Learn FlexBox in CSS

Tram Ho

Preamble

Previously, when we wanted to layout in css, we used to use the float attribute, but the float had a limitation that was the height collapse, and we needed one more step to solve this problem by using the clear: both property. defined in class .clearfix. To improve the above disadvantages, Css3 has more Flexbox properties to help link page layout more active. In this article I will go into the properties of Flexbox so that you can catch it so let’s get started ?

Prepare

To use the flex box property you must first have an outer div tag. Here I have a div with class container container and sub div tags inside it as follows

and a little initial css to determine their size, color

So I’m ready, I open up my browser to see how the elements are displaying, and here’s the result:

Next I will introduce the properties of Flexbox

Properties

First we will add the display: flex; In the container class as you can see the items have been arranged in the same row horizontally

1 flex-direction:

The flex-direction attribute specifies the flex-direction the arrangement of the item in the container

  • row: items are arranged horizontally from left to right, and it is the default value of flex-direction

  • row-reverse: same as row but the order of items is reversed from right to left

  • column: items are arranged vertically in order from top to bottom

  • column-reverse: same as column but the order of items is reversed from bottom to top

2 flex-wrap:

The flex-wrap attribute determines whether items are pressed into a single line or can be dropped into multiple lines when the width of the items is greater than the width of the container.

  • nowrap: specifies that the items must be on the same line, this can cause the items to overflow from the container, the default value of flex-wrap is nowrap Here I will add some items to give the total width of the items greater than container width

  • wrap: Items are separated into two lines if the total width of the items is greater than the width of the container

  • wrap-reverse: similar to wrap but it reverses the value of rows or columns according to the value of flex-direction . Here I am lm example with flex-direction value is row you can practice the same with column value

3 justify-content:

The justify-content attribute is used to determine how to arrange an item inside a container when the total width of the items is less than the width of the container.

  • flex-start: This value aligns the items to the top of the container, and it is the default value of justify-content

  • center: This value will center the items

  • flex-end: This value aligns the items towards the end of the container

  • space-around: This value will divide the distance between the items equally and double the distance of the item to the beginning and end of the container.

  • space-between: This value will divide the space evenly between items and there is no space between the item to the beginning and end of the container.

  • space-evenly: This value evenly divides the distance between items and the distance between the items to the beginning and end of the container

Note: in the examples above I am going to flex-direction: row; , and in the column , try it out ?

4 align-items:

This attribute is similar but justify-content but n will align items in tens perpendicular to the dozen of justufy-content . I will temporarily call it chục vuông góc , and the axis in flex-direction I will call it trục chính ?

  • stretch: If the item is not set to height, the item will be stretched by the length of the container, it is also the default value of align-items

  • center: align items to the center of the trục vuông góc

  • flex-start: align items to the beginning of trục vuông góc

  • flex-end: align items to the end of the trục vuông góc

Note : here, for example, in this align-items section, I am leaving the value of flex-direction = row so trục vuông góc will be the vertical axis, you also do the same with flex-direction = column to see the results. Please

5 align-content:

This property determines the position of the child items relative to its main axis in the container if and only if the container has the flex-wrap: wrap

  • stretch: when the items are not considered height and the parent container has the flex-wrap: wrap , the height of the items will be extended by the height of the container. And stretch is also the default value for align-content

  • center: the items will be centered in the parent container along the main axis

  • flex-start: items will be aligned to the top of the container along the spindle

  • flex-end: the items will be aligned to the bottom of the container along the main axis

  • space-around: This value will divide the distance between the rows containing the item and divide the distance between the top and bottom of the container twice.

  • space-between: This value will divide the distance between the rows containing the items and there is no space between the top and bottom to the beginning and end of the container.

  • space-evenly: This value will evenly divide the distance between the rows containing the items and the distance between the top and bottom to the beginning and end of the container.

note : here for this align-content , I am leaving the value of flex-direction = row and for flex-direction = column , please try it out. ?
