CSS Grids

CSS Grid is a powerful tool for creating two-dimensional layouts, providing developers with unmatched flexibility and control over web design structures.

What are CSS Grids?

CSS Grids are a layout system that divides a page into rows and columns, allowing for precise placement of items in a grid structure.

AiraCSS Framework includes a robust CSS grid system that empowers developers to create complex, responsive layouts with ease. Leveraging the power of CSS Grid, Astral allows you to design web pages that are both flexible and visually appealing.

Spanning column

Use the col-span-{n} utilities to make an element span n columns.

Starting and ending line

Use the col-start-{n} and col-end-{n} utilities to make an element start or end at the nth grid line. These can also be combined with the col-span-{n} utilities to span a specific number of columns.

Note that CSS grid lines start at 1, not 0, so a full-width element in a 6-column grid would start at line 1 and end at line 7.

Grid Template Rows

Use for specifying the rows in a grid layout..

Class Properties
grid-rows-1 grid-template-rows: repeat(1, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-2 grid-template-rows: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));

grid-rows-4 grid-template-rows: repeat(4, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-5 grid-template-rows: repeat(5, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-6 grid-template-rows: repeat(6, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-7 grid-template-rows: repeat(7, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-8 grid-template-rows: repeat(8, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-9 grid-template-rows: repeat(9, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-10 grid-template-rows: repeat(10, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-11 grid-template-rows: repeat(11, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-12 grid-template-rows: repeat(12, minmax(0, 1fr));
grid-rows-none grid-template-rows: none;

Spanning row

Use the row-span-{n} utilities to make an element span n rows.


    

Starting and ending line

Use the row-start-{n} and row-end-{n} utilities to make an element start or end at the nth grid line. These can also be combined with the row-span-{n} utilities to span a specific number of rows.

Note that CSS grid lines start at 1, not 0, so a full-height element in a 3-row grid would start at line 1 and end at line 4.

Grid Auto Flow

The grid-auto-flow property controls how the browser places items within a grid container that has not been explicitly placed. By default, the grid system lays out items in rows, but you can change this behavior to flow items in columns or rows based on your design needs.AiraCSS has some utilities classes you can use to achieve that.

Class Properties
grid-flow-row grid-auto-flow: row;
grid-flow-col grid-auto-flow: column;
grid-flow-row-dense grid-auto-flow: row dense;
grid-flow-row-dense grid-auto-flow: row dense;
grid-flow-col-dense grid-auto-flow: column dense;
