Evenly distributed children

CSS, Layout · Oct 13, 2021

Evenly distributes child elements within a parent element.

  • Use display: flex to use the flexbox layout.
  • Use justify-content: space-between to evenly distributes child elements horizontally. The first item is positioned at the left edge, while the last item is positioned at the right edge.
  • Alternatively, use justify-content: space-around to distribute the children with space around them, instead of between them.
