Flexbox in responsive table layout: Column not stretching to full height
I am using flexbox to create a responsive table. I'd like to achieve the following layout:
Mobile:
X | 1 | 2 |
A | | |
B | | |
C | | |
Desktop:
X | A | B | C |
1 | | | |
2 | | | |
To this end I have created multiple flexboxes, one as a parent to the entire business and one for each row on the mobile layout.
I have then used breakpoints and flex-direction: row/column, which appears to work pretty well save for one issue:
On the Desktop variant, the X | 1 | 2 column (see style tickets__row) does not stretch to the full height of the parent. This is not what I expected, since align-items: stretch is the default property (plus assigning it has no effect).
How can I solve this? Demo code:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.tickets__table {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.tickets__row {
display: flex;
flex: 1 1 auto;
flex-direction: row;
}
.tickets__cell {
width: 33%;
}
.tickets-label {
border: 1px solid rebeccapurple;
}
.tickets-content {
border: 1px solid aqua;
}
@media all and (min-width:600px) {
.tickets__table {
flex-direction: row;
}
.tickets__row {
flex-direction: column;
}
.tickets__cell {
width: 100%;
}

You simply need to adjust flex-grow like this:
.tickets__cell:not(:first-child) {
flex-grow:1;
}
Full code:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.tickets__table {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.tickets__row {
display: flex;
flex: 1 1 auto;
flex-direction: row;
}
.tickets__cell {
width: 33%;
}
.tickets-label {
border: 1px solid rebeccapurple;
}
.tickets-content {
border: 1px solid aqua;
}
@media all and (min-width:600px) {
.tickets__table {
flex-direction: row;
}
.tickets__cell:not(:first-child) {
flex-grow: 1;
}
.tickets__row {
flex-direction: column;
}
.tickets__cell {
width: 100%;
}
}<div class="tickets__table">
<div class="tickets__row">
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-label">
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-label">
Price 1
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-label">
Price 2
</div>
</div>
<div class="tickets__row">
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-label">
Ticket A
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-content">
$495<br />
<s>$595</s>
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-content">
$595<br />
<s>$695</s>
</div>
</div>
<div class="tickets__row">
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-label">
Ticket B
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-content">
$545<br />
<s>$655</s>
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-content">
$655<br />
<s>$765</s>
</div>
</div>
<div class="tickets__row">
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-label">
Ticket C
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-content">
$425<br />
<s>$505</s>
</div>
<div class="tickets__cell tickets-content">
$505<br />
<s>$590</s>
</div>
</div>
</div>As as side note the default value of justify-content is flex-startref and there is no stretch value for it. We have the flex-grow propety to deal with spacing on main axis. stretch is only available for align-items that control the cross axis.
The MDN page (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/justify-content) is somehow missleading because we ca find stretch as a potential value for justify-content which is correct but there is a missing information that we can only find in the specification of a working draft:
The justify-content property applies along the main axis, but since stretching in the main axis is controlled by flex, stretch behaves as flex-start.
So using stretch value within a flexbox container will fallback to flex-start

</div>As as side note the default value of justify-content is flex-startref and there is no stretch value for it. We have the flex-grow propety to deal with spacing on main axis. stretch is only available for align-items that control the cross axis.
The MDN page (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/justify-content) is somehow missleading because we ca find stretch as a potential value for justify-content which is correct but there is a missing information that we can only find in the specification of a working draft:
The justify-content property applies along the main axis, but since stretching in the main axis is controlled by flex, stretch behaves as flex-start.
So using stretch value within a flexbox container will fallback to flex-start

You simply need to adjust flex-grow like this:
.tickets__cell:not(:first-child) {
flex-grow:1;
}
Full code:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.tickets__table {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.tickets__row {
display: flex;
flex: 1 1 auto;
flex-direction: row;
}
.tickets__cell {
width: 33%;
}
.tickets-label {
border: 1px solid rebeccapurple;
}
.tickets-content {
border: 1px solid aqua;
}
@media all and (min-width:600px) {
.tickets__table {
flex-direction: row;
}
.tickets__cell:not(:first-child) {
flex-grow: 1;
}
.tickets__row {
flex-direction: column;
}
.tickets__cell {

}
