What is Flexbox and how do I use it?

Flexbox, or the Flexible Box Layout, is a CSS layout model that allows you to design a complex layout structure in a more efficient way. It provides an easier way to align and distribute space among items in a container.

Can you give me an example of how to create a simple Flexbox layout?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}
.item {
  flex: 1;
  margin: 10px;
}

This will create a container with items spaced evenly.

What are some common properties used in Flexbox?

Some common Flexbox properties include:

• display: flex;
• flex-direction
• justify-content
• align-items
• flex-wrap These help control the layout and alignment of flex items.

How does Flexbox differ from CSS Grid?

Flexbox is one-dimensional, meaning it deals with either rows or columns, while CSS Grid is two-dimensional, allowing for both rows and columns simultaneously. Use Flexbox for simpler layouts and Grid for more complex designs.
