Why Aren't My Flex Items Wrapping to Multiple Rows?

Flex Items Not Wrapping: Resolving Alignment Issues

Problem:

Attempting to display multiple rows of square elements (3 per row) with equal height, but they all appear on the same line.

Initial Considerations:

The default setting for a flex container is flex-wrap: nowrap, which restricts flex items to a single line. To enable wrapping, this property must be set to wrap.

Solution:

1. Add flex-wrap: wrap to the parent container style:

   #list-wrapper {
     display: flex;
     flex-wrap: wrap;
     width: 100%;
   }

2. Ensure that the flex items' dimensions are defined (e.g., width and height) to allow the browser to calculate the appropriate layout:

   #list-wrapper div {
     width: 33.33%;
   }
   
   #list-wrapper div img {
     flex: 1;
   }

Additional Notes:

• Flex items are stacked row-wise by default, starting from the top-left corner. To alter this behavior, consider using flex-direction.
• The browser automatically calculates the size and alignment of flex items, based on the available space and the specified flex properties.
• For more advanced layouts, additional flex properties (e.g., justify-content, align-content) can be used to fine-tune the positioning of flex items within the container.
