html - CSS grid wrapping

Question

Is it possible to make a CSS grid wrap without using media queries?

In my case, I have a non-deterministic number of items that I want placed in a grid and I want that grid to wrap. Using Flexbox, I'm unable to reliably space things nicely. I'd like to avoid a bunch of media queries too.

Here's some sample code:

.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-gap: 10px;
  grid-auto-flow: column;
  grid-template-columns: 186px 186px 186px 186px;
}

.grid > * {
  background-color: green;
  height: 200px;
}

<div class="grid">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
</div>

Answer 1

Use either auto-fill or auto-fit as the first argument of the repeat() notation.

<auto-repeat> variant of the repeat() notation:

repeat( [ auto-fill | auto-fit ] , [ <line-names>? <fixed-size> ]+ <line-names>? )

---

auto-fill

When auto-fill is given as the repetition number, if the grid container has a definite size or max size in the relevant axis, then the number of repetitions is the largest possible positive integer that does not cause the grid to overflow its grid container.

.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-gap: 10px;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, 186px);
}

.grid>* {
  background-color: green;
  height: 200px;
}

<div class="grid">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
</div>
