<div class="wrapper">

</div>

FC = flex-container. FI = flex-item.
I am able to place .b-fc
onto a new row when the space left for it to exist on the original row goes below 70px.
My task: I want b-fc
's FIs to stack vertically when no new row is created/they don't wrap. I want b-fc
's FIs to align horizontally when b-fc
wraps.
Current solution
Therefore, I'm figuring it'd be more powerful to be able to apply CSS when .b-fc
wraps. Is this possible?
Perhaps using CSS variables/SASS I could continually assess whether FC - .a-fc
<= than 70px. If true, apply stylings to .b-fc
.
Idea 2: media-queries
Another option is to test when row2 is made, use media queries to capture this and apply CSS to .b-fc
with media queries.
P.S. Similar question has been asked here before in 2015. Maybe new techniques have transpired since.
You can use flex-basis: 100% for item you want to wrap in new line.
The flex-wrap CSS property sets whether flex items are forced onto one line or can wrap onto multiple lines. If wrapping is allowed, it sets the direction that lines are stacked.
To have content break to next line with flex when content reaches edge with Flex React Native, we can set flexWrap to 'wrap' . to set flexDirection to 'row' to set the flexbox direction to horizontal. Then we set flexWrap to 'wrap' to make the child items wrap when it reaches the right edge of the screen.
You can use them together but not necessarily one the same element. For instance I can place a div in a CSS-Grid parent container (which has display:grid ) but the child div could have display:flex to lay out it's children.
For this particular case you can consider the use of max()
combined with flex-basis
. The trick is to either have 0px
(horizontal item) or a very big value (vertical items).
You will note that this is not a generic solution and the value is based on your html structure:
395px = 300px (width of a-fx) + 70px (flex-basis of b-fc) + 10px (border of wrapper) + 16px (default body margin) - 1px
.wrapper {
border: 5px solid pink;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: center;
}
.a-fc {
background-color: purple;
width: 300px;
}
.b-fc {
background-color: orange;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-basis: 70px;
flex-grow: 1;
}
.b-fc>* {
flex-grow: 1;
flex-basis: max(0px, (100vw - 395px)*100);
height: 100px;
}
.b-fc>*:nth-child(1) {
background-color: red;
}
.b-fc>*:nth-child(2) {
background-color: blue;
}
.b-fc>*:nth-child(3) {
background-color: green;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="a-fc">
<div>a1</div>
</div>
<div class="b-fc">
<div>b1</div>
<div>b2</div>
<div>b3</div>
</div>
</div>
So to answer your question: No, we cannot apply CSS on wrapping (CSS cannot detect wrapping) but we can always find workaround of each case.
