Bug - grid - .body-container

[r9young]

Issue: I'm experiencing an issue with my grid layout where I don't need the rows to divide the space into equal thirds automatically. Instead, I want each row to adjust its size based on its content. How can I achieve this?

.body-container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: auto;
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
}

Solution:

If your goal is for the rows in your grid to adjust their size based on the content they contain, rather than each taking up exactly one-third of the available space, you should use auto instead of 1fr for the grid-template-rows property. This change makes each row size itself automatically to fit its content. Here’s how you can adjust your CSS:

.body-container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: auto; /* defines one column */
    grid-template-rows: auto auto auto; /* each row sizes to fit its content */
}

In this setup:

• Columns: There is one column whose width automatically adjusts to fit its content.
• Rows: Each row is set to auto, which means the height of each row will expand or contract to accommodate the content it contains. This approach is useful when the amount of content varies significantly between rows and you do not wish to have unused space or overly compressed content.

This configuration ensures that each row only uses as much vertical space as its content requires, making it flexible and content-responsive.
