Learning about CSS Grid Layout
I wrote this post a while back. The content can still be relevant but the information I've linked to may not be available.
There's an exciting new CSS layout method in the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera (see browser support). That's CSS Grid Layout which promises to revolutionise how we create page layouts. Here are a few links I've collected.
- Grid By Example is Rachel Andrew's site. It has a wealth of layout examples and video tutorials about Grid Layout.
- Learn CSS Grid by Jen Simmons has a great list of Grid resources. There are Grid demos in the labs section of the site. I like the Cards example in particular because it compares different methods.
- CSS Grid Layout: A New Layout Module For The Web has a clear explanation.
- Getting to Know Grid Layout is another in depth article that's easy to read.
- Tyler Sticka describes a layout he needed to create in Case Study: My First Practical Grid Layout.
- Playing with CSS Grids describes a lovely magazine-style layout. Nice work.
Update
- Practical CSS Grid: Adding Grid to an Existing Design: Eric Meyer describes how he converted his site to use Grid Layout. It looks very easy!
- Rachel Andrew describes Grid “fallbacks” and overrides and explains that as soon as an item is defined as a grid item, other CSS you might have used, for example floats for layout, gets overwritten. Outside that scenario, feature queries are simple to implement and widely supported.
- Here's a fun site. Learn Grid Layout with Grid Garden.
Update 2
- Video: Rachel Andrew explains Grid Layout at Render 2017.
- Video: Jen Simmons demonstrates Firefox Grid Inspector tool with some grid layout image gallery examples.
I'll update this post when I come across more great links about Grid Layout.
