Day 17 : CSS Flexbox (Deep Dive)

🎯 Day 17 — CSS Flexbox (Deep Dive)

Flexbox is ideal for one-dimensional layouts: nav bars, toolbars, card rows, vertical centering, and responsive alignment. This lesson covers container & item properties, axis concepts, common patterns, alignment tricks, responsive wrapping, and real-world recipes.

1 — Flex basics: main axis & cross axis

When display:flex is set on a container, the main axis defaults to the row (left→right) and the cross axis is vertical. Use flex-direction to change axis.

2 — Container properties

  • flex-direction: row | row-reverse | column | column-reverse
  • flex-wrap: nowrap | wrap | wrap-reverse
  • justify-content: align items along main axis (flex-start|center|space-between|space-around|space-evenly)
  • align-items: align along cross axis (stretch|flex-start|center|baseline|flex-end)
  • gap: spacing between flex items (modern replacement for margins)

3 — Item properties

  • order: reorders visually without changing HTML
  • flex-grow: how much an item grows relative to siblings
  • flex-shrink: how an item shrinks when container is too small
  • flex-basis: initial main size before growing/shrinking (can be auto or px/%)
  • Shorthand: flex: <grow> <shrink> <basis>

Common patterns (recipes)

Centered content (both axes)

.container { display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; height:200px; }

Responsive row that wraps into columns

.container { display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:12px; }
.item { flex: 1 1 220px; } /* grow, shrink, basis */

Nav with spaced items

nav { display:flex; justify-content:space-between; align-items:center; }

Interactive — Flexbox playground (edit & experiment)

Change flex-direction, justify-content, and align-items to observe layout behavior. This includes examples of grow/shrink and wrapping.


Real-world recipes & tips

  • Centering a loader: use a full-screen flex container with justify-content:center;align-items:center;.
  • Equal-height cards: set the card container to display:flex and let children stretch (align-items:stretch).
  • Spacing without margins: use gap — it avoids margin collapse and is simpler for grid/flex layouts.

Practice challenge

  1. Build a responsive card row where each card is min 220px and grows to fill remaining space.
  2. Create a header with a left-aligned logo, centered nav, and right-aligned action buttons using flex.
  3. Implement an adaptive 2→1 column layout: on small screens, stack items vertically (use flex-basis or media queries).
