CSS Grid

A grid can be defined as an intersecting set of horizontal lines and vertical


lines. CSS Grid layout divides a page into major regions. It defines the
relationship between the parts of a control built from HTML primitives in
terms of layer, position, and size. Grid property offers a grid-based layout
system having rows and columns. It makes the designing of web pages
easy without positioning and floating.

Similar to the table, it enables a user to align the elements into rows and
columns. But compare to tables, it is easy to design layout with
the CSS grid. We can define columns and rows on the grid by using grid-
template-rows and grid-template-columns properties.

The CSS grid property is supported in browsers such as Google


Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

Grid Container
We can define the grid container by setting the display property
to grid or inline-grid on an element.

Grid container contains grid items that are placed inside rows and
columns.

Let's see a simple example of a grid in CSS.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>

<style>
.main {
display: grid;
grid: auto auto / auto auto auto auto;
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: black;
padding: 10px;
}

.num {
background-color: grey;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding: 10px 10px;
font-size: 30px;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div class="main">
<div class="num">One</div>
<div class="num">Two</div>
<div class="num">Three</div>
<div class="num">Four</div>
<div class="num">Five</div>
<div class="num">Six</div>
<div class="num">Seven</div>
<div class="num">Eight</div>
</div>

</body>

Let's see some of the shorthand properties:

grid-template-columns: It is used to specify the size of the columns.

grid-template-rows: It is used to specify the row size.


grid-template-areas: It is used to specify the grid layout by using the
named items.

grid-auto-rows: It is used to specify the automatic size of the rows.

grid-auto-columns: It is used to specify the automatic size of the


columns.

grid-auto-flow: It is used to specify how to place auto-placed items and


the automatic row size.

In the following example, we are including some of the above shorthand


properties. Now, let's see the example of using some properties:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>

<style>
.main {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
grid-template-rows: 100px 250px 200px;
background-color: black;
grid-gap: 10px;
padding: 20px;
}

.num {
background-color: lightgrey;
text-align: center;
padding: 20px 10px;
font-size: 30px;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>

<div class="main">
<div class="num">One</div>
<div class="num">Two</div>
<div class="num">Three</div>
<div class="num">Four</div>
<div class="num">Five</div>
<div class="num">Six</div>
<div class="num">Seven</div>
<div class="num">Eight</div>
</div>

The justify-content property


It is used to align the entire grid within the container. It includes values
such as:

space-evenly: It provides equal space in between or around the


columns.

space-around: It provides equal space around the columns.

space-between: It gives an equal amount of space between the


columns.

center: It is used to align the grid in the middle of the container.


start: It is used to align the grid at the beginning of the container.

end: It is used to align the grid at the end of the container.

Note: It is noted that the total width of the grid should be less than the width of the
container for any effect of the justify-content property.

Let's understand this property along with the values by using an example.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.grid-container1 {
display: grid;
justify-content: space-evenly;
grid-template-columns: 50px 50px 50px; /*Make the grid smaller than th
e container*/
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: #2196F3;
padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container2 {
display: grid;
justify-content: space-around;
grid-template-columns: 50px 50px 50px; /*Make the grid smaller than th
e container*/
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: red;
padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container3 {
display: grid;
justify-content: space-between;
grid-template-columns: 50px 50px 50px; /*Make the grid smaller than th
e container*/
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: green;
padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container4 {
display: grid;
justify-content: end;
grid-template-columns: 50px 50px 50px; /*Make the grid smaller than th
e container*/
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: violet;
padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container5 {
display: grid;
justify-content: start;
grid-template-columns: 50px 50px 50px; /*Make the grid smaller than th
e container*/
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: gray;
padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container6 {
display: grid;
justify-content: center;
grid-template-columns: 50px 50px 50px; /*Make the grid smaller than th
e container*/
grid-gap: 10px;
background-color: blue;
padding: 10px;
}

.num {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
text-align: center;
padding: 20px 0;
font-size: 30px;
}
</style>
</head>

The align-content property


It is used to align the entire grid within the container vertically.

Note: It is noted that the total height of the grid should be less than the height of the
container for any effect of the align-content property.

The values of the align-content property are the same as the values of
the justify-content property.
