flexend

Flexend is a term used informally to describe the alignment of flex items toward the end edge of a flex container in CSS Flexbox. The official keyword in the CSS specification is flex-end, written with a hyphen. The non-hyphen form, flexend, does not appear in the standard and may occur as a variable name, a misspelling, or shorthand in some codebases or documentation.

In practice, flex-end is used with properties such as justify-content and align-items to position items toward the end along a given axis. For example, setting justify-content: flex-end on a container with display: flex moves all items to the end of the main axis. If the flex-direction is column, flex-end will align items toward the bottom of the container. The exact end position depends on the chosen axis (main axis for justify-content, cross axis for align-items) and on the container’s writing mode and direction (for row vs. column layouts and any reverse variations).

Flex-end interacts with other flexbox properties, including flex-direction, wrap, and align-content, to determine how items are distributed and aligned within the container. Browser support for the hyphenated value flex-end is extensive in modern browsers and does not require vendor prefixes in current environments.

For developers, the key distinction is that flex-end is a formal keyword in CSS Flexbox, while flexend may appear in informal references. When writing CSS, it is best to use flex-end to ensure compatibility and clarity. See also CSS Flexbox, flex-start, justify-content, and align-items.
