/Intermediate
Grid Container
Definition
A utility class (`grid`) that activates CSS Grid layout on an element, creating a two-dimensional layout system.
Explain Like I'm New
Flexbox is for 1-dimensional layouts (a single Row OR a single Column). CSS Grid is for 2-dimensional layouts (Rows AND Columns at the same time). Think of it like an Excel spreadsheet. You create the columns, and throw items into the cells.
Real World Example
Creating an Instagram-style photo gallery with exactly 3 columns on desktop, but changing it to 1 column on a mobile phone.
Common Use Cases
