## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
When you used <code>grid-template-columns</code> and <code>grid-template-rows</code> to define the structure of a grid, you entered a value for each row or column you created.
|
|
Lets say you want a grid with 100 rows of the same height. It isn't very practical to insert 100 values individually. Fortunately, there's a better way - by using the <code>repeat</code> function to specify the number of times you want your column or row to be repeated, followed by a comma and the value you want to repeat.
|
|
Here's an example that would create the 100 row grid, each row at 50px tall.
|
|
<blockquote>grid-template-rows: repeat(100, 50px);</blockquote>
|
|
You can also repeat multiple values with the repeat function and insert the function amongst other values when defining a grid structure. Here's what that looks like:
|
|
<blockquote>grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr 50px) 20px;</blockquote>
|
|
This translates to:
|
|
<blockquote>grid-template-columns: 1fr 50px 1fr 50px 20px;</blockquote>
|
|
<strong>Note</strong><br><code>1fr 50px</code> is repeated twice followed by 20px.

|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: <code>container</code> class should have a <code>grid-template-columns</code> property that is set to repeat 3 columns with the width of <code>1fr</code>.
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/.container\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-columns\s*?:\s*?repeat\s*?\(\s*?3\s*?,\s*?1fr\s*?\)\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi), '<code>container</code> class should have a <code>grid-template-columns</code> property that is set to repeat 3 columns with the width of <code>1fr</code>.');
