Spacing between columns and rows in CSS grids

The gap property allows you to simultaneously set the distance between columns and rows in a grid.

You can pass either one value or two separated by a space. If one value is passed, it specifies the distance between columns and rows. If two values ​​are passed, the first specifies the distance between rows, and the second - between columns.

Example

Let's set the same distance between columns and rows:

html<div id="parent">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
  <div>7</div>
  <div>8</div>
  <div>9</div>
</div>

css#parent {
  display: grid;
  gap: 10px;
  grid-template: 1fr 1fr 1fr / 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 2px solid #696989;
  width: 600px;
  height: 200px;
}
#parent > div {
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
}
