How Can I Make a Flexbox Child's Width Determined by Its Content?

Flexbox Child Width

A parent container div with display: flex has a child a. How can the child appear "inline" with its width determined by its content?

Solution

Use align-items: flex-start on the container or align-self: flex-start on each child.

Analysis

Flex containers have a default setting of align-items: stretch, causing child elements to expand along the cross axis. By setting align-items: flex-start or align-self: flex-start, you can prevent child width expansion and achieve inline appearance.

Additional Information

• align-self applies to individual flex items, while align-items applies to the entire container.
• align-items: flex-start ensures cross-axis alignment with the start of the container.
