Values

Value	Description	Play it
none	This is the default value of the property.	Play it »
auto	The size of the rows takes up the size of the container.	Play it »
max-content	The size of each rows depends on the largest item in the rows.
min-content	The size of each rows depends on the smallest item in the rows.
