Use Flex

Flex styles are a way of changing the layout of the page so it is responsive. When using Flex, the layout and position of the Blocks will respond to fit the screen, which is important in ensuring that users have a good user experience regardless of the screen size they are viewing your Application on.

It is recommended that you read the article listed below to improve your understanding of Devices and the Style Manager.

Enabling Flex Styles

To enable Flex styles, follow the steps below:

Select the parent Block of the Blocks you want to configure the position for.
Click on Block Styling.
Choose Flex for the display or enable the flex container.

Flex Container

Direction

The direction determines which direction the content will go. It can either be:

Row - Left to right
Reverse row - right to left
Column – Top to Bottom
Reverse column – Bottom to Top

Justify

Justify determines the way the contents are laid out. It can either be:

Start
End
Space Between (puts spaces between the Blocks)
Space Around (puts an equal amount of space around each Block)
Center

Align-Items

Determines the vertical alignment of the Blocks. It can either be:

Start
End
Stretch
Center

Blocks inside the Flex Container

Grow

Grow will grow the item to fit the container.

If multiple Blocks have a grow value greater than 0, they will take up a ratio of the available space.

Shrink

Shrink determines whether an item is allowed to shrink if the screen is too small or if other Blocks take up too much space. Shrink will not work if the Block has a minimum width or height.
