Adding Commas Between List Items Dynamically with CSS

How to Add Commas Between a List of Items Dynamically with CSS

Adding CSS to separate a list of items with commas is an easy way to make your data more readable and organized. This is especially useful if you have a long list of items that are difficult to read when the commas are missing. With just a few lines of code, you can set up your list so that it dynamically adds commas between the items, regardless of how many or how few there are.

Steps for Adding Commas Between a List of Items Dynamically with CSS

1. Create a wrapper element around the list of items. This should be a HTML element such as a <span>, <div>, or <ul>. The exact type of element doesn't matter as long as it can contain the list of items.
2. Give the wrapper element a class name (for example, "list-items").
3. Add the following code in your stylesheet:

     .list-items {
       display: inline;
     }
   
     .list-items li {
       display: inline-block;
       margin-right: 5px;
     }
   
     .list-items li:last-child {
       margin-right: 0;
     }
   
     .list-items li::after {
       content: ',';
     }
     

   This code sets up each item in the list to be displayed in an inline-block element, and adds a comma after each one.

That's all there is to it! Now your list of items will automatically have commas between them, no matter how many there are. This is a great way to keep your lists organized and easy to read.
