Flexbox Break Row into Even Amount of Children

Comment

Today i needed a Flexbox row to break into an equal amount of tiles. Some Browser support the css page break to achieve this but unfortunately this isn’t working in Google Chrome. So I had to figure something out. The solution is to add an element that is hidden by default and steps in as a line breaker when required. My breakpoint is set to 500px.

<div class="flex-container">
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="break"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
</div>

</div>

.flex-container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-content: stretch;
  align-items: stretch;
}

.flex-item {
  order: 0;
  flex: 1 1 auto;
  align-self: auto;
  margin: 5px;
  border: 1px solid blue;
  min-height: 300px;
}

.break {
  display: block;
  height: 1px;
  width: 100%;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 500px) {
  .break {
    display: none;
  }
}

.flex-container {

display: flex;

flex-direction: row;

flex-wrap: wrap;

justify-content: space-between;

align-content: stretch;

align-items: stretch;

}

.flex-item {

order: 0;

flex: 1 1 auto;

align-self: auto;

margin: 5px;

border: 1px solid blue;

min-height: 300px;

}

.break {

display: block;

height: 1px;

width: 100%;

}

@media screen and (min-width: 500px) {

.break {

display: none;

}

Result on screens < 500px width:

Result on screens > 500px width:
