Introduction

The Flexible Box module, or just ‘flexbox’ for short, is a box model designed for user interfaces, and it allows users to align and distribute space among items in a container such that elements behave predictably when the page layout must accommodate different, unknown screen sizes. A flex container expands items to fill available space and shrinks them to prevent overflow.

Syntax

• display: flex;
• flex-direction: row | row-reverse | column | column-reverse;
• flex-wrap: nowrap | wrap | wrap-reverse;
• flex-flow: <‘flex-direction’> || <‘flex-wrap’>
• justify-content: flex-start | flex-end | center | space-between | space-around;
• align-items: flex-start | flex-end | center | baseline | stretch;
• align-content: flex-start | flex-end | center | space-between | space-around | stretch;
• order: <integer>;
• flex-grow: <number>; /* default 0 */
• flex-shrink: <number>; /* default 1 */
• flex-basis: <length> | auto; /* default auto */
• flex: none | [ <‘flex-grow’> <‘flex-shrink’>? || <‘flex-basis’> ]
• align-self: auto | flex-start | flex-end | center | baseline | stretch;
