The flex-flow property is a sub-property of the flexible box layout module and also a shorthand property for flex-wrap and flex-direction.

Note:

The flex property is useless when the element is not a flexible item.

Syntax:

flex-flow: flex-direction flex-wrap;

Values of flex-flow property:

row nowrap: It arranges the row the same as the text direction and the default value of wrap-flex is nowrap. It is used to specify that the item has no wrap. It makes item wrap in single lines. Syntax:

flex-flow: row nowrap;
