FLEXBOX

lay out content dynamically

WHAT IS FLEXBOX?

Flexbox is a layout model which aims to make it easier to lay out and align elements dynamically.

Main Idea: Containers have the ability to adjust their content dynamically.

Flexbox is direction-agnostic: can accommodate both horizontal and vertical layouts.
