Syntax
/* Keyword value */ grid-template: none; /* grid-template-rows / grid-template-columns values */ grid-template: 100px 1fr / 50px 1fr; grid-template: auto 1fr / auto 1fr auto; grid-template: [linename] 100px / [columnname1] 30% [columnname2] 70%; grid-template: fit-content(100px) / fit-content(40%); /* grid-template-areas grid-template-rows / grid-template-column values */ grid-template: "a a a" "b b b"; grid-template: "a a a" 20% "b b b" auto; grid-template: [header-top] "a a a" [header-bottom] [main-top] "b b b" 1fr [main-bottom] / auto 1fr auto; /* Global values */ grid-template: inherit; grid-template: initial; grid-template: revert; grid-template: unset;
Values
none
Is a keyword that sets all three longhand properties to none
, meaning there is no explicit grid. There are no named grid areas. Rows and columns will be implicitly generated; their size will be determined by the grid-auto-rows
and grid-auto-columns
properties.
<'grid-template-rows'> / <'grid-template-columns'>
Sets grid-template-rows
and grid-template-columns
to the specified values, and sets grid-template-areas
to none
.
[ <line-names>? <string> <track-size>? <line-names>? ]+ [ / <explicit-track-list> ]?
Sets grid-template-areas
to the strings listed, grid-template-rows
to the track sizes following each string (filling in auto
for any missing sizes), and splicing in the named lines defined before/after each size, and grid-template-columns
to the track listing specified after the slash (or none
, if not specified).
Note: The repeat()
function isn't allowed in these track listings, as the tracks are intended to visually line up one-to-one with the rows/columns in the "ASCII art".
Note: The grid
shorthand accepts the same syntax, but also resets the implicit grid properties to their initial values. Use grid
(as opposed to grid-template
) to prevent these values from cascading in separately.
