Definition

A CSS layout model that arranges items in a row or column, with powerful alignment and spacing controls.

نموذج تخطيط CSS يرتّب العناصر في صف أو عمود، مع عناصر تحكم قوية في المحاذاة والتباعد.

Why It Matters

Flexbox is the foundation of almost every UI layout in 404Fault. Navbars, cards, buttons, form rows — everything is built with `flex items-center gap-2` and similar Tailwind flex utilities.

Flexbox هو أساس كل تخطيط واجهة مستخدم تقريبًا في 404Fault. أشرطة التنقل والبطاقات والأزرار وصفوف النماذج — كل شيء مبني بـ`flex items-center gap-2` وأدوات Tailwind flex المماثلة.

Full Definition

Flexbox (Flexible Box Layout) is a CSS layout mode that arranges elements along a single axis (row or column). Key properties: `display: flex` on the container; `justify-content` for main-axis alignment; `align-items` for cross-axis; `flex-wrap` to allow wrapping; `gap` for spacing. Tailwind CSS abstracts these as utility classes: `flex`, `items-center`, `justify-between`, `gap-4`. All 404Fault UI components use Flexbox for alignment.
Flexbox نمط تخطيط CSS يرتّب العناصر على محور واحد (صف أو عمود). الخصائص الرئيسية: `display: flex` على الحاوية؛ `justify-content` لمحاذاة المحور الرئيسي؛ `align-items` للمحور المتقاطع؛ `flex-wrap` للسماح بالالتفاف؛ `gap` للتباعد. Tailwind يجرّد هذه كفئات مساعدة: `flex`، `items-center`، `justify-between`، `gap-4`.

Example Usage

“<div className='flex items-center justify-between gap-4'> — in Tailwind; or `display:flex; align-items:center; gap:1rem` in CSS”

“<div className='flex items-center justify-between gap-4'> — في Tailwind؛ أو `display:flex; align-items:center; gap:1rem` في CSS”
