What's in Grid Level 2?

    Level 2 expands Grid by:
  • adding “subgrid” capabilities for nested grids to participate in the sizing of their parent grids
  • aspect-ratio–controlled gutters

Why do we need subgrid?

The subgrid syntax

Same properties, more values

grid-template-columns: subgrid <line-name-list>?
grid-template-rows: subgrid <line-name-list>?

The subgrid keyword indicates to the browser the nested grid will use the same sizing as its parent along the relevant axis.

.subgrid-container {
  grid-columns: 2 / 5; /* placement for the subgrid container itself */

  display: grid; /* you must still apply a display: grid to the subgrid */
  grid-template-columns: subgrid;
  grid-template-rows: subgrid;
}
