CSS Grid

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A two-dimensional CSS layout system for creating complex grid-based designs with rows and columns. Unlike Flexbox (one-dimensional), Grid handles both axes simultaneously. Features include named grid areas, auto-fit/auto-fill for responsive layouts, and subgrid for nested alignment.

    In plain English: A CSS layout system for creating row-and-column layouts, like a spreadsheet grid for your web page.

    Example: "Use CSS Grid for the dashboard layout — grid-template-areas makes the responsive breakpoints trivial to read and maintain."
