|
||||
<p>There are properties both for Grid containers and Grid items (cells, rows, cols). Those are the same properties that you can use with CSS Grid. You can <a href="https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/#aa-grid-properties" target="_blank">read here detailed explanations about CSS Grid properties</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Grid layout basic terminology</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Container:</strong> The container is the parent element of all the grid items.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Cell:</strong> A single unit of the grid. Cells are the children elements of a grid container.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Area:</strong> A composition of any number of grid cells.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Gap:</strong> The space between grid items (cells and areas), both horizontally and vertically.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Row:</strong> The horizontal and lines that define the rows of the grid.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Column:</strong> The vertical lines that define the columns of the grid.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Grid containter properties</h4>

<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Direction:</strong> Row, column.</li>
|
||||

|
||||
<li><strong>Gap:</strong> Row, column.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Padding:</strong> Top, right, bottom, left, vertical, horizontal.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Grid cell properties</h4>
|
||||
<strong>Auto, manual and Area</strong>
|
||||
<p>These are different ways to manage the element's position that therefore have different code representation.</p>
|
||||
<ul>

|
||||

|
||||
