The meaning of auto-fill in CSS grids
To set the size of equal columns of a grid container, it is very convenient to specify the value auto-fill in the repeat function, thanks to which our container will be filled with equal columns of the width we need.
Let's make a table of eight elements and give each column the same width of 200px. Let the auto-fill value calculate the required number of columns:
<div id="parent">
<div>1</div>
<div>2</div>
<div>3</div>
<div>4</div>
<div>5</div>
<div>6</div>
<div>7</div>
<div>8</div>
</div>
#parent {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, 200px);
border: 2px solid #696989;
padding: 10px;
}
#parent > div {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #696989;
}
:
Set the column width to 200px. Change the parent width and see how the number of columns changes.
