CSS Grid

`.grid-container`

The main class container

display: grid is the main property needed here

`grid-template-columns`

layout of columns horizontally

grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr has 3 columns, each one is 1fr

A shorthand would be grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);

`grid-template-rows`

is the same as grid-template-columns only vertically

`justify-items`

How grid pieces are aligned horizontally

justify-items: strech; is default and takes up full width of the columns justify-items: center; centers grid items justify-items: start; pushes grid items to the left justify-items: end; pushes grid items to the right

IMPORTANT

To justify individual grid items, you must use justify-self

justify-self: end; will align grid item to the bottom of it's grid area

`align-items`

Like justify-items but vertical

IMPORTANT

align-self for vertical alignment of grid items

`gap` is the gap between grid items

gap: 10px;

Grid Items

`grid-column`

Helps lay out the grid

grid-column: 1 / span 2; will make this grid item 1 column and span 2 column spaces

See image and code below

<body>
  <div class="grid-container">
    <div>1</div>
    <div>2</div>
    <div>3</div>
    <div>4</div>
    <div>5</div>
    <div>6</div> 
  </div>

}

.grid-container {

 max-width: 900px;
 margin: 0 auto;
 display: grid;
 grid-template-columns: repeat(6, 1fr);
 grid-template-rows: 100px 200px 300px;

 grid-column: 3 / span 3;
}

}
.grid-container > div:nth-child(4) {
 grid-column: 2 / 6; 
 align-self: end;
}
.grid-container > div:nth-child(5) {
 grid-column: span 3;
