3. Implementing Flexbox

Flexbox is a powerful layout model in CSS that makes it easy to arrange elements in a flexible way. It helps in creating responsive and dynamic layouts, making it simpler to align, space, and distribute elements within a container.

Key Points:

1. Understanding Flexbox:

   • Flexbox is a layout model that allows items to be arranged easily within a container, either in a row or column, adjusting their size and position dynamically.

2. Creating a Flex Container:

   • To start using Flexbox, you'll need to define a flex container. This is done by applying display: flex; to the container element.

     .flex-container {
       display: flex;
     }
     

3. Flex Direction:

   • Flexbox allows setting the direction of items inside the container. It can be row, column, row-reverse, or column-reverse.

     .flex-container {
       display: flex;
       flex-direction: row; /* or column, row-reverse, column-reverse */
     }
     

4. Flex Items and Flexibility:

   • By default, flex items will try to fit in the container. You can control their size using properties like flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis.

     .flex-item {
       flex: 1; /* flex-grow: 1; flex-shrink: 1; flex-basis: 0%; */
     }
     

5. Alignment with Flexbox:

   • Flexbox offers properties like justify-content and align-items to align items along the main and cross axes.

     .flex-container {
       display: flex;
       justify-content: center; /* Align items along the main axis */
       align-items: center; /* Align items along the cross axis */
     }
     

6. Nested Flex Containers:

   • Flexbox can be nested, allowing more complex layouts with different sections having their flexible behavior.

Now it’s your turn to implement it into your design.
