How Two-Dimensional CSS Grid Works

CSS Grid Layout is the most powerful layout system available in CSS. It allows web designers to align elements into columns and rows without nested wrapper divs or complex floating margin calculations.

Core Syntax

display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); gap: 16px;

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CSS Grid and Flexbox?

CSS Flexbox is one-dimensional (handles either rows OR columns at a time). CSS Grid is two-dimensional (handles BOTH rows and columns simultaneously), making Grid superior for full-page structures and complex dashboard tiles.

What does the `1fr` unit mean in CSS Grid?

The `fr` unit represents a fraction of the available free space in the grid container. For example, `grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr` divides available space into 3 parts, allocating 1/3 to the first column and 2/3 to the second.

How do I make CSS Grid responsive on mobile screens?

Use CSS media queries to switch from multi-column grids (e.g., `repeat(3, 1fr)`) to a single column (`grid-template-columns: 1fr`) on mobile viewports.
