Grid container

Using the value grid or inline-grid on an element turns it into a grid container using CSS grid layout, and any direct children of this element become grid items.

When an element becomes a grid container it establishes a grid formatting context. The direct children can now lay themselves out on any explicit grid defined using {{cssxref("grid-template-columns")}} and {{cssxref("grid-template-rows")}}, or on the implicit grid created when an item is placed outside of the explicit grid.
