Building a hexagonal grid using CSS grid

I’ve been chasing the idea of using (abusing?) CSS grid to build a interconnected hexagonal grid, where each hexagon fits together seamlessly. An example of this would be a lot of tabletop war games, some board games (Settlers of Catan, for instance), and some computer games (I used to play The Battle for Wesnoth, it uses a system like this).

Here’s the list of requirements I had going into this:

• Must interconnect. This means a certain amount of overlap of the individual items, because we’re fitting a hexagon into a square hole.
• Must respect grid-gap, or allow for gutters of some kind. Preferably grid-gap.
• Must be flexible. I need to be able to just throw a new item into it and have it just work.
• Must be responsive. A grid that starts out at 5 across on larger screens should go down to one or two across on smaller screens.

Building a Photo Gallery With CSS Grid and Tailwind CSS

Building a photo gallery has been a tough nut to crack for so many years. Throughout my career, I’ve used <table> layouts, <div>s with brittle margins and set widths, and tried my hand at flexbox. While all of these methods have worked, none of them felt like that silver bullet solution.

Then one day, the CSS gods bestowed upon us the magical power of CSS grids. Now, making a grid-based layout is an absolute delight. And, when we use grids with Tailwind CSS, we can create beautiful, functional UIs in a fraction of the time it used to take. So, let’s hop right in and see how we can use them to make a photo gallery.
