What is CSS Grid?

CSS Grid is a powerful layout system for the web. It allows you to create complex and responsive layouts with ease. With CSS Grid, you can design websites that are both visually appealing and functional.

Key Concepts

Grid Container: The element that defines the grid layout.
Grid Item: The individual items within the grid.
Grid Line: The horizontal and vertical lines that divide the grid.
Grid Cell: The space between two adjacent grid lines.

Getting Started

To get started with CSS Grid, you need to define a grid container and specify the number of rows and columns you want. Here's an example:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 3fr;
  grid-template-rows: auto;
}

Example Layout

Let's say you want to create a two-column layout with a sidebar on the left. Here's how you can do it using CSS Grid:

<div class="container">
  <div class="sidebar">Sidebar</div>
  <div class="main-content">Main Content</div>
</div>

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 3fr;
  grid-template-rows: auto;
}

.sidebar {
  grid-column: 1 / 2;
}

.main-content {
  grid-column: 2 / 3;
}
