Welcome, fellow developers! Today, let's embark on a journey to create a fantastic and responsive card stack using the enchanting powers of CSS Grid. By the end of this magical ride, you'll have a beautiful layout that gracefully adapts to different screen sizes.
Step 1: The Grid Container Dance #
Let's kick off our adventure by setting up the container that will hold our card stack. We'll be using the mystical .grid-container class, sprinkled with the following spells:
display: grid: Unleashes the power of the grid layout for our container.flex: none: Ensures our container doesn't accidentally slip into flexbox behavior.grid-template-columns: repeat(1, minmax(200px, 1fr)): Crafts a single column with a minimum size of 200px and a maximum flexible size.
Step 2: Enchanting the Cards #
Now, let's turn our attention to the individual cards. Behold the mighty .card class with its charming styles:
flex: none: Shields our card from flexbox confusion.height: auto: Lets our card adjust its height gracefully based on its magical contents.position: sticky: This property is the one that makes our grid cards stack on top of each other when page is scrolled.top: 48px: Decides the mystical distance from the top where our card becomes sticky. Removing this will make the magic disappear. I strongly recommend you to copy the code and play around it width: 100%: Grants our card the power to take up the full width of its container.z-index: 1: Elevates our card above the rest, ensuring it shines brightly.
Congratulations, fellow developer! You've just created a responsive and visually delightful card stack using the magic of CSS Grid. Feel free to experiment with different images and content to make it truly your own. You can further your challenge by adding some scroll triggered animations to the cards so you make scroll effect more elegant.
