Shrink a flexbox containing images inside a nested flexbox container - html

Question

I try to ajust some dynamic content so it fit onto label to be printed.
The label has a row (.symbolContainer) that can contain 0 or more images. The objective is to shrink that .symbolContainer and those images if the content of .text box need more spaces.
EDIT: The row of images should not wrap, but shrink from 75px to a minimum of 25px.
Seem to me that flexbox is the way to go, and it ended up with 3 levels of nested flexbox, but the images inside the .symbolContainer won't shrink.
Content of .text div can overflow the .body div, but I will adjust the font-size with javascript after.
It is possible to acheive this with flexbox or other tricks?
Here is what I have done so far. Comment in CSS is what I wanted to do.
.container {
width: 3.5in;
height: 5in;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 6px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.title {
font-weight: bolder;
font-size: 24px;
text-align: center;
}
.body {
background-color: #aad9fa;
flex: 1;
overflow: hidden;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.symbolContainer {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
background-color: #c1f1bf;
flex: 0 1 75px;
/* Height is 75px but shrink if need to */
/* No minimum height because can be empty */
}
.symbolContainer>img {
flex: 0 1 75px;
/* Size start at 75 px then shrink */
min-width: 25px;
/* but don't shrink pass 25px */
align-self: flex-start;
}
.text {
font-size: 22px;
flex: 1;
/* Take maximum possible space */
}
.footer {
text-align: center;
height: 30px;
background-color: green;
}
<div class='container'>
<div class='title'>
A title that can be multiline because of his variable length
</div>
<div class='body'>
<div class='symbolContainer'>

<div class="text">

You don't need those layers for the Flex Containers in order to do the images responsive.
Symbol Container should be:
.symbolContainer{
min-width: 0; /* resize as what you want */
margin: 5px; /* resize as what you want */
}
img {
width: 450px; /* resize as what you want */
max-width: 100%; /* resize as what you want */
max-height: 450px; /* resize as what you want */
}
.imgContainer{
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
Now the html should change to:
<div class='body'>
<div class='imgContainer'>
<div class='symbolContainer'>
<img src="https://simdut.claurendeau.qc.ca/public/img/vector/flamme.svg">
<img src="https://simdut.claurendeau.qc.ca/public/img/vector/nocif.svg">
</div>
</div>
...
That should do what you want. Be aware to resize to what you want.
Hope it helps!
