The grid CSS property is a shorthand property that sets all of the explicit and implicit grid properties in a single declaration.

/* <'grid-template'> values */ grid: none; grid: "a" 100px "b" 1fr; grid: [linename1] "a" 100px [linename2]; grid: "a" 200px "b" min-content; grid: "a" minmax(100px, max-content) "b" 20%; grid: 100px / 200px; grid: minmax(400px, min-content) / repeat(auto-fill, 50px);  /* <'grid-template-rows'> /    [ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-columns'>? values */ grid: 200px / auto-flow; grid: 30% / auto-flow dense; grid: repeat(3, [line1 line2 line3] 200px) / auto-flow 300px; grid: [line1] minmax(20em, max-content) / auto-flow dense 40%;  /* [ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-rows'>? /    <'grid-template-columns'> values */ grid: auto-flow / 200px; grid: auto-flow dense / 30%; grid: auto-flow 300px / repeat(3, [line1 line2 line3] 200px); grid: auto-flow dense 40% / [line1] minmax(20em, max-content);  /* Global values */ grid: inherit; grid: initial; grid: revert; grid: unset; 

grid

The grid CSS property is a shorthand property that sets all of the explicit and implicit grid properties in a single declaration.

Using grid you specify one axis using grid-template-rows or grid-template-columns, you then specify how content should auto-repeat in the other axis using the implicit grid properties: grid-auto-rows, grid-auto-columns, and grid-auto-flow.

Note: The sub-properties you don't specify are set to their initial value, as normal for shorthands. Also, the gutter properties are NOT reset by this shorthand.

Constituent properties

This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:

grid-auto-columns grid-auto-flow grid-auto-rows grid-template-areas grid-template-columns grid-template-rows

Syntax

/* <'grid-template'> values */ grid: none; grid: "a" 100px "b" 1fr; grid: [linename1] "a" 100px [linename2]; grid: "a" 200px "b" min-content; grid: "a" minmax(100px, max-content) "b" 20%; grid: 100px / 200px; grid: minmax(400px, min-content) / repeat(auto-fill, 50px);  /* <'grid-template-rows'> /    [ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-columns'>? values */ grid: 200px / auto-flow; grid: 30% / auto-flow dense; grid: repeat(3, [line1 line2 line3] 200px) / auto-flow 300px; grid: [line1] minmax(20em, max-content) / auto-flow dense 40%;  /* [ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-rows'>? /    <'grid-template-columns'> values */ grid: auto-flow / 200px; grid: auto-flow dense / 30%; grid: auto-flow 300px / repeat(3, [line1 line2 line3] 200px); grid: auto-flow dense 40% / [line1] minmax(20em, max-content);  /* Global values */ grid: inherit; grid: initial; grid: revert; grid: unset; 

Values

<'grid-template'>

Defines the grid-template including grid-template-columns, grid-template-rows and grid-template-areas.

<'grid-template-rows'> / [ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-columns'>?

Sets up an auto-flow by setting the row tracks explicitly via the grid-template-rows property (and the grid-template-columns property to none) and specifying how to auto-repeat the column tracks via grid-auto-columns (and setting grid-auto-rows to auto). grid-auto-flow is also set to column accordingly, with dense if it's specified.

All other grid sub-properties are reset to their initial values.

[ auto-flow && dense? ] <'grid-auto-rows'>? / <'grid-template-columns'>

Sets up an auto-flow by setting the column tracks explicitly via the grid-template-columns property (and the grid-template-rows property to none) and specifying how to auto-repeat the row tracks via grid-auto-rows (and setting grid-auto-columns to auto). grid-auto-flow is also set to row accordingly, with dense if it's specified.

All other grid sub-properties are reset to their initial values.
