Flexbox

Flexbox (short for Flexible Box Layout) is a CSS layout module designed to provide an efficient and intuitive way to align, distribute, and order elements within a container—even when their sizes are dynamic or unknown. It's especially powerful for building responsive, one-dimensional layouts (either in a row or column).

With Flexbox, developers can create complex layouts with minimal code, without relying on float hacks or JavaScript-based positioning.


Key Features of Flexbox:

  • Main Axis & Cross Axis: Layout is controlled along the main axis (row or column) and the cross axis (perpendicular to the main).


Flex Container: Define a flex context using:

 cssCopyEditdisplay: flex;


Flexible Sizing: Automatically grow, shrink, or space items using flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis.

cssCopyEdit.item {
  flex: 1;
}

  • Alignment & Spacing:

    • justify-content: Aligns items along the main axis.

    • align-items: Aligns items on the cross axis.

    • gap: Adds space between items without margins.

  • Ordering: Easily rearrange visual order with the order property.


Example:

css
CopyEdit
.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
}


Why Flexbox Matters


Flexbox offers precision control, reduced CSS complexity, and better responsiveness compared to older layout methods. It's widely supported and perfect for layout patterns like navbars, cards, toolbars, and more.
