Flexbox is a powerful layout module in CSS that allows you to design flexible and responsive user interfaces with ease. 🚀

Key Concepts

  • display: flex
    Enables Flexbox layout on a container.

    flexbox_display

  • flex-direction
    Defines the direction of the flex items (row, column, row-reverse, column-reverse).

    flex_direction

  • justify-content
    Aligns items along the main axis (flex-start, center, space-between, space-around).

    justify_content

  • align-items
    Aligns items along the cross axis (stretch, flex-start, center, baseline).

    align_items

Use Cases

  • Navigation Bar

    navigation_layout
    Use `flex-direction: column` and `align-items: center` for centered vertical navigation.

  • Card Layout

    card_layout
    Create responsive card grids with `flex-wrap: wrap` and `justify-content: space-between`.

  • Responsive Design

    responsive_design
    Adjust layouts dynamically using `flex-basis` and `min-width` properties.

Best Practices

  • Avoid overusing flex-wrap to prevent unexpected spacing.
  • Use flex-shrink and flex-grow for proportional item sizing.
  • Test layouts across different screen sizes with @media queries.
