Designing Web Layouts with CSS and Flexbox

Flexbox containers offer a variety of settings to control the horizontal and vertical alignment, wrapping, and direction of your Flexbox items. 

To summarize these settings, check out this demo to play around with different settings.

To demonstrate the effects of changing Flexbox container values, we made `flex-wrap: wrap;` as the default setting and added a `min-width: 180px` rule to the six Flex-items. Notice that neither the width, nor the height is set for any of the Flex-items.

Review and summarize your knowledge of changing the properties of Flexbox containers via an interactive example.
