Introduction

Welcome to "CSS Flexbox Layout". In this book I explain the flexbox layout model. I explain the properties of containers and elements and show you how to use Flexbox to create modern and responsive web designs.

By the end of this book, you will know everything about Flexbox, use it to create responsive designs and handle all kinds of scenarios.

Let’s get started.

Key concepts

CSS3 Flexbox, also known as Flexible Box Layout, is a powerful layout model that allows you to create flexible and responsive layouts for web pages. It provides a straightforward way to arrange and distribute elements within a container, even when the container's size or the elements' dimensions vary.

To use Flexbox, you need to set the parent element (the flex container) to display: flex or display: inline-flex. This enables the Flexbox behavior for the container and establishes a flex formatting context. Here are some key concepts and properties used in Flexbox:

Flex Container Properties

● display: flex or display: inline-flex: Specifies that the container is a flex container and its children are flex items.

● flex-direction: Defines the direction of the main axis, which determines how flex items are positioned. Values can be row, row-reverse, column, or column-reverse.

● justify-content: Aligns flex items along the main axis. It controls the spacing between and around the flex items. Values include flex-start, flex-end, center, space-between, space-around, and space-evenly.

● align-items: Aligns flex items along the cross axis (perpendicular to the main axis). It controls how flex items are distributed vertically. Values can be flex-start, flex-end, center, baseline, or stretch.

● flex-wrap: Specifies whether flex items should wrap to multiple lines when they exceed the width of the flex container. Values include nowrap, wrap, and wrap-reverse.

● align-content: Defines the alignment of flex lines when there is extra space on the cross axis. It applies to multi-line flex containers. Values can be flex-start, flex-end, center, space-between, space-around, or stretch.
