I have items of different sizes in the flex container which I want to display in several columns of different widths, depending on the content. flex-flow: column wrap works good for me with fixed container height but I have fixed width for container and want the height depending on the content. I.e. I want as many columns as fit in width.
Example, how it must look:
.container {
height: 80px;
display: flex;
align-items: flex-start;
justify-content: flex-start;
flex-flow: column wrap;
align-content: left;
}
.container > span {
margin: 3px 12px;
background: #ebd2b5
}
<div class="container">
<span>Apple</span>
<span>Apricot</span>
<span>Avocado</span>
<span>Banana</span>
<span>Bilberry</span>
<span>Blackberry</span>
<span>Blackcurrant</span>
<span>Blueberry</span>
<span>Boysenberry</span>
<span>Currant</span>
<span>Cherry</span>
<span>Cherimoya</span>
<span>Cloudberry</span>
<span>Coconut</span>
</div>
Any solutions with CSS?
