Role of CSS flex-wrap property no-wrap value
The CSS flex-wrap property with nowrap value prevents flex items from wrapping to new lines, keeping all items on a single row even if they overflow the container.
Syntax
selector {
flex-wrap: nowrap;
}
Example
The following example demonstrates how nowrap forces all flex items to stay on one line −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.mycontainer {
display: flex;
background-color: orange;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
width: 400px;
border: 2px solid #333;
}
.mycontainer > div {
background-color: white;
text-align: center;
line-height: 40px;
font-size: 18px;
width: 80px;
margin: 5px;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Flex Items with nowrap</h3>
<div class="mycontainer">
<div>Item 1</div>
<div>Item 2</div>
<div>Item 3</div>
<div>Item 4</div>
<div>Item 5</div>
<div>Item 6</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
An orange flex container with white bordered items arranged horizontally in a single row. The items may shrink or overflow the container width, but they remain on one line without wrapping to the next row.
