Use grid to build complex, multi-column layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and maintain consistent alignment. Grid follows the CSS grid layout pattern and supports flexible column configurations, gap spacing, and alignment properties for precise layout control. For simpler linear layouts (horizontal or vertical), use [stack](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-home/v1.1-rc/web-components/layout-and-structure/stack). #### Use cases * **Grid layouts:** Create responsive grid layouts with configurable columns. * **Card arrangements:** Arrange cards or content in grid patterns. * **Responsive design:** Build layouts that adapt column counts based on screen size. * **Equal spacing:** Maintain equal spacing between grid items. *** ## Properties Configure the following properties on the grid component. * **grid​Template​Columns** **string** **Default: 'none'** The columns in the grid and their sizes.

Also accepts a [responsive value](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/polaris/using-web-components#responsive-values) string with the supported `PaddingKeyword` as a query value. * **padding​Inline​End** **MaybeResponsive<"" | PaddingKeyword>** **Default: '' - meaning no override** The inline-end padding (right in LTR writing modes, left in RTL). Overrides the inline-end value from `paddingInline`. Also accepts a [responsive value](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/polaris/using-web-components#responsive-values) string with the supported `PaddingKeyword` as a query value. * **border** **BorderShorthand** **Default: 'none'** A border applied using shorthand syntax to specify width, color, and style in a single property. * **border​Width** **"" | MaybeAllValuesShorthandProperty<"small-100" | "small" | "base" | "large" | "large-100" | "none">** **Default: '' - meaning no override** The thickness of the border on all sides. When set, this overrides the width value specified in the `border` property. * **border​Style** **"" | MaybeAllValuesShorthandProperty\** **Default: '' - meaning no override** The visual style of the border on all sides, such as solid, dashed, or dotted. When set, this overrides the style value specified in the `border` property. * **border​Color** **"" | ColorKeyword** **Default: '' - meaning no override** The color of the border using the design system's color scale. When set, this overrides the color value specified in the `border` property. * **border​Radius** **MaybeAllValuesShorthandProperty\** **Default: 'none'** The roundedness of the element's corners using the design system's radius scale. * **accessibility​Label** **string** A label that describes the purpose or content of the component for assistive technologies like screen readers. Use this to provide additional context when the visible content alone doesn't clearly convey the component's purpose. * **accessibility​Visibility** **"visible" | "hidden" | "exclusive"** **Default: 'visible'** The visibility mode of the element for both visual and assistive technology users. * `visible`: The element is visible to all users (both sighted users and screen readers). * `hidden`: The element is visually visible but hidden from screen readers. Use this for decorative elements that don't provide meaningful information. * `exclusive`: The element is visually hidden but announced by screen readers. Use this for screen-reader-only content like skip links or additional context. * **display** **MaybeResponsive<"auto" | "none">** **Default: 'auto'** The outer [display](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display) type of the component. The outer type sets a component's participation in [flow layout](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_flow_layout). * `auto` the component's initial value. The actual value depends on the component and context. * `none` hides the component from display and removes it from the accessibility tree, making it invisible to screen readers. ### Slots The grid item component supports slots for additional content placement within the component. Learn more about [using slots](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/polaris/using-polaris-web-components#slots). * **children** **HTMLElement** The content displayed within the grid item component, which represents a single cell in the grid layout and can span multiple columns or rows. *** ## Examples ### Add a grid layout with column spans Create a grid layout with columns and grid items that span them. This example shows a two-column grid with a full-width header row and two equal columns below. ## html ```html Summary of sales Orders Customers ``` ### Create a two-column layout Create a simple two-column layout. This example uses a 12-column grid system with equal-width columns. ## html ```html Left column Right column ``` ### Build layouts with column spans Use a 12-column grid system with spans to create full-width, half-width, and third-width column arrangements. This example shows multiple rows with progressively narrower columns. ## html ```html Full width field Half width field Half width field Third width field Third width field Third width field ``` ### Create a responsive grid with container queries Use the `gridTemplateColumns` property with container queries to automatically adjust the column count based on available width. This example shows a grid that switches from a single column in narrow containers to three columns in wider ones. ## html ```html Narrow container (375px) Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Wide container (450px) Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 ``` *** ## Best practices * **Design for different screen sizes:** Layouts that work well on desktop often fail on mobile. Plan how your grid should reflow or reconfigure for smaller screens rather than creating a fixed layout that doesn't adapt. * **Keep spacing consistent:** Consistent spacing between grid items creates visual rhythm and makes layouts easier to scan. Avoid mixing different spacing approaches within the same grid. * **Consider content overflow:** Grid cells have fixed dimensions, but content length varies. Plan how your layout handles content that's too long or too wide, whether through wrapping, truncation, or scrolling. * **Use semantic alternatives when appropriate:** Before using the component, consider whether simpler layout components would work. Grid's power comes with complexity, so use it when you need its specific capabilities. *** ## Limitations * The component doesn't support CSS subgrid for aligning nested grid tracks with parent grids. If you need nested grids to align with parent grid lines, you'll need to manually coordinate the sizing or use a different layout approach. ***
