Flexbox is a CSS layout model designed for creating flexible and responsive web layouts. It arranges elements within a container, distributing space and aligning items efficiently, even when their size is unknown or dynamic.
Flexbox simplifies the process of designing responsive web pages, allowing for vertical and horizontal alignment, spacing, and order control. It eliminates the need for complex CSS hacks and provides a more straightforward approach to layout design.
Flexbox's key features include flexible sizing, alignment, and order of items within a container. It allows for easy alignment of items along both the main axis and the cross axis, making it ideal for creating adaptable layouts.
To use Flexbox, you define a flex container and set its display property to flex. Inside this container, flex items can be aligned and distributed using various flex properties, such as justify-content, align-items, and flex-direction.
Flexbox and CSS Grid are complementary layout tools. Flexbox excels at handling one-dimensional layouts, such as navigation bars and alignments within a container. In contrast, CSS Grid is better suited for two-dimensional layouts. Understanding when to use each can enhance your web design workflow.
