Grid Layout #
The CSS Grid Layout Module offers a grid-based layout system, with rows and columns, making it easier to design web pages without having to use floats and positioning.
#

#
Grid Elements #
A grid layout consists of a parent element, with one or more child elements.
Example #
<div class="grid-container">
<div class="grid-item">1</div>
<div class="grid-item">2</div>
<div class="grid-item">3</div>
<div class="grid-item">4</div>
<div class="grid-item">5</div>
<div class="grid-item">6</div>
<div class="grid-item">7</div>
<div class="grid-item">8</div>
<div class="grid-item">9</div>
</div> Result: #
.grid-container {
display: grid;
} 
Grid Gaps #
The spaces between each column/row are called gaps.
Example #
The grid-row-gap property sets the gap between the rows:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-row-gap: 50px;
} Example #
The grid-gap property is a shorthand property for the grid-row-gap and the grid-column-gap properties:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 50px 100px;
} Example #
The grid-gap property can also be used to set both the row gap and the column gap in one value:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 50px;
} Grid Lines #
The lines between columns are called column lines.
The lines between rows are called row lines.
Refer to line numbers when placing a grid item in a grid container:
Example #
Place a grid item at column line 1, and let it end on column line 3:
.item1 {
grid-column-start: 1;
grid-column-end: 3;
} Example #
Place a grid item at row line 1, and let it end on row line 3:
.item1 {
grid-row-start: 1;
grid-row-end: 3;
