  • Here we have created a div with class name "container" and inside it we have created 40 div with class name "elements"

CSS -

     .container{
        /* box model properties */
        margin: 3rem auto;
        padding: 2rem;

        /* display properties */
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(5,1fr);
        place-items: center;
        gap: 20px 30px;

        /* UI properties */
        background-color: darkslateblue;
        border-radius: 10px;
      }
      .elements{
        /* box model properties */
        padding: 1rem 2rem;

        /* Display Properties */
        text-align: center;
        /* UI Properties */
        background-color: rgb(169, 158, 238);
        border-radius: 6px;
        color: rgb(41, 42, 43);
      }

      /* Mobile View */
      @media screen and (min-width:250px) and (max-width:480px) {
        .container{
          grid-template-columns: repeat(1,1fr);
        }
      }

       /* Tablet View */
       @media screen and (min-width:481px) and (max-width:768px) {
        .container{
          grid-template-columns: repeat(3,1fr);
        }
      }
       /* Laptop View */
       @media screen and (min-width:769px) and (max-width:1024px) {
        .container{
          grid-template-columns: repeat(4,1fr);
        }
      }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Here we made the div a grid using display:grid property and using grid-template-columns:repeat(5,1fr) , we have created grid with 5 columnsd and 8 rows (8 x 5 = 40 elements), gap:20px 30px means 20px gap between rows and 30px gap between columns and place-items:center means the items will be centered in both horizontally and vertically.
  • Then we did the normal styling to the container class
  • Then we styled the all the div having class name "elements".
  • Then we created a media query for Mobile view with (min-width:250px) and (max-width:480px) and inside it we have set the grid-template-columns:repeat(1,1fr) , it means between 250px and 480px the container will have only one column and 40rows , it is for the mobile users.
  • Then we created a media query for Tablet view with (min-width:481px) and (max-width:768px) and inside it we have set the grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr) , it means between 481px and 768px the container will have 3 columns column and 17 rows , it is for the tablet users.
  • Then we created a media query for Tablet view with (min-width:769px) and (max-width:1024px) and inside it we have set the grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr) , it means between 769px and 1024px the container will have 4 columns column and 13 rows , it is for the small screen or Laptop users.
  • Above 1024px, The grid will have default 5 columns and 10 rows

Thats it for this post.

Hi, why @media screen and (min-width:481px) and (max-width:768px) ?

Isn't cascading enough to mobile first then supercharge with
@media screen and (min-width:480px)
...
@media screen and (min-width:768px)
...
?
Thanks

No need to set ranges of media queries as CSS will apply last rule.
So setting styles from lower to greater viewport width is enough.
