Flexbox vs Grid: Which One Should I Use?

Can you explain the differences between Flexbox and Grid?

Sure! Flexbox is designed for one-dimensional layouts, while Grid is for two-dimensional layouts. Flexbox aligns items in a row or column, whereas Grid allows for more complex arrangements.

Can you give me examples of when to use each?

Absolutely! Use Flexbox for simpler layouts like navigation bars or aligning items in a single row. Use Grid for more complex layouts like web pages with multiple sections.

What are some common pitfalls when using Flexbox or Grid?

Common pitfalls include not understanding the default alignment in Flexbox and overcomplicating layouts with Grid. It's important to know when to use each tool effectively.

Can you show me a code example for both?

Sure! For Flexbox, you might use display: flex; on a container. For Grid, you would use display: grid; and define rows and columns with grid-template-rows and grid-template-columns.
