Flexbox is a CSS layout method that allows you to arrange elements in a flexible way. One of the things that you can do with flexbox is to make an element take up the remaining available space in a flex container.
There are two properties that you can use to make an element take up the remaining available space in a flex container:
flex-grow: This property specifies how much of the remaining space an element should take up. The default value for flex-grow is 0, which means that the element will not take up any of the remaining space. A value of 1 means that the element will take up all of the remaining space.
flex-basis: This property specifies the initial size of an element. If the element's flex-grow property is set to 1, then the element will take up the remaining space after its flex-basis has been accounted for.
For example, the following code will make the element with the id of my-element take up the remaining available space in the flex container:
CSS
.my-container {
display: flex;
}
#my-element {
flex-grow: 1;
}
Here is an example of how this code would work:
HTML
<div class="my-container">
<div id="my-element">This is my element</div>
</div>
If you were to resize the browser window, the my-element element would grow to fill the remaining space in the flex container.
You can also use the flex-grow and flex-basis properties together to control how an element sizes itself.
For example, the following code will make the element with the id of my-element take up the remaining available space, but it will also set a minimum width of 100px:
CSS
.my-container {
display: flex;
}
#my-element {
flex-grow: 1;
flex-basis: 100px;
}
I hope this blog has helped you learn how to make an element take up the remaining available space in a flex container.
