Common Flexbox Layouts: Nav Cards Media Object
Build practical navigation bars, card grids, and media objects using flexbox.
Why Flexbox Patterns Matter
Certain layout patterns appear in virtually every web project. Flexbox solves each efficiently with minimal CSS. Knowing these patterns means faster development and less code.
Navigation Bar Pattern
A horizontal nav with a logo on the left and links on the right:
.navbar {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
padding: 0 24px;
height: 64px;
}
.navbar .logo {
flex: none;
margin-right: auto; /* pushes links to the right */
}
.navbar .nav-links {
display: flex;
gap: 24px;
