The flex-basis CSS property sets the initial main size of a flex item. It sets the size of the content box unless otherwise set with box-sizing .

How do I set my flex height?

I would use height: calc(100vh - 100px) on the flex container to make it take up all of the available space. Alternatively, you could limit the height of body to 100vh , make it display: flex; flex-direction: column and set flex-grow: 1 on . container so it will take up the available space.

How do you size things for Flex?

The main size of a flex item is the size it has in the main dimension. If you are working in a row — in English — then the main size is the width. In a column in English, the main size is the height. Items also have a minimum and maximum main size as defined by their min-width or min-height on the main dimension.

What does CSS Flex do?

A flex container expands items to fill available free space or shrinks them to prevent overflow. Most importantly, the flexbox layout is direction-agnostic as opposed to the regular layouts (block which is vertically-based and inline which is horizontally-based).

What is Flex basis 0%?

The flex-basis property is a sub-property of the Flexible Box Layout module. It specifies the initial size of the flex item, before any available space is distributed according to the flex factors. When omitted from the flex shorthand, its specified value is the length zero.

What is the difference between Flex basis and width?

By default, if you have a width set and did not declare a flex basis value, width will function normally on that element. There is no difference between how flex-basis: will function on your element and how width: will function on your element. Width will even obey flex-shrink when using Flexbox.

How do you control flex width?

Instead of flex-direction: column , you can try a wrapping flexbox using flex-wrap: wrap ; and you can set:

1. flex-basis: 50% for the half width divs.
2. flex-basis: 100% for the full width divs.

How do you reduce flex width?

We can tidy things up further because flex-shrink is included in the flex shorthand property. If we set the flex-shrink value to 0 and the flex-basis value to the default width we want the image to be, then we can get rid of the width property altogether.

Is there a space between Flex items?

flex-end : items are packed toward to end line. center : items are centered along the line. space-between : items are evenly distributed in the line; first item is on the start line, last item on the end line. space-around : items are evenly distributed in the line with equal space around them.
