The justify-content property: space-between | space-around

Do you remember the horizontal alignment mode, where the text is arranged evenly within the block and the edges of the text are fully justified to the edges of the block? Just like in this paragraph.

Flexbox has similar justify-content values that evenly distribute flex items along the main axis:

  • space-between — Distances between adjacent items are uniform, and no extra space is added between the items and the edges of the flex container.

  • space-around — Distances between neighboring items are uniform, and there is added space between the items and the edges of the flex container that is equal to half of the added space between neighboring items.

Now we will add a third cat and experiment with these values of justify-content.

A short summary. The justify-content property controls the arrangement of items along the main axis, and we have covered five values:

  • The default value flex-start,

  • flex-end,

  • center,

  • space-between,

  • and space-around.

    1. Add the cat Simba as the last item in each .room block by adding a new div with the classes rug and simba.
    2. Set items to be uniformly arranged along the main axis with no added space at the edges for the .room-1 block,
    3. and assign uniform arrangement of items with added spaces at the edges half the size of those between items for the .room-2 block.
