grid-auto-rows

The grid-auto-rows CSS property specifies the size of an implicitly-created grid row track.

/* Keyword values */
grid-auto-rows: min-content;
grid-auto-rows: max-content;
grid-auto-rows: auto;

/* <length> values */
grid-auto-rows: 100px;
grid-auto-rows: 20cm;
grid-auto-rows: 50vmax;

/* <percentage> values */
grid-auto-rows: 10%;
grid-auto-rows: 33.3%;

/* <flex> values */
grid-auto-rows: 0.5fr;
grid-auto-rows: 3fr;

/* minmax() values */
grid-auto-rows: minmax(100px, auto);
grid-auto-rows: minmax(max-content, 2fr);
grid-auto-rows: minmax(20%, 80vmax);

/* multiple track-size values */
grid-auto-rows: min-content max-content auto;
grid-auto-rows: 100px 150px 390px;
grid-auto-rows: 10% 33.3%;

/* Global values */
grid-auto-rows: inherit;
grid-auto-rows: initial;
grid-auto-rows: unset;

If a grid item is positioned into a row that is not explicitly sized by grid-template-rows, implicit grid tracks are created to hold it. This can happen either by explicitly positioning into a row that is out of range, or by the auto-placement algorithm creating additional rows.

Initial value auto
Applies to grid containers
Inherited no
Percentages refer to corresponding dimension of the content area
Media visual
Computed value the percentage as specified or the absolute length
Animation type discrete
Canonical order the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar

Syntax

Values

<length>
Is a non-negative length.
<percentage>
Is a non-negative <percentage> value relative to the block size of the grid container. If the block size of the grid container is indefinite, the percentage value is treated like auto.
<flex>
Is a non-negative dimension with the unit fr specifying the track’s flex factor. Each <flex>-sized track takes a share of the remaining space in proportion to its flex factor.

When appearing outside a minmax() notation, it implies an automatic minimum (i.e. minmax(auto, <flex>)).

max-content
Is a keyword representing the largest maximal content contribution of the grid items occupying the grid track.
min-content
Is a keyword representing the largest minimal content contribution of the grid items occupying the grid track.
minmax(min, max)
Is a functional notation that defines a size range greater than or equal to min and less than or equal to max. If max is smaller than min, then max is ignored and the function is treated as min. As a maximum, a <flex> value sets the track’s flex factor. As a minimum, it is treated as zero (or minimal content, if the grid container is sized under a minimal content constraint).
auto
Is a keyword that is identical to maximal content if it's a maximum. As a minimum it represents the largest minimum size (as specified by min-width/min-height) of the grid items occupying the grid track.

Note: auto track sizes (and only auto track sizes) can be streched by the align-content and justify-content properties.

Formal syntax

<track-size>+

where
<track-size> = <track-breadth> | minmax( <inflexible-breadth> , <track-breadth> ) | fit-content( [ <length> | <percentage> ] )

where
<track-breadth> = <length-percentage> | <flex> | min-content | max-content | auto
<inflexible-breadth> = <length> | <percentage> | min-content | max-content | auto

where
<length-percentage> = <length> | <percentage>
