Solving layout problems with CSS Grid and friends

Talkat Mirror Conf 2017 · 2017-10-12..10-13· [css, web-platform]

CSS Grid ships to most browsers in 2017 and provides two-dimensional layout where columns and rows are defined on the container rather than sized per item. Practical techniques shown include using fr unit for proportional space, minmax(200px, 1fr) with autofill/autofit to create responsive columns, mixing fixed tracks like a 400px sidebar plus 20px gutters, and content-aware sizing with min-content/max-content/fit-content. Note subgrid is not in level 1 yet, and feature queries are recommended for graceful fallbacks to older methods.
