Just wanted to make sure my conceptual model of flexbox is correct. When we set flex-direction to column does the main axes flow in a vertical direction?

  • I've had the same question for a while. I would like a confirmation of this, too :) – Jos van Weesel May 24 '18 at 20:20
  • Last time I checked `vertical = column` and `horizontal = row` – zer00ne May 24 '18 at 20:23
  • Your comment is correct, but the terminology is not. This question is asking what direction the main axis flows in when flex-direction is set to column ... – Ole May 24 '18 at 20:29
  • The answer to this question is provided in many, many existing posts. I've listed only three as duplicates. Not sure why this question needs to be re-opened. – Michael Benjamin May 24 '18 at 21:22
  • So you are saying that this question is about how flex wrap works? – Ole May 24 '18 at 22:40
  • No. I'm not saying this question is about how flex wrap works. I'm saying that that post has an answer that fully addresses your question. – Michael Benjamin May 25 '18 at 00:45
  • Also, notice the part that says: **"This question already has an answer here:"** Duplicates are not really about the question. They're about the answers. – Michael Benjamin May 25 '18 at 00:48
  • How does an answer to how flex wrap works address this question? – Ole May 25 '18 at 04:48
  • If you read the answer you will find out. – Michael Benjamin May 25 '18 at 14:06
  • OK - Finally found it after scanning for minutes ... not that different from citing Wikipedia or the specification and saying the answer is there though ... people come to stackoverflow for simple answers to simple questions .... – Ole May 25 '18 at 14:25

According to this article the main axis does flow in a vertical direction when flex-direction is set to column:

Remember that once you set the value to column, the main and cross axes are switched up.
