The flex columns can be aligned left or right by using the align-content property in the flex container class. The align-content property changes the behavior of the flex-wrap property. It aligns flex lines. It is used to specify the alignment between the lines inside a flexible container.
- For aligning columns to the left, the align-content property will set to ‘flex-start’.
- For aligning columns to the right, the align-content property will set to ‘flex-end’.
- For aligning columns to the extreme ends, the align-content property will set to ‘space-between’.
Example 1: This example display the flex box into the columns.
