      Flexbox layout

      CSS flexbox is a layout model in CSS that provides an efficient and flexible way to arrange and distribute space between items within a container. It arranges elements in a single dimension, either horizontally or vertically, within a container.
      Flexbox organizes elements within a container along a single dimension, which can be either horizontally or vertically aligned.
      This chapter will cover all the properties for managing the positioning, alignment, and gaps between elements along both the main and cross axes.
      The following diagram demonstrates the flexbox layout for reference:
      

      CSS Flexbox Layout

      Create flexbox layout by defining a parent container with the class flexbox-container.
      Let us see an example 
      <html>
      <head>
      <style>
         .flex-container {
            display: flex;
            background-color: green;
         }
         .flex-container>div {
            background-color: yellow;
            margin: 10px;
            padding: 15px;
         }
      </style>
      </head>
      <body>
         <div class="flex-container">
            <div>Flex item 1</div>
            <div>Flex item 2</div>
            <div>Flex item 3</div>
            <div>Flex item 4</div>
         </div>
      </body>
      </html>

      CSS Display - Flex

      Flexbox layout uses display: flex property for aligning and distributing elements within a layout container.
      Let us see an example 
      <html>
      <head>
      <style>
         .flex-container {
            display: flex;
            background-color: green;
         }
         .flex-container>div {
            background-color: yellow;
            margin: 10px;
            padding: 15px;
         }
      </style>
      </head>
      <body>
         <div class="flex-container">
            <div>Flex item 1</div>
            <div>Flex item 2</div>
            <div>Flex item 3</div>
         </div>
      </body>
      </html>

      CSS Display - Inline-flex

      Flexbox layout can also use display: inline-flex property to create an inline-level flex container, allowing elements to be aligned and distributed within it.
      Let us see an example 
      <html>
      <head>
      <style>
         .flex-container {
            display: inline-flex;
            background-color: green;
         }
         .flex-container>div {
            background-color: yellow;
            margin: 10px;
            padding: 15px;
         }
      </style>
      </head>
      <body>
         <div class="flex-container">
            <div>Flex item 1</div>
            <div>Flex item 2</div>
            <div>Flex item 3</div>
         </div>
      </body>
      </html>
