10:25 CSS Grids

CSS grid layout or CSS grid is a technique in CSS that allows web devs to create complex responsive web design layouts more easily and consistently across browsers. The layout above is very easy to accomplish with Grid! 

Flexbox is a one dimensional type of layout. CSS Grid allow you to layout in TWO dimensions.

CSS Grid Property Terminology to Know 

  • display: grid (you’ll need a container)
  • grid-template-columns: (for setting number of columns) 
  • grid-template-rows (for setting rows) [explicit grid] 
  • grid-gap (for setting the gap between the grid areas)
  • nth-child () 
  • fr (stands for fraction, can be used instead of percentage) 
  • minmax (for setting height min and max or width min and max) 

There are some good inspection tools for grid. Let’s look at those too.

Let’s jump into our SandBox in Code Pen – here is a starter project – just remember to fork it –

We’ll create two basics layouts – a simple grid of spaces and a classic layout called the Pancake Stack (I love pancakes). The pancake stack (one of the most popular designs out there) is soooo easy with grid.

If you get confused, just remember that grid is all about counting the lines between the columns and rows.
