Comment

(Note: The X and Y axis / alignment direction can change depending 
if you are using flex-direction: row or column)

1. justify-content: Horizontal-X-axis
Alignment & Spacing along primary axis (X-axis)

flex-start; Align children horizontally left

flex-end; Align children horizontally right

center; Align children horizontally centered (amaze!)

space-between; Distribute children horizontally evenly across
entire width

space-around; Distribute children horizontally evenly across 
entire width (but with space on the edges

2. align-items: Vertical-Y-axis
Alignment only along secondary axis (Y-axis)

flex-start; Align children vertically top

flex-end; Align children vertically bottom

center; Align children vertically centered (amaze!)

baseline; Aligned children vertically so their baselines align 
(doesn't really work)

stretch; Force children to be height of container (great for columns)

justify-content vs align-content grid

Comment

justify-content and align-content align the whole grid.
While, justify-items and align-items align the items IN THAT GRID (same for align-self and justify-self)

justify content align items

Comment

display: 
    > flex <!-- Creates a flex-box container. Items in this container 
    become flex-box items. Useful for laying out elements in a single 
	row or column responsively. These items can have the following declerations 
    applied to them: -->

flex-direction: determines which direction is the main axis
	> row <!-- Main axis is left to right -->
    > row-reversed <!-- Main axis is right to left -->
    > column <!-- Main axis is top to bottom -->
    > column-reversed <!-- Main axis is bottom to bottom -->

flex-wrap: wraps content in flexcontainer if necessary
	> nowrap (default)
	> wrap

flex-flow: specifies both flex-direction and flex-wrap
	> ex = flex-flow: row wrap

justify-content: determines how elements are positioned along main axis (again, main axis is set by flex direction)
	> flex-start <!-- This is affected accordingly if main axis is reversed -->
    > flex-end <!-- This is affected accordingly if main axis is reversed -->
    > center
	> etc.

align-items: determines how elements are positioned along the non main axis, the cross axis (again, main axis is set by flex direction)
	> flex-start <!-- This is affected accordingly if main axis is reversed -->
    > flex-end <!-- This is affected accordingly if main axis is reversed -->
    > center
	> etc.
	> Note, align-items has a different meaning if display from above is NOT set to flex and is set to grid, ie (display: grid)
	
	When items are wraped, you use flex-content to change how rows are positioned to each other

align-content: 
	> center
	> space-between
	> space-around
	> etc.
