Question 1

What is CSS Flexbox?

Accepted Answer

Flexbox (Flexible Box Layout) is a CSS layout model that allows you to design flexible and responsive layouts. It makes it easy to align and distribute space among items in a container, even when their sizes are unknown.

Question 2

What's the difference between justify-content and align-items?

Accepted Answer

justify-content aligns items along the main axis (horizontal by default), while align-items aligns items along the cross axis (vertical by default). In Tailwind, use justify-* and items-* classes.

Question 3

How do I center elements with Flexbox in Tailwind?

Accepted Answer

Use 'flex items-center justify-center' to center elements both horizontally and vertically. This is the most common flexbox centering pattern in Tailwind CSS.

Question 4

When should I use Flexbox vs Grid?

Accepted Answer

Use Flexbox for one-dimensional layouts (row OR column) and when content size should determine layout. Use Grid for two-dimensional layouts (rows AND columns) and when you need precise control over both dimensions.
