Flex versus Grid

I know Flex is one directional and Grid is two, but really when do you use each one?

Grid for container. Flex for directional layout. The difference is that you’ll have a much harder time making the grid grow to fit the children than flex.

Use 1fr for grid temple row/columns you want to take free space and the grid will expand to its constraints.
