This is an "unofficial" Tachyons module that provides a set of classes to construct flex box layouts.
This module is deprecated and will no longer be maintained. Latest Tachyons release now provides flexbox capabilities, both inside the main package, and through the official flexbox module: (https://www.npmjs.com/package/tachyons-flexbox).
Flex Box Layouts could easily be achieved by mixing & matching flex-related properties, stablishing a behavioral relationship between the flex container, and its inner flex items.
While flex box layout implementations are limitless, there are still some regularly common use cases from where to start. The classes enlisted here should provide enough flexibility to tackle down most of those scenarios, while keeping a simple and clear nomenclature.
Visit the official Tachyons site here: http://tachyons.io
npm install --save-dev tachyons-flex
or download the css on github and include in your project.
Just set a df class onto your desired flex container element and a flx-i class onto a flex item element, inside. For different results, mix & match the provided classes, and be sure to check index.html file for more thorough examples.
/*
## FLEX BOX LAYOUT
Mix & match container-level flex properties with item-level ones to achieve
desired flex box layouts.
More complex flex layout system may need more fine-tuned values for different
flex properties, but in most cases, simple layouts can easily be achieved by
a combination of the classes enlisted here.

### To note:
The `df` class defines a flex container, from where all flex layouts start.
This class was defined following the syntax found on the __Display__ module:
https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons-display
Base:
flx = Base for all flex-related properties
Modifiers:
dr = sets flex direction to row (default value)
dc = sets flex direction to column
drr = sets flex direction to reversed row
dcr = sets flex direction to reversed column
i = sets a flex item, standing for `flex: 1`; property value, which is a
shorthand for `flex-grow: 1;`, `flex-shrink: 1;` and `flex-basis: 0%;`.
This is the most likely usage for a flex item: to grow so as to take all
white space available.
g0 = sets flex grow to 0
s0 = sets flex shrink to 0
b0 = sets flex basis to 0%
g1 = sets flex grow to 1
s1 = sets flex shrink to 1
b1 = sets flex basis to 100%
ais = align items to stretch (default)
aifs = align items to start (flex-start)
aife = align items to end (flex-end)
aic = align items to center
aib = align items to baseline
acs = align content to stretch (default)
acfs = align content to start (flex-start)
acfe = align content to end (flex-end)
acc = align content to center
acsb = align content with space between
acsa = align content with space around
ass = align self to stretch (default)
asfs = align self to start (flex-start)
asfe = align self to end (flex-end)
asc = align self to center
asb = align self to baseline
jcfs = justify content to start (flex-start, default)
jcfe = justify content to end (flex-end)
jcc = justify content to center
jcsb = justify content to space between
jcsa = justify content to space around
w = flex wrap
wr = flex wrap reverse
wn = flex no wrap (default)
o0 = order 0
o1 = order 1
o2 = order 2
o3 = order 3
o4 = order 4
o5 = order 5

First of all, I took the dare to add a df class, that follows the syntax presented on the Display module. This was a necessary decision, since HTML elements rely on the display property set to flex to be converted into "flex containers".
Unfortunately, Flex Box definitions don't necessarily have a "namespace" of their own, and are actually hard to wrap on a common syntax. For this effect, I set a flx base namespace, so then all flex-related properties are appended as modifiers, keeping them as short and less verbose as possible.
