#FlexItem

#Description

Layout.FlexItem is a building block for CSS flexbox based layout of contents and components. Should be used in combination with FlexContainer.

#Size adjustment

You can provide a size prop with a number from 1 to 12 (can be changed in FlexContainer with the columns property).

The number will used to calculate a percentage unit and applied to the item via CSS.

The number 6 results in 50%, while 12 results in 100%.

<Layout.FlexContainer direction="horizontal">
  <Layout.FlexItem size={6}>uses 50% in width</Layout.FlexItem>
  <Layout.FlexItem size={6}>uses 50% in width</Layout.FlexItem>
</Layout.FlexContainer>

#Responsive size

You can also make sizes respond to media queries.

You can provide a size prop with an object containing Media Query types. Each size can contain a column number.

<Layout.FlexContainer direction="horizontal">
  <Layout.FlexItem
    size={{
      small: 12,
      large: 6,
    }}
  >
    uses 50% or 100% based on the screen size
  </Layout.FlexItem>
  <Layout.FlexItem
    size={{
      small: 12,
      large: 6,
    }}
  >
    uses 50% or 100% based on the screen size
  </Layout.FlexItem>
</Layout.FlexContainer>

You need to ensure that flex-wrap: wrap is set, so the items wrap to a new line when needed. This is enabled by default in the FlexContainer.
