By default, a row of elements in a basic flex container are going to have
dynamic widths that accommodate their contents. This may not be desirable if
you're going for a uniform look. You could give all child elements a fixed
width (e.g. width: 100px
), but that loses out on the flexibility of a
flexbox layout.
You can instead give all child elements a uniform and flexible width using the
flex
property.
.flex-container {
display: flex;
}
.flex-child {
flex: 1;
}
This value is a relative ratio. If all children of the flex container have the
same flex
value (i.e. 1
), then they will all be equally sized and that size
will adjust as the width of the flex container changes.
