The flex-flow property is a sub-property of the Flexible Box Layout module. It is a shorthand for flex-direction and flex-wrap.

.element {
  flex-flow: row wrap;
}

Syntax

flex-flow: <‘flex-direction’> || <‘flex-wrap>;

You can specify one or two values, no matter the order.

Demo

Both lists behave in the exact same way:

  • The blue one has flex-direction: row and flex-wrap: wrap
  • The red one has flex-flow: row wrap
