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 .

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.

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
