Flex
flex
is a value of the CSS display
property. Along with inline-flex
, it causes the element it applies to become a flex container, and the element's children to each become a flex item. The items then participate in flex layout, and all of the properties defined in the CSS flexible box layout module may be applied.
There is also a flex
property, which is a shorthand for the flexbox properties flex-grow
, flex-shrink
and flex-basis
. This property is only applicable to flex containers.
In addition <flex>
can refer to a flexible length in CSS Grid Layout.
