Flexboxominaisuuksilla refers to the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) properties used to create flexible and responsive layouts in web design. These properties are part of the CSS Flexible Box Layout Module, commonly known as Flexbox. Flexbox is designed to provide an efficient way to lay out, align, and distribute space among items in a container, even when their size is unknown or dynamic.

The core concepts of Flexbox include the flex container and flex items. A flex container is an element with a display property set to flex or inline-flex, which establishes a flex formatting context for its direct children, known as flex items. The flex container can be styled using various properties such as flex-direction, justify-content, and align-items to control the layout and alignment of its flex items.

The flex-direction property defines the main axis along which the flex items are laid out. It can take values such as row, row-reverse, column, or column-reverse. The justify-content property is used to align flex items along the main axis, while the align-items property aligns them along the cross axis. Additionally, the align-content property is used to align multiple lines of flex items along the cross axis.

Flexbox also provides properties for individual flex items, such as flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis, which control the growth, shrinking, and initial size of flex items, respectively. The order property allows for reordering flex items without changing the source code order.

Flexbox is particularly useful for creating complex layouts with minimal code and is widely supported across modern web browsers. It simplifies the process of creating responsive designs and is often used in conjunction with other CSS layout techniques, such as Grid, to achieve desired layouts.
