How Can I Maintain Uniform Width for Wrapped Flex Items Using Media Queries?

Maintaining Uniform Width for Wrapped Flex Items

When using flexbox to display a series of items, it can be desirable to maintain a uniform width for the items, even when they wrap onto multiple lines. Traditionally, this has posed a challenge, especially when the item's width is within a range specified using min-width and max-width.

This article presents an unconventional but effective workaround that utilizes media queries to achieve the desired effect.

Mixin (SCSS)

@mixin flex-wrap-fix($flex-basis, $max-viewport-width: 2000px) {
  flex-grow: 1;
  flex-basis: $flex-basis;
  max-width: 100%;

  $multiplier: 1;
  $current-width: 0px;

  @while $current-width < $max-viewport-width {
    $current-width: $current-width + $flex-basis;
    $multiplier: $multiplier + 1;

    @media(min-width: $flex-basis * $multiplier) {
      max-width: percentage(1/$multiplier);
    }
  }
}

Usage

To apply the workaround, simply apply the mixin to your flex item:

.flex-item {
  @include flex-wrap-fix(100px)
}

Explanation

We create media queries to define the maximum width of the items based on the browser window width. For example, if each item should have a maximum width of 100px, we create media queries for browser widths ranging from 100px to 600px, ensuring that the item width adapts appropriately for different browser sizes.

By implementing this mixin, wrapped flex items will maintain their defined width while remaining within the specified constraints. It's important to note that the flex container width should match the viewport size to prevent discrepancies.

Additionally, the provided update allows for the workaround to be applied to the flex container, ensuring proper item wrapping and width maintenance regardless of flex container width.
