04:33 - The spec
06:10 - How it works
- masonry-auto-flow: next;
- It first puts all the items that are explicitly placed onto the grid. Items that you have a set start/stop value for are first put down.
- Then it takes the next item that it to be placed and finds a spot for it. This is different because with CSS Grid you normally have to place the next item on the next row or column.
- grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows can now be marked as masonry and this specifies which axis will be masonry.
