Prevent content from expanding grid items
(3 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
When using a CSS Grid, I can't seem to manage to make the text-overflow:ellipsis work, even though I am applying it to the dom object containing the text that I want to shorten.
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
gap: 10px;
.grid-item { border: 1px solid red;}
.grid-item .content{
background-color: lightgray;
}
&.with-ellipsis {
.title {
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}
}
}
This is the pen where my code is: https://codepen.io/dbugger/pen/qBBKLgX?editors=1100

Set min-width: 0; on the .grid-item. It's an old solution for ellipsis on children of flexbox items (and grid), and you can read more about it here.
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
grid-gap: 10px;
}
.grid .grid-item {
min-width: 0;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.grid .grid-item .content {
background-color: lightgray;
}
.grid.with-ellipsis .title {
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}
.demo {
display: inline-block;
width: 33%;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.demo .content {
background-color: lightgray;
}
.demo .title {
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
}
