Study Notes
Grid Layout Calculation
- Flex Factor Calculation: The leftover space in a grid column is calculated as * (leftover space / sum of all flex factors).
- Example Calculation with Pixels: For a grid of width 600px defined as
grid-template-columns: 200px 2fr 1fr, the flex values can be determined:- 1fr = 1 * ((600px - 200px) / (2 + 1)) = 133px
- 2fr = 2 * ((600px - 200px) / (2 + 1)) = 267px
Grid Functions and Sizes
- CSS Grid Functions: Functions such as
minmax()offer flexibility in defining track sizes. - Minimum and Maximum Sizes:
- The syntax
grid-template-columns: minmax(auto, 50%) 1fr 3remsets column sizes with defined limits; the first column stretches automatically but does not exceed 50% of the container width. - Row heights can similarly use
minmax(10rem, auto)to ensure a minimum height while allowing for growth.
- The syntax
Shorthand for Grid Layouts
- Shorthand Syntax:
- The shorthand
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr)creates three equally sized columns. - For rows,
grid-template-rows: repeat(4, 10rem)generates four rows each 10rem tall.
- The shorthand
Grid Spacing
- Grid Gaps: The
grid-gapproperty, e.g.,grid-gap: 5rem 1rem, creates space between grid rows and columns, but not at the grid container's edges.
Explicit vs Implicit Grids
- Explicit Grid: Defined by set rows and columns using
grid-template-rowsandgrid-template-columns, constraining placement within specified cells. - Implicit Grid: Automatically generated when there are more grid items than defined cells, thus creating new tracks and lines to accommodate overflow.
Controlling Overspill in Grids
- Size Management for Overspill: Using
grid-auto-rows, such as ingrid-auto-rows: 9rem, determines the height of rows generated by implicit overflow.
Visualizing Grid Layout
- Using Inspector Tools: Employ browser inspector tools to visualize and manage grid structures, providing clarity on column and row placements.
Positioning Within a Grid
- Spanning Grid Lines: Techniques are available for positioning grid items to span multiple grid lines for enhanced layout flexibility.
