What is CSS Flexbox?
 
 
CSS Flexbox is a layout model that allows items in a container to be dynamically arranged and aligned. It makes it easy to create complex, responsive layouts with less code. Unlike older models like floats, Flexbox provides more control over the alignment, direction, order, and size of items.
 
 
 
 
How to Use the Flexbox Generator
 
 
     
  1. Container Properties: Use the controls to adjust the parent container's properties, such as direction, wrap, and alignment.
    2.  
  2. Child Properties: Click on an item in the preview to select it, then adjust its individual properties like `flex-grow`, `flex-shrink`, and `flex-basis`.
    3.  
  3. Add/Remove Items: Use the buttons to add or remove items from the container to see how the layout adapts.
    4.  
  4. Copy CSS: Once you are happy with your layout, copy the generated CSS and use it in your project.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
 
 
 
What is the difference between `justify-content` and `align-items`?
 
`justify-content` aligns items along the main axis (horizontally by default), while `align-items` aligns them along the cross axis (vertically by default).
 
Can I use this for responsive design?
 
Absolutely. Flexbox is a cornerstone of modern responsive design. You can use this generator to experiment with different layouts and then apply them to your media queries.
