CSS Grid Properties Shorthand

The grid property is a shortened form of writing all the properties of the columns and rows of the grid container. All values are written in one line separated by a slash.

With grid, you can only describe one type of properties in one line - explicit (grid-template-rows, grid-template-columns, grid-template-areas) or implicit (grid-auto-rows, grid-auto-columns, grid-auto-flow). Those properties that are left unspecified take default values.

Example

Let's make a table using the grid property:

<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>9</div>
</div>

#parent {
	display: grid;
	grid: 1fr 1fr 1fr / 1fr 1fr 1fr;
	border: 2px solid #696989;
	padding: 10px;
	width: 600px;
	height: 200px;
}
#parent > div {
	padding: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #696989;
}

Example

Now let's give the second and third rows the same width, and each column a different width:

<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>9</div>
</div>

#parent {
	display: grid;
	grid: 60px 1fr 60px / 20% 1fr 15%;
	border: 2px solid #696989;
	padding: 10px;
	width: 600px;
	height: 300px;
}
#parent > div {
	padding: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #696989;
}

Example

Now in the table from the previous example, let's make the top row two fractions wide, and the first column half a fraction wide:

<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>9</div>
</div>

#parent {
	display: grid;
	grid: 2fr 1fr 1fr / 0.5fr 1fr 1fr;
	border: 2px solid #696989;
	padding: 10px;
	width: 600px;
	height: 400px;
}
#parent > div {
	padding: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #696989;
}
