Flexbox For Dummies: Everything You Need To Master Any CSS Layout

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 and 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
