In this episode of Core CSS Mastery we take a look at CSS flexbox.
Key Concepts
Flex Container: Any element with its display property set to flex or inline-flex becomes a flex container. It holds the flex items inside it.
Flex Items: The child elements of a flex container are called flex items. They can be aligned, ordered, and sized within the flex container.
Main Axis and Cross Axis: Flexbox works along two axes: the main axis (horizontal by default) and the cross axis (vertical by default). You can control the layout of flex items along these axes.
Flex Direction: Determines the main axis direction. It can be set to row, row-reverse, column, or column-reverse, allowing flexibility in layout orientation.
Justify Content: Defines how flex items are distributed along the main axis within a flex container. Values include flex-start, flex-end, center, space-between, and space-around.
Align Items: Specifies how flex items are aligned along the cross axis within a flex container. Values include flex-start, flex-end, center, baseline, and stretch.
Flex: Determines how flex items grow or shrink to fill available space. It's shorthand for flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis.
