This is one of those things where you look at several tutorials and see multiple that are not as helpful for whatever reason, maybe you feel like they aren't explaining things well, or they are going about things in this roundabout way, or skimming over some crucial aspect or whatever, or they assume some prerequisite knowledge you may not have, and it just makes it hard to understand 100%. Then you watch this one and it just clicks so much easier like -- "why didn't people explain it this way to begin with." I guess the usefulness of tutorials can vary for lots of reasons including your skill level, but this is the one that helped me the most. Very simple and to the point and easy to follow and I now understand enough about grids that I can immediately begin using them.

Quick question... when would you use flexbox then? For example, for a single page application, wouldn't you use flexbox instead of grid?

@cwinter90 4 жыл бұрын

@@AccessCode101 I pretty much only use Flexbox to make containers space evenly. So pretty much I only use flexbox to justify-content: space-between. Everything else I've had to do for my job I haven't had any problems using grid. I deal with a lot of pixel perfect layouts in my job where all spacing is exact down to a few couple pixels. There really isn't much flexing going on. I just prefer to use grid as often as possible. I absolutely love grid template areas to move things around especially since it kind of gives you a visual while typing it out. Ever been to a fast food place and they have digital menus instead of paper? (In the US) Well, that's my job. Large corporations generally like everything on their screens exact and I've found grid to be the easiest way to accomplish that personally. As for a SPA I don't see how any of that differs when using React or Vue or Angular or whatever else. It all updates dynamically. All the CSS is scoped per component and you can have grids inside of grids inside of grids without any problem and with the fractions, min-content, max-content or anything else you can accomplish whatever you need with grid.

@cwinter90 4 жыл бұрын

@@AccessCode101 For example SPA main grid for your overall website layout. Then with a section in the middle that updates inside of that section in the middle you can use grid template areas to layout all of your individual components like forms or whatever else. Form grid: grid-template-areas: ". title ." "formContent formContent formContent" ". . submit"; In formContent you just spit in all your divs and each div contains inputs. Input grid: grid-template-areas: "label input" . validationCheckError"; It kind of gives you a visual representation of how each component lays out just looking at the CSS. The validationCheckError would just have either a fixed height so there is always room for it whether or not it's needed or you could use min-content on that row's height and with an dom if statement it only takes up space if it is actively stamped to the DOM.

Row/column definition by start and end line is easier when you think of the numbers as coordinates. Example kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7RyYK11nM-0n4U.htmlm49s You say “yum starts on line 3 ends on 4 in terms of columns and starts on line 2 ends on 3 for the rows.” Then you edit every 2nd number in the code. My suggestion: Just think of the grid lines as coordinates: “yum starts at 3/2 for the left upper corner and ends at 4/3 for its lower right.” Type the coordinates in this natural order and you get the same result without twisting your brain into knots ;-) That said: Great explanation especially concerning the management of each tracks dimensions Just began using grids and sponged up every KZfaq video on this, topic. Yours is definitely in the top tier.

@DesignCourse 3:03 for future grid teachings may want to occasionally include an animation shifting the grid numbers from centers to starts, this seems to be a consistent pain as most have been conditioned to expect the numbers to be conceptually centered to the respective grid but it almost uintuitively starts on the edges/joints

You just write in 3/1/4/3 format and the computer just fills the fitting square. Thanks for this video, this is a very easy way to grid.

Maybe that's a stupid question, but why do we have to put slashes between arguments in grid-column etc? Normally, we split the arguments with space, but this specific attribute requires slashes. Why is it different? EDIT Okay, I've figured it out. Basically you can name grid lines e.g. 'col-start 7'. There can be a space in the name, so we can't just use space to split arguments, so we have to use something else. That's the why of the slashes

When defining columns/rows with the FR unit, is there a best practice or convention that says the sum of those FR units need should be even? I noticed for the columns you chose 1fr 1.2fr 1.5 fr (equals 3.7fr total instead of 4fr for example). Thanks!

@neutralface 4 жыл бұрын

The sum of 'fr' -values tells how many frs is 100%. Total of 3.7frs is no different than total of 4frs since both equal 100% of the width . So the sum of all fr's shouldn't matter, only the individual frs does (e.g. *1fr* / 3.7frs = ~27%, and *1fr* / 4frs = 25%).
