The grid-area property specifies a grid
item's size and location in a grid layout, and is a shorthand property for the
following properties:
The grid-area property can also be used to assign a name to a grid item.
Named grid items can then be referenced to by the
grid-template-areas property of the
grid container. See examples below.

Item1 gets the name "myArea", and spans all five columns in a five columns grid layout:
.item1 {
grid-area: myArea;
}
.grid-container {
display:
grid;
grid-template-areas: 'myArea myArea myArea myArea myArea';
}
Let "myArea" span two columns in a five columns grid layout (period signs represent items with no name):
.item1 {
grid-area: myArea;
}
.grid-container {
display:
grid;
grid-template-areas: 'myArea myArea . . .';
}
Make "item1" span two columns and two rows:
.grid-container {
grid-template-areas: 'myArea myArea . . .' 'myArea
myArea . . .';
}
Name all items, and make a ready-to-use webpage template:
.item1 { grid-area: header; }
.item2 { grid-area: menu; }
.item3 {
grid-area: main; }
.item4 { grid-area: right; }
.item5 { grid-area:
footer; }
.grid-container {
grid-template-areas:
'header header header header header header'
'menu main
main main right right'
'menu footer footer footer footer
footer';
}
