I'm going to start new angular project with angular 15 version. so, I need an idea about that to use Flex Layout in my project. can you help me

Answer 1

If you notice that a library is deprecated, do not start using it, because you will have additional effort in the future to migrate away from it. But always check the deprecation message in the library, usually they recommend what you should use instead.

In this case Angular flexlayout links to this Angular blog post which recommends to use CSS flexbox.

Some hints for that:

When I use CSS flexbox, I love this overview: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

And if you are not familiar with the syntax, you can practice it with flexbox froggy: https://flexboxfroggy.com/
