Set areas within the grid layout in CSS
To set the areas within the grid layout, use the grid-template-areas Property. With that, first set the display property as grid to create a grid layout. You need to work on the grid-area, grid-gap, and grid-template-areas property. Let us understand them one by one and set areas withing the grid layout using HTML and CSS.
The grid-template-areas property
Use the grid-template-areas property to set areas within the grid layout −
grid-template-areas: 'newArea newArea . . .' 'newArea newArea . . .';
The grid-gap property
To set the gap between the rows and columns in a grid layout, use the grid-gap property. Use it as a shorthand or use the grid-row-gap and grid-column-gap separately −
grid-gap: 5px;
The grid-area property
Use the grid-area property to set the grid item's size and location in a grid layout. Use it as a shorthand or use the grid-row-start, grid-column-start, grid-row-end, and grid-column-end properties directly.
Assign a name to a grid-item
To assign a name to a grid item, use the grid-area property. For example −
grid-area: newArea;
Set the grid container
Set a container for the grid. Within that, all the child divs gets added −
<div class="grid-container"> <div class="demo">250</div> <div class="item2">120</div> <div class="item3">333</div> <div class="item4">298</div> <div class="item5">645</div> <div class="item6">543</div> <div class="item7">555</div> </div>
Set the Grid Area
The grid name is set using the grid-area property −
.demo {
grid-area: newArea;
}
Create a grid
A grid gets created when the display property is set to grid. An element becomes a grid container when its display is set to grid −
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-template-areas:
'newArea newArea . . .'
'newArea newArea . . .';
grid-gap: 5px;
background-color: blue;
padding: 5px;
}
Set areas within the grid layout
The areas within the grid layout is set using the grid-template-areas property −
grid-template-areas: 'newArea newArea . . .' 'newArea newArea . . .';
Example
Let us now see an example −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.demo {
grid-area: newArea;
}
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-template-areas:
'newArea newArea . . .'
'newArea newArea . . .';
grid-gap: 5px;
background-color: blue;
padding: 5px;
}
.grid-container > div {
background-color: orange;
text-align: center;
padding: 5px 0;
font-size: 30px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Heading One</h1>
<p>Set some random numbers</p>
<div class="grid-container">
<div class="demo">250</div>
<div class="item2">120</div>
<div class="item3">333</div>
<div class="item4">298</div>
<div class="item5">645</div>
<div class="item6">543</div>
<div class="item7">555</div>
</div>
</body>
