Properties for the children

grid-column

The grid-column property is a shorthand for grid-column-start + grid-column-end. You can see how it's used in the grid-auto-columns example.

You can either set the start and end line:

<Box sx={{ gridColumn: '1 / 3' }}>

Or set the number of columns to span:

<Box sx={{ gridColumn: 'span 2' }}>

grid-row

The grid-row property is a shorthand for grid-row-start + grid-row-end. You can see how it's used in the grid-auto-rows example.

You can either set the start and end line:

<Box sx={{ gridRow: '1 / 3' }}>

Or set the number of rows to span:

<Box sx={{ gridRow: 'span 2' }}>

grid-area

The grid-area property allows you to give an item a name so that it can be referenced by a template created with the grid-template-areas property. You can see how it's used in the grid-template-area example.

<Box sx={{ gridArea: 'header' }}>
