Inline-block parent of flex elements in CSS

Instead of the flex value for the display property, you can set the value of inline-flex to the parent. In this case, this parent will behave like an inline-block element.

For example, if you don't specify the width of the parent, its width will be formed by the width of its descendants:

html<div class="parent">
  <div class="child">1</div>
  <div class="child">2</div>
  <div class="child">3</div>
</div>

css.parent {
  display: inline-flex;
  border: 1px solid red;
}
.child {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid green;
}
