CSS
Assume that our page is organized by three parts: the header, main content and footer. It's a common layout that the footer is always displayed at the bottom no matter how long the main content is.
html
<body>
<div class="container">
<header>...</header>
<main>...</main>
<footer>...</footer>
</div>
</body>Using CSS flexbox, the layout can be implemented as following:
css
.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
min-height: 100vh;
}
header,
footer {
flex-shrink: 0;
}
main {
flex-grow: 1;
}Setting
`flex-grow: 1` to the main content will make it take the available spaces. The footer then sticks at the bottom.
