Enable Flex behaviors
To make the flexbox enable apply u-flex
class to create a flexbox container and transform direct child elements into flex items.
Note that the modifier that applied to Flex parent there will be 2x dashed --
.
Note that the modifier that applied to Flex child there will be 2x underscore __
.
<div class="u-flex">I am a flexbox container</div>
<div class="u-inline-flex">I am an inline flexbox container</div>

Direction
Use .u-flex--row
or u-direction-row
to set a horizontal direction (the browser default), or .u-flex--row-reverse
or u-direction-row-reverse
to start the horizontal direction from the opposite side.
<div class="u-flex u-flex--row">
<div>Flex item 1</div>
<div>Flex item 2</div>

or .u-direction-column
to set a vertical direction, or .u-flex--column-reverse
or u-direction-column-reverse
to start the vertical direction from the opposite side.
<div class="u-flex u-flex--column">

or u-align-content-*
utilities on flexbox containers to align flex items together on the cross axis. Choose * from start
(browser default), end
, center
, between
, around
, or stretch
. In order to see it, require flex-wrap: wrap;
and increase the number of flex items.
Heads up! This property has no effect on single rows of flex items.

Flex Child items utilities
Align self
Use u-flex__self
utilities on flexbox items to individually change their alignment on the cross axis (the y-axis to start, x-axis if flex-direction: column
). Choose from the same options as align-items: auto
, start
, end
, center
, baseline
, or stretch
(browser default). Align self is a utilities class that apply to the Flex children thus the class modifier will be using __

Fill
Use the .u-flex__fill
or u-fill
class on a series of sibling elements to force them into widths equal to their content (or equal widths if their content does not surpass their border-boxes) while taking up all available horizontal space.
<div class="u-flex bd-highlight">
<div class="u-flex__fill">Flex item with a lot of content</div>
<div class="u-flex__fill">Flex item</div>
<div class="u-flex__fill">Flex item</div>
</div>
Responsive variations also exist for u-flex__fill
.

.u-flex__fill@desktop / .u-fill@desktop
.u-flex__fill@portable / .u-fill@portable
.u-flex__fill@tablet / .u-fill@tablet
.u-flex__fill@mobile / .u-fill@mobile
Grow and shrink
Use .u-flex__grow-*
or u-grow-*
utilities to toggle a flex item’s ability to grow to fill available space. In the example of 3 flex items, using .u-flex__grow-1
elements for one item will take all available space it can while allowing the remaining two flex items their necessary space. Using u-flex__grow-1
to all child elements will grow the width evenly. Available option is 1
and 0
.
<div class="u-flex">
<div class="u-flex__grow-1">Flex item</div>
<div>Flex item</div>
<div>Third flex item</div>
</div>
or
<div class="u-flex">
<div class="u-grow-1">Flex item</div>
<div>Flex item</div>
<div>Third flex item</div>
</div>
Use .u-flex__shrink-*
or u-shrink-*
utilities to toggle a flex item’s ability to shrink if necessary.
<div class="u-flex">
<div class="u-width-1">Flex item</div>
<div class="u-flex__shrink-1">Flex item</div>
</div>
or
<div class="u-flex">
<div class="u-width-1">Flex item</div>
<div class="u-shrink-1">Flex item</div>
</div>
Responsive variations also exist for u-flex__grow
and u-flex__shrink
.

.u-flex__{grow|shrink}-1@desktop / .u-{grow|shrink}-1@desktop

Auto Margins
Flexbox can do some pretty awesome things when you mix flex alignments with auto margins
. For more available properties for Nitro auto margins can check out auto margins and it supports responsive too.
Unfortunately, IE10 and IE11 do not properly support auto margins on flex items whose parent has a non-default justify-content value. See this StackOverflow answer for more details.
<div class="u-flex">
<div class="u-margin-right-auto">Flex item</div>
<div>Flex item</div>
<div>Flex item</div>
</div>
Order
Change the visual order of specific flex items with a handful of order
utilities. We only provide options for making an item first or last, as well as a reset to use the DOM order. As order takes any integer value (e.g., 5), add custom CSS for any additional values needed. Choose from 0
to 12
or first
and last
.
<div class="u-flex u-flex--nowrap">
<div class="u-order-3">First flex item</div>
<div class="u-order-2">Second flex item</div>
<div class="u-order-1">Third flex item</div>
