flex-basis: 100% and flex-wrap

Let’s learn about an interesting effect that occurs when we use percentage basic sizes.

If we assign 100% as the basic size for the flex item and at the same time allow items to overflow onto a new line, then the items will be arranged in a column, though the main axis of the container will flow from left to right.

Let’s experiment.
