Grid property instead of grid-column & grid-row-CodePudding

According to MDN Web Docs, the grid CSS property is a shorthand property that sets all of the explicit and implicit grid properties in a single declaration. I wonder how we can use it instead of grid-column & grid-row in the following sample code so it can be further shortened:

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  gap: 10px;
  background-color: #2196F3;
  padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container div {
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
  text-align: center;
  padding: 20px 0;
  font-size: 30px;
}

.item3 {
  grid-column: 2;
  grid-row: 1 / 3;
}

<div >
  <div >1</div>
  <div >2</div>
  <div >3</div>
</div>

You are looking for grid-area. grid is for the container

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  gap: 10px;
  background-color: #2196F3;
  padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container div {
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
  text-align: center;
  padding: 20px 0;
  font-size: 30px;
}

.item3 {
  /*grid-column: 2;
  grid-row: 1 / 3;*/
  grid-area: 1 / 2 / 3 /auto; 
  /* row-start / column-start / row-end / column-end */
}

<div >
  <div >1</div>
  <div >2</div>
  <div >3</div>
</div>

No, that is not the purpose of it. The shorthand replaces grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows on the grid container.
