Grid

Atomic CSS grid classes allow you to quickly add native css grids to your container.

Overview

CSS Grids are the most powerful layout system available in CSS. It has two dimensions, meaning it can handle both columns and rows simultaneously, unlike flex layouts which can only do one at a time. Applying .d-grid to a container will lay out its children according to the CSS Grid layout spec. Adding atomic modifying classes will change the layout’s behavior. Applying classes to an individual .grid--item will change that cell’s behavior.

Columns

Section titled Columns

To define a discrete number of columns in your grid layout, you can add a grid__[x] modifying class.

Autoflow

Section titled Autoflow

If you have grid items that you don’t explicitly place on the grid, the auto-placement algorithm kicks in to automatically place the items.

Autoflow classes

Section titled Autoflow classes

Class	Output	Definition
`.g-af-row`	`grid-auto-flow: row`	Items are placed by filling each row in turn, adding new rows as necessary. The default.
`.g-af-column`	`grid-auto-flow: column`	Items are placed by filling each column in turn, adding new columns as necessary.
`.g-af-dense`	`grid-auto-flow: dense`	Dense packing algorithm attempts to fill in holes earlier in the grid, if smaller items come up later. This may cause items to appear out-of-order, when doing so would fill in holes left by larger items.
