Flexbox Basics

Child elements and a parent container are the essential components of the Flexbox layout. Once you define its display property to flex or inline-flex, the parent container becomes a flex container. Its immediate offspring instantly become expendable. Both the main (by default horizontal) and cross (by default vertical) axes form the foundation of this paradigm.

Code Sample

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Flexbox Basics</title>
    <style>
        .flex-container {
            display: flex;
            background-color: DodgerBlue;
        }
        .flex-item {
            width: 100px;
            margin: 10px;
            text-align: center;
            line-height: 75px;
            font-size: 16px;
            background-color: Orange;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="flex-container">
        <div class="flex-item">1</div>
        <div class="flex-item">2</div>
        <div class="flex-item">3</div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Explanation of code

HTML structure

  • The Flexbox container is a <div> element with class flex-container.
  • Three child <div> elements with the class flex-item are contained inside this container. These are objects that are flexible.

CSS Styling

  • The Flexbox context is established when.flex-container is styled with display: flex;. As a result, every immediate child of a flex item (.flex-item div) is a flex item.
  • The container's backdrop color is set to DodgerBlue to make it visible.
  • Each.flex-item has a set width of 100px, a margin between items of 10px, and a height defined by the line-height of 75px, which also centers the text within each item vertically.
  • For readability and aesthetic appeal, the products' text is centered and have an orange backdrop.
