Controlling Leftover Grid Items with Pseudo-selectors

Read Original

This technical article explores a CSS Grid technique for handling leftover grid items that don't fill an entire row, referred to as 'widows'. It compares Grid and flexbox approaches, demonstrating how to use :nth-child and :last-child pseudo-selectors to detect and style these items, such as making a single widow span the full row or centering two leftover items.
