jQuery Masonry with JavaScript Generated HTML won't work

I'm using Masonry 4.2.2 from cdnjs (docs), and jQuery 3.5.0.

I have JavaScript that uses an array and loop to generate HTML grid-items for Masonry.

The items appear, but they will not align horizontal like they're supposed to, they will only stack vertical.

https://jsfiddle.net/r8u0n6jk/

HTML

<div id="gallery" data-masonry='{ "itemSelector": ".grid-item", "columnWidth": 150 }'>
  <!-- Generated HTML -->
</div>

CSS

.grid-item {
  height: 100px;
  margin-bottom: 1em;
  padding: 1em;
  background: blue;
  color: white;
}

JavaScript

// Gallery Item Array
var gallery = ['item 1', 'item 2', 'item 3'];


// Generate Gallery List HTML
$(document).ready(Generate);

function Generate() {
  var list = document.getElementById("gallery");
  var html = "";

  for (var i = 0; i < gallery.length; i++) {
    html += '<div class=\"grid-item\">' + gallery[i] + '</div>';
  }

  list.innerHTML = html;
}


// Masonry
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#gallery').masonry({
    itemSelector: '.grid-item',
    columnWidth: 150,
    isFitWidth: true,
  });
});

Result

Stacks vertical

Desired Effect

Should align horizontal and fluidly reposition on screen size change.

Add following statement in css:

.grid-item div {
   display: inline
 }

Also, increase the column width:

// Masonry
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#gallery').masonry({
    itemSelector: '.grid-item',
    columnWidth: 500,
    isFitWidth: true,
  });
});
