On this page

The Flex component behaves the same as the Box component except that it has display: flex set by default.

Deprecation

Use Box instead.

Before

<Flex flexWrap="nowrap">
  <Box p={3} color="fg.onEmphasis" bg="accent.emphasis">
    Item 1
  </Box>
</Flex>

After

<Box display="flex" flexWrap="nowrap">
  <Box p={3} color="fg.onEmphasis" bg="accent.emphasis">
    Item 1
  </Box>
</Box>

Default example

<Box borderWidth="1px" borderStyle="solid" borderColor="border.default" width={300} height={300} borderRadius={0}>
  <Flex flexWrap="nowrap">
    <Box p={3} color="fg.onEmphasis" bg="accent.emphasis">
      Item 1
    </Box>
    <Box p={3} color="fg.onEmphasis" bg="attention.emphasis">
      Item 2
    </Box>
    <Box p={3} color="fg.onEmphasis" bg="danger.emphasis">
      Item 3
    </Box>
  </Flex>
</Box>

<Box borderWidth="1px" borderStyle="solid" borderColor="border.default" width={300} height={300} borderRadius={0}>
  <Flex flexWrap="nowrap">
    <Box p={3} color="fg.onEmphasis" bg="accent.emphasis">
