Responsive Flexbox
You learned from the CSS Media Queries chapter that you can use media queries to create different layouts for different screen sizes and devices.
Example
.flex-container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
} .flex-item {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 30px;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
/* Make a one column-layout instead of three-column layout */
@media
(max-width: 600px) { .flex-container {
flex-direction: column;
}
}Live preview
Another way is to change the percentage of the flex property of the flex items to create different layouts for different screen sizes. Note that we also have to include flex-wrap: wrap; on the flex container for this example to work:
Example
.flex-container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
} .flex-item {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 30px;
flex: 33.3%;
}
/* Make a one
column-layout instead of a three-column layout */
@media (max-width: 600px) { .flex-item {
flex: 100%;
}
