The flex columns can be aligned left or right by using the align-content property in the flex container class. The align-content property changes the behavior of the flex-wrap property. It aligns flex lines. It is used to specify the alignment between the lines inside a flexible container.

  • For aligning columns to the left, the align-content property will set to ‘flex-start’.
  • For aligning columns to the right, the align-content property will set to ‘flex-end’.
  • For aligning columns to the extreme ends, the align-content property will set to ‘space-between’.

Example 1: This example display the flex box into the columns.




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <style>
        .flex-container {
            display: flex;
            height:400px;
            flex-flow: column wrap;
            background-color: green;
        }
          
        .flex-container > div {
            background-color: #fff;
            width: 100px;
            margin: 10px;
            text-align: center;
            line-height: 75px;
            font-size: 30px;
        }
    </style>
