Flexbox showing dynamic number of items with 5 items per row using flex basis to consume extra space



I want to show 5 items per row using flexbox.




.parent-wrapper
height: 100%;
width: 181px;
border: 1px solid black;


.parent
display: flex;
font-size: 0;
flex-wrap: wrap;
margin: -10px 0 0 -10px;


.child
display: inline-block;
background: blue;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
flex: 1 1 calc(100% * (1/5) - 10px - 1px);
height: 100px;


<body>
<div class="parent-wrapper">
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>



I want to use the flex grow, so that resize will not affect the data displayed. This code above will stretch the data if the row less than 5 items. If i didnt use the flex grow, it works fine for the view, but when resizing there will show some blank space after the data displayed.



If without flex grow, how can i consume extra space by just using the flex basis



calc(100% * (1/5) - 10px - 1px)

I create example for you, can try




.container
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: center;
width: 600px;
height: 300px;
border: solid 1px;
align-items: center;


.item
width: 100px;
height: 70px;
margin-right: 5px;
display: inline-block;
border: solid 1px;


<div class="container">
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
</div>
</div





And if you want that items move down if you resize window you must set width and height in percentage for container block

If I understand correctly, it seems that you are looking for the justify-content property. You want to remove space following the items while also preventing them from stretching. By setting justify-content: space-between you can achieve the desired effect. It will create an even space between the items but not after or before. I also set flex-grow: 0 0 as I assume you don't want your items to grow or shrink.


justify-content


justify-content: space-between


flex-grow: 0 0



Here is a link to w3schools listing all possible values for justify-content if space-between is not the layout you need. For example, you also have the option to center your items in order to consume the extra space.


justify-content


space-between


center




.parent-wrapper
height: 100%;
width: 181px;
border: 1px solid black;


.parent
display: flex;
font-size: 0;
flex-wrap: wrap;
margin: -10px 0 0 -10px;
justify-content: space-between; /* Spaces items evenly between each other */


.child
display: inline-block;
background: blue;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
flex: 0 0 calc(100% * (1/5) - 10px - 1px); /* Setting 0 (none) for flex-grow and 0 for flex shrink */
height: 100px;


<div class="parent-wrapper">
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
</div>





Not really, i want the next row 4 items aligned like the first row 5 items. The last 5th's item will left blank. Without the flex grow = 1, when i resizing my page, it will shows extra space behind. Not fully used of the space.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
