Hi, Flex Box is one of the ways to create beautiful layouts for a web page/ web app.
You can convert an element into flex-box container by setting display property to flex.
Once an element is defined as flex-box, the items inside the flex-box container becomes flex-items.
By default these items are arranged horizontally.
The direction of arrangement can be changed to vertical by setting flex-direction property to column.
Once the flex-direction property is set, the axis along which the flex-direction is set is called ππππ π΄π₯ππ and the one perpendicular to it is called πΆπππ π π΄π₯ππ .
Justify-content property of flex-box container is used to adjust the positioning of flex-items along the ππππ π΄π₯ππ .
The values for justify-content property include
- flex-start (default)
- center
