Relative Grid Items with CSS Variables

Read Original

This technical article details a method for creating relative positioning between CSS Grid items using CSS Custom Properties (Variables). It solves the problem of offsetting grid items (e.g., 'start column 2 at the end of column 1 + n') by defining variables on the parent container and using calc() for dynamic calculations, improving code reusability for component variants.
