CSS

Responsive Grid with Auto-Adjusting Columns

Create a dynamic, responsive grid layout that automatically adjusts the number of columns based on available space using CSS Grid's `minmax` and `auto-fit` functions.

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  /* Automatically adjust columns: minimum 250px, maximum 1 fraction of available space */
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
  gap: 20px; /* Space between grid items */
  padding: 20px;
  max-width: 1200px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.grid-item {
  background-color: #e0f2f7;
  border: 1px solid #a7d9ed;
  padding: 15px;
  text-align: center;
}
How it works: This CSS Grid snippet creates a highly responsive layout where the number of columns adjusts automatically based on the viewport width. `display: grid` initializes the grid. `grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr))` is the core: `auto-fit` creates as many columns as can fit, each being at least `250px` wide but growing up to `1fr` (one fraction of the remaining space) if more space is available. `gap` defines the spacing between grid items.
