CSS Grid Layout Mastery

CSS Grid Layout is a powerful 2-dimensional layout system that allows you to create complex layouts with ease.

Grid Container

To create a grid container, use display: grid:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 200px;
  gap: 20px;
}

Grid Items

Grid items are the direct children of the grid container:

.item {
  grid-column: 1 / 3;
  grid-row: 1 / 2;
}

Responsive Grids

Use repeat() and minmax() for responsive designs:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
  gap: 20px;
}

Grid Areas

Named grid areas make layouts more semantic:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-areas:
    "header header header"
    "sidebar main main"
    "footer footer footer";
}

.header { grid-area: header; }
.sidebar { grid-area: sidebar; }
.main { grid-area: main; }
.footer { grid-area: footer; }

CSS Grid is perfect for creating modern, responsive layouts!
