The flex-direction
CSS property is used in flexbox layouts to determine the direction in which flex items are laid out within a flex container. It defines whether the items are displayed in a row or a column, as well as the order in which they appear. The property accepts values like row
, row-reverse
, column
, and column-reverse
.
For example, flex-direction: row;
will display flex items horizontally in a row, while flex-direction: column;
will stack them vertically in a column. The flex-direction
property is essential for controlling the flow and arrangement of flex items within a flex container.
