Utilities > Flexbox

Direction

The following classes set display: flex and set the flex-direction based on the value in its name.

  • .flex-col (column)
  • .flex-row
  • .flex-col-reverse (column-reverse)
  • .flex-row-reverse

Grow and shrink

  • .flex-grow: sets flex-grow: 1. Allows elements to grow and take available space within a flexbox.
  • .flex-grow-0: sets flex-grow: 0. Disallows elements to grow and take available space within a flexbox.
  • .flex-shrink: sets flex-shrink: 1. Allows elements to shrink below its size when the flexbox shrinks.
  • .flex-shrink-0: sets flex-shrink: 0. Disallows elements to shrink below its size when the flexbox shrinks.

Wrap

  • .flex-wrap: sets flex-wrap: wrap. This allows items exceeding the flexbox to go to a new line.
  • .flex-nowrap sets flex-wrap: nowrap. Going to a new line is disallowed.

Justify/align/place

  • Justify content: defines how content aligns around the main axis. Used with .justify-<value>.
  • Align content: defines how multi-line content aligns around the main axis. Used with .content-<value>.
  • Align items: defines how content aligns around the cross axis. Used with .items-<value>.
  • Self align: overwrites the default align items value set on the parent on individual elements within the Flexbox. Used with .self-`.

All these classes follow the same pattern: .<type>-<value>. Note that not all values are available for all types.

  • .<type>-start (flex-start)
  • .<type>-end (flex-end)
  • .<type>-center
  • .<type>-stretch
  • .<type>-baseline
  • .<type>-between (space-between)
  • .<type>-around (space-around)
  • .<type>-evenly (space-evenly)
