CSS Grid 2D Layouts & Auto-Fit Grids

Build complex two-dimensional page layouts: grid-template-columns, fr units, minmax(), and auto-fit responsive patterns.

CSS Grid is a 2-dimensional layout system designed for rows and columns simultaneously.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER IN THE REAL WORLD?

With CSS Grid, you can create fully responsive multi-column layouts that automatically adapt from mobile to desktop with a single line of CSS.

.card-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr));
  gap: 24px;
}

1fr unit distributes available free space across column tracks.
