Is Flex Gap supported by Webflow yet?

Published on

Flex Gap is not directly supported by Webflow at the moment. However, there are workarounds that can be used to achieve similar results.

  1. Using negative margins: One way to create gaps between flexbox items is by applying negative margins to the items. By adjusting the margins, you can create empty spaces between the elements. This approach requires manual adjustments and can be time-consuming.

  2. Grid layout: Another alternative is to use Webflow's grid layout instead of a flexbox. Grid layout provides a more flexible way to create gaps between the grid items. By defining the column and row gaps, you can easily create spaces between the elements within the grid.

  3. Custom code: If you have coding experience, you can also write custom CSS to implement the flex gap feature. By using CSS properties like gap or grid-gap, you can achieve the desired spacing between flexbox items. You can add this custom code to the project using Webflow's custom code panel.

Please note that these workarounds may not provide the same level of flexibility and responsiveness as the native gap property in flexbox. It's essential to test and ensure that the layout behaves as expected across different devices and screen sizes.

Overall, while Webflow doesn't directly support flex gap, there are alternative techniques available to achieve similar spacing between flexbox items.
