<p>The <code>flex</code> property may be specified using one, two, or three values.</p>

<ul>
 <li><strong>One-value syntax</strong>: the value must be one of:

  <ul>
   <li>a <code>&lt;number&gt;</code>: In this case it is interpreted as <code>flex: &lt;number&gt; 1 0</code>; the <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-shrink'>">&lt;flex-shrink&gt;</a></code> value is assumed to be 1 and the <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-basis'>">&lt;flex-basis&gt;</a></code> value is assumed to be <code>0</code>.</li>
   <li>one of the keywords: <code><a href="#none">none</a></code>, <code><a href="#auto">auto</a></code>, or <code>initial</code>.</li>
  </ul>
 </li>
 <li><strong>Two-value syntax</strong>: the first value must be a {{cssxref("&lt;number&gt;")}} and it is interpreted as <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-grow'>">&lt;flex-grow&gt;</a></code>. The second value must be one of:
  <ul>
   <li>a {{cssxref("&lt;number&gt;")}}: then it is interpreted as <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-shrink'>">&lt;flex-shrink&gt;</a></code>.</li>
   <li>a valid value for {{cssxref("width")}}: then it is interpreted as <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-basis'>">&lt;flex-basis&gt;</a></code>.</li>
  </ul>
 </li>
 <li><strong>Three-value syntax:</strong> the values must be in the following order:
  <ol>
   <li>a {{cssxref("&lt;number&gt;")}} for <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-grow'>">&lt;flex-grow&gt;</a></code>.</li>
   <li>a {{cssxref("&lt;number&gt;")}} for <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-grow'>">&lt;flex-shrink&gt;</a></code>.</li>
   <li>a valid value for {{cssxref("width")}} for <code><a href="#&lt;'flex-basis'>">&lt;flex-basis&gt;</a></code>.</li>
  </ol>
 </li>
</ul>

 <dd>The item is sized according to its <code>width</code> and <code>height</code> properties. It shrinks to its minimum size to fit the container, but does not grow to absorb any extra free space in the flex container. This is equivalent to setting "<code>flex: 0 1 auto</code>".</dd>
