CSS Flexbox

CSS Float and Clear CSS Flexbox Alignment

Flexbox is a modern layout model in CSS that allows flexible alignment of elements in a row or column. It makes alignment, sizing, and ordering easier to handle.

What is Flexbox?

Flexbox is activated with display: flex. Inside a flex container, elements are automatically arranged flexibly, with many settings available for alignment and distribution.

Property	Description
display: flex	Creates a flex container in which child elements are arranged flexibly.
justify-content	Horizontal alignment, such as left, right, center, or evenly distributed.
align-items	Vertical alignment inside the flex container.
flex-direction	Defines the direction: row or column.

Basic Flexbox example

In the following example, three elements are inside a flex container, displayed evenly distributed and centered.

With the combination of justify-content: space-around and align-items: center, the elements are evenly spaced and vertically centered.

Tips for using Flexbox

Flexbox makes layout handling easier, especially in dynamic or responsive design.

Use Flexbox if you need to quickly arrange rows or columns.
Flexbox is especially useful for responsive design, where elements must adapt to varying screen sizes.
You can combine Flexbox with media queries to achieve even more flexible layouts.
