flex-direction

Summary

La proprietà CSS flex-direction specifica come gli elementi flex vengono disposti all'interno di un contenitore flex definendo l'asse principale e la direzione (normale o invertita).

If its dir attribute is ltr, row represents the horizontal axis oriented from the left to the right, and row-reverse from the right to the left; if the dir attribute is rtl, row represents the axis oriented from the right to the left, and row-reverse from the left to the right.
