Frequently Asked Questions
Flexbox is designed for laying out items in a single row or column (one-dimensional), while CSS Grid is designed for laying out items across both rows and columns at once (two-dimensional). Grid is generally the better fit for whole-page layouts and structured tables of content; Flexbox often suits smaller components like navigation bars or button groups.
Not necessarily — by default, grid items are placed automatically into the grid in source order, one per cell. This tool generates the container CSS that sets up that structure; individual items can optionally use properties like grid-column or grid-row to span multiple cells if needed.
repeat(3, 1fr) is shorthand for writing "1fr 1fr 1fr" — it avoids repeating the same track size multiple times. The fr unit represents a fraction of the remaining available space, so 1fr columns divide the container evenly.
