Simply set the parent as <code>display: flex</code>, allow flex-wrapping and then set the <code>flex-basis</code> of the children to any percentage value.</p> -<pre><code>.flex-container { - display: flex; - flex-wrap: wrap; -} -.flex-container__item { - flex: 1 1 auto; - flex-basis: 33%; -} -</code></pre> -<p>You will also notice the <code>flex</code> property set to <code>1 1 auto</code>.
