key concepts

CSS3 Grid Layout is a powerful two-dimensional layout system that allows you to create complex grid-based layouts on web pages. It provides precise control over the placement and alignment of elements within a grid container. Here's an overview of CSS3 Grid Layout and its key concepts:

Grid Container

● To create a grid layout, you need to designate an element as the grid container by applying the display: grid property.

● The grid container can be either a block-level or inline-level element.

Grid Tracks and Grid Cells

● Grid tracks are the columns and rows that make up the grid layout.

● By default, tracks are created automatically based on the content and size of the grid items.

● You can also explicitly define tracks using properties like grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows.

Grid Items

● Grid items are the elements placed inside the grid container.

● They can occupy one or more grid cells, spanning across multiple rows and columns.

● Use the grid-column and grid-row properties to position and span grid items within the grid.

Grid Lines

● Grid lines are the horizontal and vertical lines that define the boundaries of the grid cells and tracks.

● They can be referred to using line numbers or names assigned to them.

Grid Areas

● Grid areas are rectangular areas formed by combining multiple grid cells.

● You can assign names to grid areas using the grid-template-areas property.

● By referencing these area names, you can easily position grid items within specific areas.

Grid Template

● The grid template is used to define the structure of the grid by specifying the size and arrangement of tracks.

● Use properties like grid-template-columns, grid-template-rows, and grid-template-areas to create the grid template.

Grid Gap

● Grid gap refers to the spacing between grid cells and tracks.

● Use properties like grid-column-gap and grid-row-gap to define the size of the gap.

● grid-gap is a shorthand property that sets both column and row gaps simultaneously.

Alignment and Justification

● CSS Grid provides various properties to control the alignment and justification of grid items.

● Use properties like justify-items, align-items, justify-content, and align-content to align items within the grid container.

● Additionally, justify-self and align-self properties can be used to override alignment for individual grid items.
