Mastering CSS Grid Layout

CSS Grid is a powerful tool for creating two-dimensional layouts on the web.

Grid Basics

Grid container holds grid items and defines the grid structure.

.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  gap: 10px;
}

Grid Template Areas

Define named areas for easier placement:

grid-template-areas:
  "header header header"
  "sidebar main main"
  "footer footer footer";

Responsive Grids

Use media queries to adjust grid for different screen sizes.

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .grid {
    grid-template-columns: 1fr;
  }
}

Key Takeaways

Grid makes complex layouts simple and maintainable.
