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.
The grid properties are supported in all modern browsers.

A grid layout consists of a parent element, with one or more child elements.
<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>
An HTML element becomes a grid container when its display
property
is set to
grid
or inline-grid
.
All direct children of the grid container automatically become grid items.
The vertical lines of grid items are called columns.
The horizontal lines of grid items are called rows.
The spaces between each column/row are called gaps.
You can adjust the gap size by using one of the following properties:
column-gap
row-gap
gap
The column-gap
property sets the gap between the columns:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
column-gap: 50px;
}
The row-gap
property sets the gap between the rows:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
row-gap: 50px;
}
The gap
property is a shorthand property for the
row-gap
and the
column-gap
properties:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
gap: 50px 100px;
}
The gap
property can also be used to set both the row gap and the
column gap in one value:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
gap: 50px;
}
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:
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;
}
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;
}
