Grid

The grid utility lets you arrange elements in a 2-dimensional grid that will respond to the available space given a minimum size.

(Not to be confused with a 12-column grid like you may have used in CSS frameworks like Bootstrap. See Donnie D’Amato’s Gridless Design for more reasons to scrap the 12-column grid.)

The custom property --grid-col-min represents the smallest width a grid item can be before the grid moves an item to the next row and stretches each item equally to fill the available space.

Custom Property Default Value Description
--grid-col-min 200px The minimum width of grid items
--gap 8px Space between grid items
--align-items center Vertical alignment of grid items

Example
A grid of items with a minimum width of 150px.
