Introduction to CSS Grid [Introduction to CSS Grid](#aa-introduction-to-css-grid)
CSS Grid Layout (aka “Grid” or “CSS Grid”), is a two-dimensional grid-based layout system that, compared to any web layout system of the past, completely changes the way we design user interfaces.CSS has always been used to layout our web pages, but it’s never done a very good job of it.First, we used tables, then floats, positioning and inline-block, but all of these methods were essentially hacks and left out a lot of important functionality (vertical centering, for instance).
Flexbox is also a very great layout tool, but its one-directional flow has different use cases — and they actually work together quite well! Grid is the very first CSS module created specifically to solve the layout problems we’ve all been hacking our way around for as long as we’ve been making websites.
The intention of this guide is to present the Grid concepts as they exist in the latest version of the specification.So I won’t be covering the out-of-date Internet Explorer syntax (even though you can absolutely
use Grid in IE 11) or other historical hacks.
CSS Grid basics [CSS Grid basics](#aa-css-grid-basics)
As of March 2017, most browsers shipped native, unprefixed support for CSS Grid: Chrome (including on Android), Firefox, Safari (including on iOS), and Opera.Internet Explorer 10 and 11 on the other hand support it, but it’s an old implementation with an outdated syntax.The time to build with grid is now!
To get started you have to define a container element as a grid with
, set the column and row sizes with
display: grid
and
grid-template-columns
, and then place its child elements into the grid with
grid-template-rows
and
grid-column
.Similarly to flexbox, the source order of the grid items doesn’t matter.
Your CSS can place them in any order, which makes it super easy to rearrange your grid with media queries.
Imagine defining the layout of your entire page, and then completely rearranging it to accommodate a different screen width all with only a couple lines of CSS.Grid is one of the most powerful CSS modules ever introduced.

Important CSS Grid terminology [Important CSS Grid terminology](#aa-important-css-grid-terminology)
Before diving into the concepts of Grid it’s important to understand the terminology.Since the terms involved here are all kinda conceptually similar, it’s easy to confuse them with one another if you don’t first memorize their meanings defined by the Grid specification.But don’t worry, there aren’t many of them.
Grid Container
The element on which
display: grid is applied.It’s the direct parent of all the grid items.In this example
container is the grid container.
Grid Line
The dividing lines that make up the structure of the grid.
They can be either vertical (“column grid lines”) or horizontal (“row grid lines”) and reside on either side of a row or column.Here the yellow line is an example of a column grid line.
Grid Track
The space between two adjacent grid lines.
You can think of them as the columns or rows of the grid.Here’s the grid track between the second and third-row grid lines.
Grid Area
The total space surrounded by four grid lines.A grid area may be composed of any number of grid cells.Here’s the grid area between row grid lines 1 and 3, and column grid lines 1 and 3.
Grid Item
The children (i.e.
direct descendants) of the grid container.Here the
item elements are grid items, but
sub-item isn’t.
Grid Cell
The space between two adjacent row and two adjacent column grid lines.It’s a single “unit” of the grid.Here’s the grid cell between row grid lines 1 and 2, and column grid lines 2 and 3.
CSS Grid properties [CSS Grid properties](#aa-css-grid-properties)
Properties for the Parent
(Grid Container)
Jump links
display
Defines the element as a grid container and establishes a new grid formatting context for its contents.
Values:
grid– generates a block-level grid
inline-grid– generates an inline-level grid
.container { display: grid | inline-grid; }
The ability to pass grid parameters down through nested elements (aka subgrids) has been moved to
level 2 of the CSS Grid specification.
Here’s a quick explanation.
grid-template-columns
grid-template-rows
Defines the columns and rows of the grid with a space-separated list of values.
The values represent the track size, and the space between them represents the grid line.
Values:
unit (
fr
.container { grid-template-columns: ……; /* e.g.1fr 1fr minmax(10px, 1fr) 3fr repeat(5, 1fr) 50px auto 100px 1fr */ grid-template-rows: ……; /* e.g.min-content 1fr min-content 100px 1fr max-content */ }
Grid lines are automatically assigned positive numbers from these assignments (-1 being an alternate for the very last row).
But you can choose to explicitly name the lines.
Note the bracket syntax for the line names:
.container { grid-template-columns: [first] 40px [line2] 50px [line3] auto [col4-start] 50px [five] 40px [end]; grid-template-rows: [row1-start] 25% [row1-end] 100px [third-line] auto [last-line]; }
Note that a line can have more than one name.For example, here the second line will have two names: row1-end and row2-start:
.container { grid-template-rows: [row1-start] 25% [row1-end row2-start] 25% [row2-end]; }
If your definition contains repeating parts, you can use the
to streamline things: repeat() notation
.container { grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 20px [col-start]); }
Which is equivalent to this:
.container { grid-template-columns: 20px [col-start] 20px [col-start] 20px [col-start]; }
If multiple lines share the same name, they can be referenced by their line name and count.
.item { grid-column-start: col-start 2; }
The
fr unit allows you to set the size of a track as a fraction of the free space of the grid container.
For example, this will set each item to one third the width of the grid container:
.container { grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr; }
The free space is calculated after any non-flexible items.In this example the total amount of free space available to the
fr units doesn’t include the 50px:
.container { grid-template-columns: 1fr 50px 1fr 1fr; }
grid-template-areas
Defines a grid template by referencing the names of the grid areas which are specified with the
property.Repeating the name of a grid area causes the content to span those cells.
A period signifies an empty cell.The syntax itself provides a visualization of the structure of the grid.
grid-area
Values:
grid-area
.– a period signifies an empty grid cell
none– no grid areas are defined
.container { grid-template-areas: “
Example:
.item-a { grid-area: header; } .item-b { grid-area: main; } .item-c { grid-area: sidebar; } .item-d { grid-area: footer; } .container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 50px 50px 50px 50px; grid-template-rows: auto; grid-template-areas: “header header header header” “main main .sidebar” “footer footer footer footer”; }
That’ll create a grid that’s four columns wide by three rows tall.The entire top row will be composed of the header area.
The middle row will be composed of two main areas, one empty cell, and one sidebar area.The last row is all footer.
Each row in your declaration needs to have the same number of cells.
You can use any number of adjacent periods to declare a single empty cell.As long as the periods have no spaces between them they represent a single cell.
Notice that you’re not naming lines with this syntax, just areas.When you use this syntax the lines on either end of the areas are actually getting named automatically.
If the name of your grid area is foo, the name of the area’s starting row line and starting column line will be foo-start, and the name of its last row line and last column line will be foo-end.This means that some lines might have multiple names, such as the far left line in the above example, which will have three names: header-start, main-start, and footer-start.
grid-template
A shorthand for setting
,
grid-template-rows
, and
grid-template-columns
in a single declaration.
grid-template-areas
Values:
none– sets all three properties to their initial values
and
grid-template-columns
to the specified values, respectively, and sets
grid-template-rows
to
grid-template-areas
none
.container { grid-template: none |
It also accepts a more complex but quite handy syntax for specifying all three.Here’s an example:
.container { grid-template: [row1-start] “header header header” 25px [row1-end] [row2-start] “footer footer footer” 25px [row2-end] / auto 50px auto; }
That’s equivalent to this:
.container { grid-template-rows: [row1-start] 25px [row1-end row2-start] 25px [row2-end]; grid-template-columns: auto 50px auto; grid-template-areas: “header header header” “footer footer footer”; }
Since
grid-template doesn’t reset the implicit grid properties (
,
grid-auto-columns
, and
grid-auto-rows
), which is probably what you want to do in most cases, it’s recommended to use the
grid-auto-flow
property instead of
grid
grid-template.
column-gap
row-gap
grid-column-gap
grid-row-gap
Specifies the size of the grid lines.You can think of it like setting the width of the gutters between the columns/rows.
Values:
.container { /* standard */ column-gap:
Example:
.container { grid-template-columns: 100px 50px 100px; grid-template-rows: 80px auto 80px; column-gap: 10px; row-gap: 15px; }
The gutters are only created between the columns/rows, not on the outer edges.
Note: The
grid- prefix will be removed and
grid-column-gap and
grid-row-gap renamed to
column-gap and
row-gap.
The unprefixed properties are already supported in Chrome 68+, Safari 11.2 Release 50+, and Opera 54+.
gap
grid-gap
A shorthand for
and
row-gap column-gap
Values:
.container { /* standard */ gap:
Example:
.container { grid-template-columns: 100px 50px 100px; grid-template-rows: 80px auto 80px; gap: 15px 10px; }
If no
is specified, it’s set to the same value as
row-gap column-gap
Note: The
grid- prefix is deprecated (but who knows, may never actually be removed from browsers).Essentially
grid-gap renamed to
gap.The unprefixed property is already supported in Chrome 68+, Safari 11.2 Release 50+, and Opera 54+.
justify-items
Aligns grid items along the inline (row) axis (as opposed to
which aligns along the block (column) axis).This value applies to all grid items inside the container.
align-items
Values:
start– aligns items to be flush with the start edge of their cell
end– aligns items to be flush with the end edge of their cell
center– aligns items in the center of their cell
stretch– fills the whole width of the cell (this is the default)
.container { justify-items: start | end | center | stretch; }
Examples:
.container { justify-items: start; }
.container { justify-items: end; }
.container { justify-items: center; }
.container { justify-items: stretch; }
This behavior can also be set on individual grid items via the
property.
justify-self
align-items
Aligns grid items along the block (column) axis (as opposed to
which aligns along the inline (row) axis).This value applies to all grid items inside the container.
justify-items
Values:
stretch– fills the whole height of the cell (this is the default)
start– aligns items to be flush with the start edge of their cell
end– aligns items to be flush with the end edge of their cell
center– aligns items in the center of their cell
baseline– align items
along text baseline.There are modifiers to
baseline—
first baselineand
last baselinewhich will use the baseline from the first or last line in the case of multi-line text.
.container { align-items: start | end | center | stretch; }
Examples:
.container { align-items: start; }
.container { align-items: end; }
.container { align-items: center; }
.container { align-items: stretch; }
This behavior can also be set on individual grid items via the
property.
align-self
There are also modifier keywords
safe and
unsafe (usage is like
align-items: safe end).The
safe keyword means “try to align like this, but not if it means aligning an item such that it moves into inaccessible overflow area”, while
unsafe will allow moving content into inaccessible areas (“data loss”).
place-items
place-items sets both the
align-items and
justify-items properties in a single declaration.
Values:
align-items, the second value
justify-items.If the second value is omitted, the first value is assigned to both properties.
For more details, see
and align-items .
justify-items
This can be very useful for super quick multi-directional centering:
.center { display: grid; place-items: center; }
justify-content
Sometimes the total size of your grid might be less than the size of its grid container.
This could happen if all of your grid items are sized with non-flexible units like
px.In this case you can set the alignment of the grid within the grid container.This property aligns the grid along the inline (row) axis (as opposed to
which aligns the grid along the block (column) axis).
align-content
Values:
start– aligns the grid to be flush with the start edge of the grid container
end– aligns the grid to be flush with the end edge of the grid container
center– aligns the grid in the center of the grid container
stretch– resizes the grid items to allow the grid to fill the full width of the grid container
space-around– places an even amount of space between each grid item, with half-sized spaces on the far ends
space-between– places an even amount of space between each grid item, with no space at the far ends
space-evenly– places an even amount of space between each grid item, including the far ends
.container { justify-content: start | end | center | stretch | space-around | space-between | space-evenly; }
Examples:
.container { justify-content: start; }
.container { justify-content: end; }
.container { justify-content: center; }
.container { justify-content: stretch; }
.container { justify-content: space-around; }
.container { justify-content: space-between; }
.container { justify-content: space-evenly; }
align-content
Sometimes the total size of your grid might be less than the size of its grid container.This could happen if all of your grid items are sized with non-flexible units like
px.
In this case you can set the alignment of the grid within the grid container.This property aligns the grid along the block (column) axis (as opposed to
which aligns the grid along the inline (row) axis).
justify-content
Values:
start– aligns the grid to be flush with the start edge of the grid container
end– aligns the grid to be flush with the end edge of the grid container
center– aligns the grid in the center of the grid container
stretch– resizes the grid items to allow the grid to fill the full height of the grid container
space-around– places an even amount of space between each grid item, with half-sized spaces on the far ends
space-between– places an even amount of space between each grid item, with no space at the far ends
space-evenly– places an even amount of space between each grid item, including the far ends
.container { align-content: start | end | center | stretch | space-around | space-between | space-evenly; }
Examples:
.container { align-content: start; }
.container { align-content: end; }
.container { align-content: center; }
.container { align-content: stretch; }
.container { align-content: space-around; }
.container { align-content: space-between; }
.container { align-content: space-evenly; }
place-content
place-content sets both the
align-content and
justify-content properties in a single declaration.
Values:
align-content, the second value
justify-content.If the second value is omitted, the first value is assigned to both properties.
All major browsers except Edge support the
place-content shorthand property.

justify-content
grid-auto-columns
grid-auto-rows
Specifies the size of any auto-generated grid tracks (aka implicit grid tracks).Implicit tracks get created when there are more grid items than cells in the grid or when a grid item is placed outside of the explicit grid.(see
The Difference Between Explicit and Implicit Grids)
Values:
unit)
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/#fr-unit
.container { grid-auto-columns:
To illustrate how implicit grid tracks get created, think about this:
.container { grid-template-columns: 60px 60px; grid-template-rows: 90px 90px; }
This creates a 2 x 2 grid.
But now imagine you use
and
grid-column
to position your grid items like this:
grid-row
.item-a { grid-column: 1 / 2; grid-row: 2 / 3; } .item-b { grid-column: 5 / 6; grid-row: 2 / 3; }
We told .item-b to start on column line 5 and end at column line 6, but we never defined a column line 5 or 6.
Because we referenced lines that don’t exist, implicit tracks with widths of 0 are created to fill in the gaps.We can use
and
grid-auto-columns
to specify the widths of these implicit tracks:
grid-auto-rows
.container { grid-auto-columns: 60px; }
grid-auto-flow
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.This property controls how the auto-placement algorithm works.
Values:
row– tells the auto-placement algorithm to fill in each row in turn, adding new rows as necessary (default)
column– tells the auto-placement algorithm to fill in each column in turn, adding new columns as necessary
dense– tells the auto-placement algorithm to attempt to fill in holes earlier in the grid if smaller items come up later
.container { grid-auto-flow: row | column | row dense | column dense; }
Note that dense only changes the visual order of your items and might cause them to appear out of order, which is bad for accessibility.
Examples:
Consider this HTML:
You define a grid with five columns and two rows, and set
grid-auto-flow to
row (which is also the default):
.container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 60px 60px 60px 60px 60px; grid-template-rows: 30px 30px; grid-auto-flow: row; }
When placing the items on the grid, you only specify spots for two of them:
.item-a { grid-column: 1; grid-row: 1 / 3; } .item-e { grid-column: 5; grid-row: 1 / 3; }
Because we set
grid-auto-flow to
row, our grid will look like this.Notice how the three items we didn’t place (item-b, item-c and item-d) flow across the available rows:
If we instead set
grid-auto-flow to
column, item-b, item-c and item-d flow down the columns:
.container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 60px 60px 60px 60px 60px; grid-template-rows: 30px 30px; grid-auto-flow: column; }
grid
A shorthand for setting all of the following properties in a single declaration:
,
grid-template-rows
,
grid-template-columns
,
grid-template-areas
,
grid-auto-rows
, and
grid-auto-columns
(Note: You can only specify the explicit or the implicit grid properties in a single grid declaration).
grid-auto-flow
Values:
none– sets all sub-properties to their initial values.
shorthand.
grid-template
to the specified value.If the
grid-template-rows
auto-flowkeyword is to the right of the slash, it sets
to
grid-auto-flow
column.
If the
densekeyword is specified additionally, the auto-placement algorithm uses a “dense” packing algorithm.If
is omitted, it is set to
grid-auto-columns
auto.
[ auto-flow && dense? ]
to the specified value.If the
grid-template-columns
auto-flowkeyword is to the left of the slash, it sets
to
grid-auto-flow
row.If the
densekeyword is specified additionally, the auto-placement algorithm uses a “dense” packing algorithm.If
is omitted, it is set to
grid-auto-rows
auto.
Examples:
The following two code blocks are equivalent:
.container { grid: 100px 300px / 3fr 1fr; } .container { grid-template-rows: 100px 300px; grid-template-columns: 3fr 1fr; }
The following two code blocks are equivalent:
.container { grid: auto-flow / 200px 1fr; } .container { grid-auto-flow: row; grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr; }
The following two code blocks are equivalent:
.container { grid: auto-flow dense 100px / 1fr 2fr; } .container { grid-auto-flow: row dense; grid-auto-rows: 100px; grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr; }
And the following two code blocks are equivalent:
.container { grid: 100px 300px / auto-flow 200px; } .container { grid-template-rows: 100px 300px; grid-auto-flow: column; grid-auto-columns: 200px; }
It also accepts a more complex but quite handy syntax for setting everything at once.
You specify
,
grid-template-areas
and
grid-template-rows
, and all the other sub-properties are set to their initial values.What you’re doing is specifying the line names and track sizes inline with their respective grid areas.
This is easiest to describe with an example:
grid-template-columns
.container { grid: [row1-start] “header header header” 1fr [row1-end] [row2-start] “footer footer footer” 25px [row2-end] / auto 50px auto; }
That’s equivalent to this:
.container { grid-template-areas: “header header header” “footer footer footer”; grid-template-rows: [row1-start] 1fr [row1-end row2-start] 25px [row2-end]; grid-template-columns: auto 50px auto; }
Properties for the Children
(Grid Items)
Jump links
float,
display: inline-block,
display: table-cell,
vertical-align and
column-* properties have no effect on a grid item.
grid-column-start
grid-column-end
grid-row-start
grid-row-end
Determines a grid item’s location within the grid by referring to specific grid lines.
grid-column-start/
grid-row-start is the line where the item begins, and
grid-column-end/
grid-row-end is the line where the item ends.
Values:
span
span
auto– indicates auto-placement, an automatic span, or a default span of one
.item { grid-column-start:
Examples:
.item-a { grid-column-start: 2; grid-column-end: five; grid-row-start: row1-start; grid-row-end: 3; }
.item-b { grid-column-start: 1; grid-column-end: span col4-start; grid-row-start: 2; grid-row-end: span 2; }
If no
grid-column-end/
grid-row-end is declared, the item will span 1 track by default.
Items can overlap each other.You can use
z-index to control their stacking order.
Learn more about the
span notation in
this article by DigitalOcean.
grid-column
grid-row
Shorthand for
+
grid-column-start
, and
grid-column-end
+
grid-row-start
, respectively.
grid-row-end
Values:
.item { grid-column:
Example:
.item-c { grid-column: 3 / span 2; grid-row: third-line / 4; }
If no end line value is declared, the item will span 1 track by default.
grid-area
Gives an item a name so that it can be referenced by a template created with the
property.Alternatively, this property can be used as an even shorter shorthand for
grid-template-areas
+
grid-row-start
+
grid-column-start
+
grid-row-end
.
grid-column-end
Values:
.item { grid-area:
Examples:
As a way to assign a name to the item:
.item-d { grid-area: header; }
As the short-shorthand for
+
grid-row-start
+
grid-column-start
+
grid-row-end
:
grid-column-end
.item-d { grid-area: 1 / col4-start / last-line / 6; }
justify-self
Aligns a grid item inside a cell along the inline (row) axis (as opposed to
which aligns along the block (column) axis).This value applies to a grid item inside a single cell.
align-self
Values:
start– aligns the grid item to be flush with the start edge of the cell
end– aligns the grid item to be flush with the end edge of the cell
center– aligns the grid item in the center of the cell
stretch– fills the whole width of the cell (this is the default)
.item { justify-self: start | end | center | stretch; }
Examples:
.item-a { justify-self: start; }
.item-a { justify-self: end; }
.item-a { justify-self: center; }
.item-a { justify-self: stretch; }
To set alignment for all the items in a grid, this behavior can also be set on the grid container via the
property.
justify-items
align-self
Aligns a grid item inside a cell along the block (column) axis (as opposed to
which aligns along the inline (row) axis).This value applies to the content inside a single grid item.
justify-self
Values:
start– aligns the grid item to be flush with the start edge of the cell
end– aligns the grid item to be flush with the end edge of the cell
center– aligns the grid item in the center of the cell
stretch– fills the whole height of the cell (this is the default)
.item { align-self: start | end | center | stretch; }
Examples:
.item-a { align-self: start; }
.item-a { align-self: end; }
.item-a { align-self: center; }
.item-a { align-self: stretch; }
To align all the items in a grid, this behavior can also be set on the grid container via the
property.
align-items
place-self
place-self sets both the
align-self and
justify-self properties in a single declaration.
Values:
auto– The “default” alignment for the layout mode.
align-self, the second value
justify-self.If the second value is omitted, the first value is assigned to both properties.
Examples:
.item-a { place-self: center; }
.item-a { place-self: center stretch; }
All major browsers except Edge support the
place-self shorthand property.
Special Units & Functions
fr units
You’ll likely end up using a lot of
fractional units in CSS Grid, like
1fr.They essentially mean “portion of the remaining space”.
So a declaration like:
grid-template-columns: 1fr 3fr;
Means, loosely,
25% 75%.Except that those percentage values are much more firm than fractional units are.For example, if you added padding to those percentage-based columns, now you’ve broken 100% width (assuming a
content-box box model).Fractional units also much more friendly in combination with other units, as you can imagine:
grid-template-columns: 50px min-content 1fr;
Sizing Keywords
When sizing rows and columns, you can use all the
lengths you are used to, like
px, rem, %, etc, but you also have keywords:
min-content: the minimum size of the content.Imagine a line of text like “E pluribus unum”, the min-content is likely the width of the word “pluribus”.
max-content: the maximum size of the content.Imagine the sentence above, the
max-contentis the length of the whole sentence.
auto: this keyword is a lot like
frunits, except that they “lose” the fight in sizing against
frunits when allocating the remaining space.
– Fractional units: see above
Sizing Functions
– The
fit-content()function uses the space available, but never less than
min-contentand never more than
max-content.
– The
minmax()function does exactly what it seems like: it sets a minimum and maximum value for what the length is able to be.
This is useful for in combination with relative units.Like you may want a column to be only able to shrink so far.This is
extremely useful and probably what you want:
grid-template-columns: minmax(100px, 1fr) 3fr;
– The
min()function.
– The
max()function.
The repeat() Function and Keywords
The
repeat() function can save some typing:
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr; /* easier: */ grid-template-columns: repeat(8, 1fr); /* especially when: */ grid-template-columns: repeat(8, minmax(10px, 1fr));
But
repeat() can get extra fancy when combined with keywords:
auto-fill: Fit as many possible columns as possible on a row, even if they are empty.
auto-fit:Fit whatever columns there are into the space.Prefer expanding columns to fill space rather than empty columns.
This bears the most famous snippet in all of CSS Grid and one of the
all-time great CSS tricks:
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
The difference between the keywords is
spelled out in detail here.
Masonry
An experimental feature of CSS grid is masonry layout.Note that there are
lots of approaches to CSS masonry, but mostly of them are trickery and either have major downsides or aren’t what you quite expect.The spec has an official way now, and this is behind a flag in Firefox:
.container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr); grid-template-rows: masonry; }
See Rachel’s article for a deep dive.
Subgrid
Subgrid is an extremely useful feature of grids that allows grid items to have a grid of their own that inherits grid lines from the parent grid.
.parent-grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(9, 1fr); } .grid-item { grid-column: 2 / 7; display: grid; grid-template-columns: subgrid; } .child-of-grid-item { /* gets to participate on parent grid! */ grid-column: 3 / 6; }
This is
only supported in Firefox right now, but it really needs to get everywhere.
It’s also useful to know about
display: contents;.
This is not the same as subgrid, but it can be a useful tool sometimes in a similar fashion.

Fluid width columns that break into more or less columns as space is available, with no media queries!
.grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(200px, 1fr)); /* This is better for small screens, once min() is better supported */ /* grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(min(200px, 100%), 1fr)); */ gap: 1rem; }
CSS Grid animation [CSS Grid animation](#aa-css-grid-animation)
According to the CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1 specification, there are 5 animatable grid properties:
grid-gap,
grid-row-gap,
grid-column-gapas length, percentage, or calc.
grid-template-columns,
grid-template-rowsas a simple list of length, percentage, or calc, provided the only differences are the values of the length, percentage, or calc components in the list.
As of this writing, only the animation of
(grid-)gap,
(grid-)row-gap,
(grid-)column-gap is implemented in any of the tested browsers.
