Flexbox Rows Align Left [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Targeting flex items on the last or specific row
(10 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am trying to create a grid using flexbox and I cannot get the last row of items to align left as I am using justify-content: space-between. I have added a JS Fiddle below:
https://jsfiddle.net/b5f4jmhu/
The boxes in the last row space between when there aren't 4 boxes to make up a full row. Any suggestions on how to get the last row to align to the left when there aren't enough boxes to fill the row?
.boxes {
max-width: 600px;
background: #ccc;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
flex-wrap: wrap;
padding: 20px 20px 0 20px;
margin: 60px auto 60px auto;
}
.box {
flex: 0 0 22%;
height: 100px;
background: #222;
margin: 0 0 20px 0;
}
<div class="boxes">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
Thanks,

With flex you cannot select the last row, but for a known amount of element on each rows, you can count them and reset the right margin on the last item if it needs to.
here it would position 2 and 3 from groups of 4.:last-chld:nth-child(xn) will help you select those two (possibilities).
example:
.boxes {
max-width: 600px;
background: #ccc;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
flex-wrap: wrap;
padding: 20px 20px 0 20px;
margin: 60px auto 60px auto;
}
.box {
flex: 0 0 22%;
height: 100px;
background: #222;
margin: 0 0 20px 0;
}
.box:last-of-type:nth-child(4n - 1) {
margin-right:calc(22% + 24px);/* size of one element + its margin */
}
.box:last-of-type:nth-child(4n - 2) {
margin-right:calc(44% + 48px);/* size of two elements + their margin */
}
<div class="boxes">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
<div class="boxes">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
<div class="boxes">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
if grid is a better way to handle this, there, is a solution while using flex.
It's better to use Grids for this purpose. Check please a demo on the Codepen.
.boxes {
max-width: 600px;
background: #ccc;
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
grid-gap: 20px;
padding: 20px;
margin: 60px auto 60px auto;
}
.box {
height: 100px;
background: #222;
}
And now it will be perfectly fine =)
I've modified your fiddle, take a look:
https://jsfiddle.net/z1kLs492/
.boxes {
max-width: 600px;
background: #ccc;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
flex-wrap: wrap;
padding: 20px;
margin: 60px auto 60px auto;
}
.box {
width: 23%;
height: 100px;
background: #222;
margin: 1%;
}
.boxes::after {
content: "";
flex: auto;
}

How can I make this responsive grid layout?

What I thought would be a simple layout turned out to be something I'm not able to accomplish yet.
I need the grid to be responsive and spread from one side to another (it has to be aligned with the text and box above).
I tried a few options, I commented them out for easier checking:
.big-container {
padding: 0 20%;
}
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background-color: blue;
}
.container {
border: 1px solid black;
/* display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
*/
/* display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-between;
*/
}
.box {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background-color: yellow;
/* float: left;
margin-left: 10px; */
}
<div class="big-container">
<div class="header"></div>
<p>Text</p>
<div class="container">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
</div>
I tried with flex but it doesn't sort nicely the last row, flex-wrap: wrap and float:left with some margin doesn't align correctly to the left.
If you use flexbox and set justify-content: space-between then last row will also have the same spacing instead of left align. Instead you can use grid-layout for this.
.big-container {
padding: 0 20%;
}
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background-color: blue;
}
.container {
border: 1px solid black;
display: grid;
justify-content: space-between;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(100px, 1fr));
grid-gap: 10px;
}
.box {
border: 1px solid black;
height: 30px;
background-color: yellow;
}
<div class="big-container">
<div class="header"></div>
<p>Text</p>
<div class="container">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>

Overflow auto not working with justify-content: flex-end

I'm trying to get an element to have items aligned to the right, and all overflowing elements to be hidden but accessed by scrollbar.
But it seems like the scrollbar disappears when specifying justify-content: flex-end. Why is that, and how do I fix it?
Here is demo: https://jsfiddle.net/efguz4mp/1/
.row {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
display: flex;
overflow: auto;
justify-content: flex-end;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
...and here is demo without justify-content: flex-end;: https://jsfiddle.net/efguz4mp
.row {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
display: flex;
overflow: auto;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
When an overflow occur to the left (or top), a scroll doesn't get rendered, and the reason is that a HTML document's normal flow is left-to-right (top-to-bottom).
Flexbox has a row-reverse direction, which will solve that, thought 2 things comes with that:
One need to reorder the items or use an inner wrapper
I.a. Firefox and Edge doesn't show the scroll (possible bug)
Stack snippet
.row {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row-reverse;
overflow: auto;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
/* no wrapper */
.row > .box:nth-child(1) { order: 6; }
.row > .box:nth-child(2) { order: 5; }
.row > .box:nth-child(3) { order: 4; }
.row > .box:nth-child(4) { order: 3; }
.row > .box:nth-child(5) { order: 2; }
.row > .box:nth-child(6) { order: 1; }
/* wrapper */
.inner {
display: flex;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box">4</div>
<div class="box">5</div>
<div class="box">6</div>
</div>
<div><br><br></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="inner">
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box">4</div>
<div class="box">5</div>
<div class="box">6</div>
</div>
</div>
Possible workarounds are:
Use direction: rtl to change the flow direction
.row {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
display: flex;
overflow: auto;
direction: rtl;
}
.inner {
display: flex;
direction: ltr;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="inner">
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box">4</div>
<div class="box">5</div>
<div class="box">6</div>
</div>
</div>
Use transform to flip the row element
.row {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
display: flex;
overflow: auto;
transform: scale(-1,1); /* flip horizontally */
}
.inner {
display: flex;
transform: scale(-1,1); /* reset so items is not backwards */
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="inner">
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box">4</div>
<div class="box">5</div>
<div class="box">6</div>
</div>
</div>
Use a script on page load to scroll to the right
window.addEventListener("load", function(e) {
var el = document.querySelector(".row");
el.scrollLeft = el.scrollWidth;
});
.row {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
display: flex;
overflow: auto;
}
.box {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box">4</div>
<div class="box">5</div>
<div class="box">6</div>
</div>
The main problem is that you're dealing with a contradiction:
The justify-content property is designed to distribute extra space in the container.
However, an overflow condition occurs when there is no space left in the container.
Basically, justify-content and overflow have no association. The former applies only inside the container. The latter applies only outside the container.
With justify-content: flex-end, the flex items must be packed at the end of the container (not the end of the flex-start overflow area).
If the end-aligned items are too big to fit in the container, they will overflow on the start side, which is what you're seeing in your layout. But because the overflow property only applies in the direction of the writing mode (LTR, in this case), scrollbars are not rendered (more details).
So I would suggest forgetting about justify-content to make this layout work.
Instead, consider this: Use an invisible spacer item to push your content items to the right.
.row {
display: flex;
overflow: auto;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
}
.box {
flex: 0 0 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
}
.row::before {
content: "";
flex: 0 0 400px;
visibility: hidden;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
You'll notice that the last item margin collapses. That issue is explained here:
Last margin / padding collapsing in flexbox
Here's how I would recommend you do it
.row {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
background: #DADADA;
flex: 1;
display: flex;
overflow: auto;
}
.box {
display: flex;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
margin: 4px 10px;
background: red;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>

flexbox grid under centered flex item

I would like an intro section on the left side of a .container and a side bar on the right.
On the left side underneath the .intro section I want there to be four divs equally spaced like a grid.
I'm having problems with getting the "grid set up". I think part of the problem is that the parent has some flexbox attribute effecting the children.
Requirement : The intro section should be centered in the .left-side and the "grid" should not be centered the boxes should take up as much space as necessary to fit 2 on a row with margins in between. The .intro should be 80 percent of the width of the leftside.
I don't want to do any major changes to the structure this is just a small sample of how my project is set up.
.container{
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
display: flex;
}
.left-side{
flex:8;
display: flex;
justify-content:center;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.side-bar{
flex: 2;
height: 100vh;
background: powderblue;
}
.intro{
flex:3;
width:80%;
height: 300px;
background: skyblue;
}
.box{
background: red;
width: 45%;
height: 100px;
flex:4;
border:1px solid orange;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="left-side">
<div class="intro">
intro
</div>
<div class="recent">
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box">4</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="side-bar">
sidebar
</div>
Flex items can also be flex containers. This enables you to nest multiple containers, with flex-direction: row or column, in a larger container.
For your layout, you can build a column consisting of two flex items. The first item (.intro) has 80% width and can be centered horizontally. The second item (.recent) can be a flex container with four items arranged in a 2x2 grid.
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
height: 100vh;
}
.left-side {
flex: 4;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.side-bar {
flex: 1;
background: powderblue;
}
.intro {
flex: 3;
height: 300px;
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
background: skyblue;
}
.recent {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/60PVLis.png");
background-size: contain;
}
.box {
margin: 5px;
flex-basis: calc(50% - 10px);
height: 100px;
box-sizing: border-box;
background: red;
}
body { margin: 0; }
<div class="container">
<div class="left-side">
<div class="intro">intro</div>
<div class="recent">
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box">4</div>
</div>
</div>

Set flex item height to size of content

I have three divs in a column. Each div has content that should scroll if it overflows. I would like each div to have the same height, with the max height of each div to be the height of its content. Is this possible to implement using flexbox?
Jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/x6puccbh/2/
As you can see in the fiddle, all three sections are the same height, but I would like the middle section to be only as tall as its content.
<div class="container">
<div class="panel">
<div class="section">
<div class="header">HEADER</div>
<div class="content">content<br>content<br>content<br>content
<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content
<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content</div>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="header">HEADER</div>
<div class="content">content</div>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="header">HEADER</div>
<div class="content">content<br>content<br>content<br>content
<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content
<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content
</div>
</div>
</div>
.container {
height: 300px;
}
.panel {
display:flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100%;
}
.header {
height: 15px;
text-align: center;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
.section {
flex-grow: 1;
flex-shrink: 1;
flex-basis: auto;
height: 100%;
border: 1px solid red;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.content {
overflow-y: auto;
height: 100%;
}
does this work for you?
<div class="section">
<div class="header">HEADER</div>
<p>content sjkdkjasdn asjn dvas jkdb ajd avsd</p>
</div>
css
.section:nth-child(2) {
height:unset;
}
p {
padding-bottom: 5em;
}
here's a fork of the fiddle
Use this:
height: fit-content;
