Extended Knowledge

Flexbox is a one-dimensional layout model introduced in CSS3, designed for distributing space and aligning items within a container. Tailwind CSS wraps Flexbox properties as utility classes — for example, flex-row maps to flex-direction:row and justify-center maps to justify-content:center. Understanding the main axis and cross axis concepts is key to mastering Flex layouts: the main axis is determined by flex-direction, and the cross axis is perpendicular to it. The gap property is a modern CSS addition that provides a cleaner alternative to traditional margin-based spacing.
