The grid-auto-rows property in CSS is used to specify the size for the rows of implicitly generated grid containers.
Syntax:
grid-auto-rows: auto|max-content|min-content|length|
percentage|minmax(min, max)|initial|inherit;
Property Values:
- auto: This is the default value. The size is determined implicitly according to the size of the container.
- length: It is used to set the grid-auto-rows property to the given length. The length value can not be negative.
- percentage: It sets the grid-auto-rows property to the percentage value.
- max-content: Specifies the size depending on the largest item in the container.
- min-content: Specifies the size depending on the smallest item in the container.
- minmax(min, max): Specifies the size in the range of [min, max]. greater than or equal to min and less than or equal to max.
- initial: Initializes the value with its default value.
- inherit: Inherits the value from its parent element.
