
unit stands for "fraction of available space", and it will
divide the available space into equal parts.
Another example, if we want to create a grid with 2 columns, first one is 150px width and second one is auto width. we could use the following code:
You can also use the repeat function to repeat certain widths multiple times. like:
This will create 3 columns with the width of 1fr
<style>.grid-container1 {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);}/*to make grid item cleared to view we styled themWe don't need to described again and againThis CSS will be used for following allelement of class "grid-item".*/.grid-item {border: 1px solid black;margin: 5px;padding: 5px;}</style><div class="grid-container1"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div></div>
grid-template-rows
grid-template-rows is a CSS property that is used to define the number of rows and their sizes in a grid layout. It allows you to specify the size of each row in the grid, using fixed values (such as pixels or percentages) or flexible values (such as fr units)..
<style>.grid-container2 {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);grid-template-rows: 100px 1fr;}</style><div class="grid-container2"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
In this example, the grid-template-rows property is set to 100px 1fr. This tells the browser to create a grid with two rows, the first with a fixed height of 100 pixels, and the second row taking up the remaining space. The grid-template-columns property is set to repeat(3, 1fr) which tells the browser to create 3 columns each taking up 1 fraction unit of the available space.
<style>.grid-container3 {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);grid-template-rows: 100px 2fr 1fr;}</style><div class="grid-container3"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
grid-column-gap & grid-row-gap
grid-column-gap and grid-row-gap are CSS properties used to set the size of the gap between columns and rows, respectively, in a grid layout.
<style>.grid-container4 {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); /* 3 columns with equal widths */grid-template-rows: repeat(2, 100px); /* 2 rows with a height of 100px */grid-column-gap: 10px; /* 10px gap between columns */grid-row-gap: 20px; /* 20px gap between rows */}</style><div class="grid-container4"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
In this example, we have a grid-container element that is set to display as a grid. The grid-template-columns property is set to create 3 columns with equal widths (1fr stands for "fraction of available space"). The grid-template-rows property is set to create 2 rows with a height of 100px. Finally, the grid-column-gap property is set to 10px, which will create a 10px gap between each column, and the grid-row-gap is set to 20px, which will create a 20px gap between each row.
grid-column and grid-row
The grid-column
and grid-row
properties are used to
position items within a grid.
<
style>.grid-container5 {display: grid;grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr 1fr; /* Creates three columns with equal width */grid-template-rows: 100px 200px; /* Creates two rows with specified height */}.grid-container5>div:nth-child(1) {grid-column: 2 / 3; /* Span the item across the second and third columns */grid-row: 1 / 2; /* Span the item across the first and second rows */}.grid-container5>div:nth-child(2) {grid-column: 1 / 2; /* Span the item across the first and second columns */grid-row: 2 / 3; /* Span the item across the second and third rows */}</style><div class="grid-container5"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
In this example, we first create a container element with the class of "container" which is set to display as a grid. We then set the number of columns and rows in the grid using the grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows properties. Next, we have two items with the classes "item-1" and "item-2" which we position within the grid using the grid-column and grid-row properties.
justify-items
justify-items
is a CSS property that is used to align the items
within a grid container along the horizontal (row) axis. It can be used to
align items to the start, end, center, or stretch them to fill the full width
of the grid container.
justify-items
to center align the
items within a grid container:
<style>.grid-container6 {display: grid;justify-items: center; /* This will center align the items horizontally */}.grid-container7 {display: grid;justify-items: stretch; /* This will stretch the items to fill the full width of the container */}</style><h2>justify-items: center</h2><div class="grid-container6"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div><h2>justify-items: stretch</h2><div class="grid-container7"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
justify-items: center
justify-items: stretch
justify-items is shorthand for
justify-self
and
justify-content
justify-self
is used to align individual grid items and
justify-content
used to align the entire grid.
- start: aligns grid items to the start edge of the grid container along the horizontal axis.
- end: aligns grid items to the end edge of the grid container along the horizontal axis.
- center: aligns grid items to the center of the grid container along the horizontal axis.
- stretch: stretches grid items to fill the full width of the grid container along the horizontal axis.
- baseline: aligns grid items along their baseline along the horizontal axis.
- first baseline: aligns grid items along their first baseline along the horizontal axis.
- last baseline: aligns grid items along their last baseline along the horizontal axis.
- unset: This is the default value. It will inherit the value from its parent.
lign-items
align-items
is a CSS property used to align elements within a
grid container. This allows you to control the vertical alignment of grid items within the grid container.
align-items
:<style>.grid-container8 {display: grid;align-items: center; /* This aligns the items in the middle of the grid container */grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); /* This creates a 2-column grid */}</style><div class="grid-container8"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
CSS Grid Layout has several possible values for the "align-items" property, which is widely supported by most modern browsers. These values include:
- "start" - aligns items to the top of the grid container
- "end" - aligns items to the bottom of the grid container
- "center" - aligns items in the middle of the grid container
- "stretch" - stretches items to fill the entire height of the grid container
- "baseline" - aligns items along the baseline of the text within the items
- "first baseline" - aligns items to the first baseline of the grid container
- "last baseline" - aligns items to the last baseline of the grid container
align-content
align-content
is a CSS property that is used to align the grid
items within a grid container. It works in conjunction with the display: grid
property and is used to control the alignment of the items in the vertical
axis (rows) of the grid.
align-content
:<style>.grid-container9 {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);align-content: center;}</style><div class="grid-container9"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
- start (aligns items to the start of the grid container)
- end (aligns items to the end of the grid container)
- center (aligns items to the center of the grid container)
- space-between (adds equal space between items)
- space-around (adds equal space around items)
- stretch (stretches items to fill the grid container)
grid-area
grid-area
is a CSS property that is used to align the grid
items within a grid container. It works in conjunction with the display: grid
property and is used to control the alignment of the items in the vertical
axis (rows) of the grid.
grid-area
:<style>.grid-container-area {display: grid;grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr;}.grid-container-area>.item-1 {grid-area: 1 / 1 / 2 / 2;}.grid-container-area>.item-2 {grid-area: 1 / 2 / 2 / 3;}.grid-container-area>.item-3 {grid-area: 2 / 1 / 3 / 2;}.grid-container-area>.item-4 {grid-area: 2 / 2 / 3 / 3;}</style><div class="grid-container-area"><div class="grid-item item-1">Item 1</div><div class="grid-item item-2">Item 2</div><div class="grid-item item-3">Item 3</div><div class="grid-item item-4">Item 4</div></div>
"row-start / column-start / row-end / column-end".
For example,
".item-1" has a grid-area value of "1 / 1 / 2 / 2", which means it starts
in the first row and first column, and spans to the second row and second
column.
grid-template-areas
grid-template-areas
is a CSS property that allows developers to
define the layout of a grid using a string of characters. The characters
represent the different grid cells and can be used to create a visual
representation of the grid layout. It is bit complicated then other
properties.
grid-template-areas
:
<style>.grid-containerA {display: grid;grid-template-areas:"header header""sidebar content""footer footer";/* In this example, "header" and "footer" represent the two cells in the top and bottom rowsrespectively, while "sidebar" and "content" represent the cells in the middle row.We can then use the grid-area property to assign specific elements to each cell in the grid. For example: */}.grid-containerA>#header {grid-area: header;}.grid-containerA>#sidebar {grid-area: sidebar;}.grid-containerA>#content {grid-area: content;}.grid-containerA>#footer {grid-area: footer;}</style><div class="grid-containerA"><div class="grid-item" id="header">Element 1 header</div><div class="grid-item" id="sidebar">Element 2 sidebar</div><div class="grid-item" id="content">Element 3 content</div><div class="grid-item" id="footer">Element 4 footer</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
Overall, grid-template-areas provides a convenient way to visually layout a grid and assign elements to specific cells in the grid.
grid-auto-columns and grid-auto-rows
grid-auto-columns and grid-auto-rows
are CSS properties that
allow you to define the size of automatically generated grid columns and rows.
They are used when you have elements that you want to position on a grid, but
you don't want to explicitly define the size of each column or row.
grid-auto-columns and grid-auto-rows
:
<style>.grid-containerB {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); /* define 3 equal-width columns */grid-auto-rows: 80px; /* automatically generate rows that are 50px tall */}</style><div class="grid-containerB"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
grid-auto-flow
property to specify how the
elements are placed on the grid. For example, if you set it to row, elements
will be placed in the first row and then move to the next one.
<style>.grid-containerC {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); /* define 3 equal-width columns */grid-auto-rows: 80px; /* automatically generate rows that are 50px tall */grid-auto-flow: row; /* elements will be placed on the first row and then move to the next one */}</style><div class="grid-containerC"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
grid-area and grid-row-start - grid-row-end - grid-column-start - grid-column-end
grid-area
property is a shorthand property that allows you to
specify the starting and ending positions of an element within a grid layout
using a single line of code. It is a convenient way to define the position of
an element within a grid without having to use multiple properties such as
grid-row-start, grid-row-end, grid-column-start, and grid-column-end.
grid-area
property is as follows:<style>.grid-containerD {display: grid;}.grid-containerD>div:nth-child(3) { /* Third chiled div element of grid-containerD */display: grid;grid-area: 1 / 3 / 5 / 5;}</style><div class="grid-containerD"><div class="grid-item">Element 1</div><div class="grid-item">Element 2</div><div class="grid-item">Element 3</div><div class="grid-item">Element 4</div><div class="grid-item">Element 5</div><div class="grid-item">Element 6</div><div class="grid-item">Element 7</div><div class="grid-item">Element 8</div><div class="grid-item">Element 9</div></div>
grid-row-start: 1; grid-column-start: 3; grid-row-end: 5; grid-column-end: 5;
<style>.gridarea-container {display: grid;grid-template-areas:"header header""sidebar main""footer footer";}.gridarea-container>.item {text-align: center;}.gridarea-container>.header {grid-area: header;}.gridarea-container>.sidebar {grid-area: sidebar;}.gridarea-container>.main {grid-area: main;}.gridarea-container>.footer {grid-area: footer;}</style><div class="gridarea-container"><div class="item header">Header</div><div class="item sidebar">Sidebar</div><div class="item main">Main content</div><div class="item footer">Footer</div></div>
Final Lines.
Additionally, CSS grid allows for easy manipulation of rows and columns, making it easy to create intricate layouts with minimal code. It also supports the use of grid templates, which allows for the creation of predefined grid structures that can be easily reused across multiple pages. With its wide range of features and capabilities, CSS grid is a powerful tool for creating professional-grade web designs. It is recommended for developers and designers who want to make the most out of their layout designs.
