Examples


Spanning rows

Use row-span-<number> utilities like row-span-2 and row-span-4 to make an element span n rows:

01

02

03

<div class="grid grid-flow-col grid-rows-3 gap-4">  <div class="row-span-3 ...">01</div>  <div class="col-span-2 ...">02</div>  <div class="col-span-2 row-span-2 ...">03</div></div>

Starting and ending lines

Use row-start-<number> or row-end-<number> utilities like row-start-2 and row-end-3 to make an element start or end at the nth grid line:

01

02

03

<div class="grid grid-flow-col grid-rows-3 gap-4">  <div class="row-span-2 row-start-2 ...">01</div>  <div class="row-span-2 row-end-3 ...">02</div>  <div class="row-start-1 row-end-4 ...">03</div></div>

These can also be combined with the row-span-<number> utilities to span a specific number of rows.

Using a custom value

Use utilities like row-[<value>],row-span-[<value>],row-start-[<value>], and row-end-[<value>] to set the grid row size and location based on a completely custom value:

<div class="row-[span_16_/_span_16] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the row-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="row-(--my-rows) ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

This is just a shorthand for row-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix grid-row,grid-row-start, and grid-row-end utilities with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="row-span-3 md:row-span-4 ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation .
