What role does a container play in the two layouts?
Flexbox Container: The contrainer is the box that is holding the content within and the flexbox inside it is a one-dimensional layout system that we can use to create a row or a column axis layout. Every element that you have inside that flex container turns into a flex item.
CSS Grid: CSS grid is a two-dimensional layout system, we can work withs rows and columns together. With a grid container, you need to add the display: grid property, so you should now be able to define how many rows and columns do you want.
CSS Flexbox
What is Flexbox best used for?
- You have a small design to implement
- You need to align elements
- You need a content-first design
Flexbox is ideal when you have a small layout design to implement. Using display: flex, and then define the flex-direction that we want. And finally Flexbox is the ideal layout system to create web pages if you don’t know exactly how your content is going to look, so if you want everything just to fit in.
CSS Grid is Better When:
- You have a complex design to implement - if you are making something complex than something simple, then using CSS Grid is the better way to go and is better mantained for your webpage,
- You need to have a gap between block elements - If you are needing a gap between rows or columns without having the margin proptery then using CSS Grid would be your go to.
- You need to overlap elements - Unlike Flexbox you dont need to use hacks such as margins, transofmrs, or absoulte positioning to overlap elements. And its easy all you just need to use is the grid-column and grid-row properties!
- You need a layout-first design - It makes it easier to build with CSS Grid i fyou have already have your layout design structure done and with a two-dimensional layout, itll help you be able to use rows and columns together with positioning.

CSS grid is a two-dimensional layout system, we can work withs rows and columns together, which means that it opens a lot of different possibilities to build more complex and organized design systems, without having to fall back to some “hacky ways” that we were using in the past.
You should consider using Flexbox when:
- You have a small design to implement - If you have few rows or few columns you are using in your design, then flexbox is what you wanna use.
- You need to align elements - Just by adding in display: flex; and defining the flex-direction that you want it'll help you elements when using flexbox!
- You need a content-first design - If you are unsure about the content and how its going to look, flexbox would be perfect for that with its simple ideal layout system.
