The flex-flow property

The flex-flow property is a shorthand for flex-direction and flex-wrap. Default value: row nowrap. It applies to the parent element for flex blocks.

Syntax

cssselector {
  flex-flow: main_axe_direction multi-line;
}

The order doesn't matter.

Example

In this example, the blocks do not fit into their container and will be lined up in several lines:

html<div id="parent">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
  <div>7</div>
  <div>8</div>
  <div>9</div>
</div>

css#parent {
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: row wrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
  height: 200px;
  width: 330px;
  margin: auto;
}
#parent > div {
  width: 100px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
}

Example

Let's change a direction of the main axis (column instead of row):

html<div id="parent">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
  <div>7</div>
  <div>8</div>
  <div>9</div>
</div>

css#parent {
  flex-flow: column wrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
  display: flex;
  height: 200px;
  width: 330px;
  margin: auto;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
}
#parent > div {
  width: 100px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
}
