CSS Grid Layout

CSS Grid is a powerful layout system that allows you to create complex two-dimensional layouts with ease.

Basic Grid Example

  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  gap: 20px;
}
      

Flexbox for Components

Flexbox is perfect for one-dimensional layouts and component alignment:


.flex-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
}

  --spacing-unit: 1rem;
}
