Using CSS subgrid to design advanced layouts
Blog post from LogRocket
CSS has evolved to support complex layouts, with the subgrid feature being a notable addition that enhances grid capabilities by allowing nested grid items to align with parent grid tracks. This feature addresses limitations of traditional nested grids, which operate independently and can result in misalignment of contents. By using the subgrid value for grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows, developers can ensure consistent alignment and flexibility in design layouts. Practical applications of subgrid are demonstrated in responsive card-based and blog post listing layouts, where it facilitates the adoption of parent grid sizing, enabling more cohesive and adaptable designs. The guide also highlights browser support, syntax, and use cases for subgrid, emphasizing its utility in creating advanced and organized layouts that were previously difficult to achieve.
