Can I make a CSS grid with dynamic number of rows or columns?

Question

What I wanna do is to make a CSS grid with a dynamic number of cells. For the sake of simplicity, let\'s assume there will always be four cells per row. Can I specify a grid

Answer 1

Okay, after reading the MDN reference, I found the answer! The key to dynamic rows (or columns) is the repeat property.

const COLORS = [
  '#FE9',
  '#9AF',
  '#F9A',
  "#AFA",
  "#FA7"
];

function addItem(container, template) {
  let color = COLORS[_.random(COLORS.length - 1)];
  let num = _.random(10000);
  
  container.append(Mustache.render(template, { color, num }));
}

$(() => {
  const tmpl = $('#item_template').html()
  const container = $('#app');
  
  for(let i=0; i<5; i++) { addItem(container, tmpl); }
  
  $('#add_el').click(() => {
    addItem(container, tmpl);
  })
  
  container.on('click', '.del_el', (e) => {
    $(e.target).closest('.item').remove();
  });
});

.container {
  width: 100%;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  grid-template-rows: repeat(auto-fill, 120px);
  grid-row-gap: .5em;
  grid-column-gap: 1em;
}

.container .item {
}

Add element

P.S. Or you can use grid-auto-rows in my particular example.
