Responsive design is essential for providing an optimal user experience across a wide range of devices. Flexbox is one of the most powerful CSS tools to help you build flexible, responsive layouts with ease.
Introduction to Flexbox
Flexbox (short for Flexible Box Layout) allows you to align and distribute space within a container even when the item sizes are unknown or dynamic. With Flexbox, web developers can create complex layouts without needing to use floats or positioning.
Flexbox Syntax & Key Properties
The main Flexbox properties include:
display: flex; – Sets the container to use Flexbox.
flex-direction – Controls the direction of flex items (row or column).
justify-content – Aligns items along the main axis.
align-items – Aligns items along the cross axis.
flex-wrap – Allows items to wrap onto new lines when necessary.
Building a Responsive Layout with Flexbox
Start by setting display: flex on the container, followed by defining flex-direction: row (horizontal layout). For mobile, you can use flex-direction: column to stack items vertically. Flexbox will automatically adjust the layout based on the container’s size, ensuring the design remains responsive.
