Overview
CSS Grid Layout is the most powerful layout system available in CSS. It allows for the creation of complex, grid-based layouts that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve with older methods like floats or Flexbox.
Key Concepts
- Grid Container: The parent element where
display: gridis applied. - Grid Tracks: The rows and columns of the grid.
- Grid Cells: The individual units of the grid.
- Grid Areas: Named regions of the grid that can span multiple cells.
- Fractional Units (fr): A flexible unit that represents a fraction of the available space in the grid container.
Use Cases
CSS Grid is perfect for large-scale page layouts, complex dashboards, and asymmetrical designs.
