Step 1: What is Flexbox?

Flexbox is a CSS layout model that makes it easy to align and distribute space among items in a container.

To enable Flexbox, set display: flex on a container. Its children become flex items.

.container {
  display: flex;
  /* Items now flow horizontally by default */
}

Key concepts:

  • Main axis — the primary direction items flow (default: horizontal)
  • Cross axis — perpendicular to the main axis
