A History of Layout Issues
Floats
Floats Suck
CSS Frameworks
CSS Frameworks <div class="small-12 medium-6 large-8"></div>
Separation of Concerns
Floats Aren’t Bad
They’re Not for Complex Layouts
Why?
None
Flexbox
Flexbox is Flexible
Main Column and Sidebar Layout <aside>Aside</aside> <main>Main Content</main>
Main Column and Sidebar Layout <aside>Aside</aside> <main>Main Content</main> And our
CSS.
Main Column and Sidebar Layout <aside>Aside</aside> <main>Main Content</main> And our
CSS. body { display: flex; } aside { background-color: #333; flex: 1 1 30%; } main { background-color: #333; flex: 1 1 70%; }
The two columns are completely flexible.
Flexbox Card Layout <ul class="boxes"> <li>1</li> <li>2</li> <li>3</li> <li>4</li> <li>5</li>
</ul>

This is not what I want!

Oh wait! What about bigger screens?

Flexbox Is Awesome
Vertical Align!
We’re Using Flexbox Wrong
CSS Grid to the Rescue
CSS Grid is Not a Float Killer
CSS Grid is Not a Flexbox Killer
You Don’t Need a Framework
CSS Grid Is the Framework
CSS Grid is Friendly
Great Use of Flexbox
Great Use of Floats
CSS Grid What Is It Good For?
“My super simple theory at the moment — if you
are putting widths on flex items, you are doing it wrong. Use Grid. (Let’s see if that holds.) —Jen Simmons
CSS Grid Basics
display: grid;
grid-template-columns
fr
grid-gap
Let’s See It in Action
Holy Grail Layout
Set Up <header>Header</header> <aside>Aside</aside> <main>Main Content</main> <footer>Footer</footer>
Set Up <header>Header</header> <aside>Aside</aside> <main>Main Content</main> <footer>Footer</footer> body { display:
grid; grid-template-columns: 2fr 3fr; grid-gap: 2rem; }
Let’s Place Our Items header { grid-column: 1 / span
2; } aside { grid-column-end: span 1; grid-row: 2; } main { grid-column: 2 / span 1; grid-row: 2; } footer { grid-column: 1 / span 2; grid-row: 3; }
Grid Lines
Rewrite with Grid Areas body { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 2fr
3fr; grid-gap: 2rem; grid-template-areas: "header header" "aside main" "footer footer"; } header { grid-area: header; } aside { grid-area: aside; } main { grid-area: main; } footer { grid-area: footer; }
None
What If? body { grid-template-areas: ". header" "aside main" ".
footer"; }
None
None
Easily Responsive body { display: grid; grid-gap: 2rem; grid-template-areas: "header"
"main" "aside" "footer"; } @media and screen (min-width: 40em) { body { grid-template-columns: 2fr 3fr; grid-template-areas: "header header" "aside main" "footer footer"; } }

4</li> <li>Box 5</li> <li>Box 6</li> </ul> Now let’s get these puppies on a Grid.
Setup <ul class="boxes"> <li>Box 1</li> <li>Box 2</li> <li>Box 3</li> <li>Box
4</li> <li>Box 5</li> <li>Box 6</li> </ul> Now let’s get these puppies on a Grid. .boxes { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(300px, 1fr)); grid-gap: 1rem; }
Whoa! Hold Up.
Let’s Dissect This .boxes { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(300px,
1fr)); grid-gap: 1rem; }
None
Mind. Blown.
Special Portfolio-Inspired Layout
Setup <ul class="portfolio"> <li>Item One</li> <li>Item Two</li> <li>Item Three</li> <li>Item
Four</li> <li>Item Five</li> </ul>
Setup <ul class="portfolio"> <li>Item One</li> <li>Item Two</li> <li>Item Three</li> <li>Item
Four</li> <li>Item Five</li> </ul> And setup our Grid container.
Setup <ul class="portfolio"> <li>Item One</li> <li>Item Two</li> <li>Item Three</li> <li>Item
Four</li> <li>Item Five</li> </ul> And setup our Grid container. .portfolio { display: grid; grid-auto-rows: minmax(100px, auto); grid-gap: 2px; grid-template-columns: repeat(6, 1fr); }
grid-auto-rows
Let’s Place Our Items .portfolio li:nth-child(1) { grid-column: 1 /
-1; } .portfolio li:nth-child(2) { grid-column: 1 / span 2; grid-row-end: span 3; } .portfolio li:nth-child(3) { grid-column: 3 / span 4; grid-row-end: span 2; } .portfolio li:nth-child(4), .portfolio li:nth-child(5) { grid-column: span 2; }
