Flexbox For Dummies
Published Feb 22, 2025One thing I see a lot of beginners do, is gloss over fundamentals instead of digging deep on them.
Flexbox is not one of those fundamentals you want to skip if you value your time.
A quick run through just a couple examples and we can break down the most important flex properties with clear examples to help you level up your web development skills.
Here I'll cover the most important properties and their shorthands, and the most common layouts.
Learn these, and you'll be able to easily nest them together to build just about any layout you want.
I cover: the axis and how it works with direction, alignment, gap, order, wrapping, flex basis, grow, and shrink.
These properties are covered:
- display: flex
- flex
- flex-wrap
- gap
- flex-basis
- flex-grow
- flex-shrink
- order
- flex-direction
- flex-flow
- justify-content
- align-items
- align-content
