Quickly manage the layout, alignment, and sizing of grid columns, navigation, components, and more with a full suite of responsive flexbox utilities. For more complex implementations, custom CSS may be necessary.

Apply `display` utilities to create a flexbox container and transform **direct children elements** into flex items. Flex containers and items are able to be modified further with additional flex properties.
Set the direction of flex items in a flex container with direction utilities. In most cases you can omit the horizontal class here as the browser default is `row`. However, you may encounter situations where you needed to explicitly set this value (like responsive layouts).
Use `.flex-row` to set a horizontal direction.
{% example html %}
<divclass="d-flex flex-row bd-highlight">
<divclass="p-2 bd-highlight">Flex item</div>
<divclass="p-2 bd-highlight">Flex item</div>
<divclass="p-2 bd-highlight">Flex item</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
Use `.flex-column` to set a vertical direction.
{% example html %}
<divclass="d-flex flex-column bd-highlight">
<divclass="p-2 bd-highlight">Flex item</div>
<divclass="p-2 bd-highlight">Flex item</div>
<divclass="p-2 bd-highlight">Flex item</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
Responsive variations also exist for `.flex-row` and `.flex-column`.
Change how flex items wrap in a flex container. Choose from no wrapping at all (the browser default) with `.flex-nowrap`, or enable wrapping with `.flex-wrap`.
