# CSS Flexbox
2+
3+
## Introduction
4+
Flexbox, or the Flexible Box Layout, is a CSS layout module designed to make it easier to design flexible and responsive layout structures without using floats or positioning.
5+
6+
## Basic Concepts
7+
8+
### Flex Container
9+
A flex container is an element with `display: flex`. The children of this container become flex items.
10+
11+
```css
12+
.container {
13+
display: flex;
14+
}
15+
```
16+
17+
-Flex Items:
18+
The direct children of a flex container automatically become flex items.
19+
20+
```html
21+
<div class="container">
22+
<div class="item">Item 1</div>
23+
<div class="item">Item 2</div>
24+
<div class="item">Item 3</div>
25+
</div>
26+
```
27+
28+
# Flexbox Properties:
29+
## Container Properties:
30+
### flex-direction:
31+
32+
-Defines the direction of the flex items.
33+
-Possible values: row, row-reverse, column, column-reverse.
34+
35+
```css
36+
.container {
37+
flex-direction: row; /* default */
38+
}
39+
```
40+
41+
### flex-wrap:
42+
43+
-Specifies whether flex items should wrap or not.
44+
-Possible values: nowrap, wrap, wrap-reverse.
45+
46+
```css
47+
.container {
48+
flex-wrap: wrap;
49+
}
50+
```
51+
52+
### justify-content:
53+
-Defines the alignment along the main axis.
54+
-Possible values: flex-start, flex-end, center, space-between, space-around, space-evenly.
55+
56+
```css
57+
.container {
58+
justify-content: center;
59+
}
60+
```
61+
### align-items:
62+
-Defines the default behavior for how flex items are laid out along the cross axis.
63+
-Possible values: flex-start, flex-end, center, baseline, stretch
64+
65+
```css
66+
.container {
67+
align-items: stretch; /* default */
68+
}
69+
```
70+
71+
### align-content:
72+
73+
-Aligns a flex container’s lines within the flex container when there is extra space in the cross-axis.
74+
-Possible values: flex-start, flex-end, center, space-between, space-around, stretch.
75+
76+
```css
77+
.container {
78+
align-content: stretch; /* default */
79+
}
80+
```
81+
82+
# Item Properties
83+
### order
84+
85+
-Controls the order in which flex items appear in the flex container.
86+
```css
87+
.item {
88+
order: 1; /* default is 0 */
89+
}
90+
```
91+
92+
### flex-grow
93+
94+
-Defines the ability for a flex item to grow if necessary.
95+
96+
```css
97+
.item {
98+
flex-grow: 1; /* default is 0 */
99+
}
100+
```
101+
102+
### lex-shrink
103+
104+
-Defines the ability for a flex item to shrink if necessary.
105+
```css
106+
.item {
107+
flex-shrink: 1; /* default is 1 */
108+
}
109+
```
