CSS grid-area Property
The grid-area property is used to specify the size and the location of the grid item within the grid row. It is a shorthand property for the following properties:
grid-row-start, specifying the row on which the item should start.
grid-column-start, specifying the column on which the item should start.
grid-row-end, specifying the row on which the item should end.
grid-column-end, specifying the column on which the item should end.
The grid-area property also specifies a name to a grid item. Then, named grid items can be referenced to by the grid-template-areas property of the grid container.
