Adjust flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and gap to generate Flexbox CSS.
Category: Dev Tools
When to use?
Use it to build a Flexbox layout, checking each property's effect with a preview and generating CSS. Great for visualizing confusing flex properties.
How to use
- Choose flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and gap.
- Check the item layout live in the preview.
- Copy the generated Flexbox CSS.
Input Explanation
Choose the flex container's flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and gap with radio buttons.
Calculation Basis
It builds a .container { display: flex; flex-direction: ... } CSS string from the selected options and applies it to the preview DOM element to render the layout.
Usage Examples
- Experiment with layouts - Change Flexbox options to see the layout and CSS.
- Quick pre-deploy check - Check inputs and output to reduce errors before dev/ops work.
- Aid docs/reviews - Copy the result into dev docs, issues, or review comments.
Examples
- justify-content: center, align-items: center → code that centers children vertically and horizontally
- justify-content·align-items center → children centered
Cautions
- Generated output is for reference; test carefully before production use.
- Specific specs or framework-only syntax may cause compatibility issues.
Guides
