Designing Web Layouts with CSS and Flexbox

## The `flex-shrink` property

While `flex-grow` distributes the available space in a Flexbox container to grow flex-items, `flex-shrink` takes away from the basis of Flex components when there is not enough space for them.

Similar to `flex-grow`, items can also shrink proportionally with respect to the ratio of their `flex-shrink` values. The higher the `flex-shrink` value, the more an element will give up from itself with respect to other items to fit in its Flexbox container.

Shrinking is performed proportionally based on the individual `flex-shrink` and `flex-basis` values.
