    Source@chakra-ui/layout

Import#

import { Grid, GridItem } from '@chakra-ui/react'
  • Grid: The main wrapper with display: grid.
  • GridItem: Used as a child of Grid to control the span, and start positions within the grid.

Template columns#

Here's an example of using grid template columns with the grid component, and applying a gap or space between the grid items.

<Grid templateColumns='repeat(5, 1fr)' gap={6}>
  <GridItem w='100%' h='10' bg='blue.500' />
  <GridItem w='100%' h='10' bg='blue.500' />
  <GridItem w='100%' h='10' bg='blue.500' />
  <GridItem w='100%' h='10' bg='blue.500' />
  <GridItem w='100%' h='10' bg='blue.500' />
</Grid>

Spanning columns#

In some layouts, you may need certain grid items to span specific amount of columns or rows instead of an even distribution. To achieve this, you need to pass the colSpan prop to the GridItem component to span across columns and also pass the rowSpan component to span across rows. You also need to specify the templateColumns and templateRows.

<Grid
  h='200px'
  templateRows='repeat(2, 1fr)'
  templateColumns='repeat(5, 1fr)'
  gap={4}
>
  <GridItem rowSpan={2} colSpan={1} bg='tomato' />
  <GridItem colSpan={2} bg='papayawhip' />
  <GridItem colSpan={2} bg='papayawhip' />
  <GridItem colSpan={4} bg='tomato' />
</Grid>

Starting and ending lines#

Pass the colStart and colEnd prop to GridItem component to make an element start or end at the nth grid position.

<Grid templateColumns='repeat(5, 1fr)' gap={4}>
  <GridItem colSpan={2} h='10' bg='tomato' />
  <GridItem colStart={4} colEnd={6} h='10' bg='papayawhip' />
</Grid>

Template areas#

The templateAreas prop specifies areas within the grid layout. Use template literals to name the area. Now you can reference the area by passing area prop in the <GridItem /> component.

<Grid
  templateAreas={`"header header"
                  "nav main"
                  "nav footer"`}
  gridTemplateRows={'50px 1fr 30px'}
  gridTemplateColumns={'150px 1fr'}
  h='200px'
  gap='1'
  color='blackAlpha.700'
  fontWeight='bold'
>
  <GridItem pl='2' bg='orange.300' area={'header'}>
    Header
  </GridItem>
  <GridItem pl='2' bg='pink.300' area={'nav'}>
    Nav
  </GridItem>
  <GridItem pl='2' bg='green.300' area={'main'}>
    Main
  </GridItem>
  <GridItem pl='2' bg='blue.300' area={'footer'}>
    Footer
  </GridItem>
</Grid>
