css - How to display 3 items per row in flexbox?

Question

I have a list and I want to display my li elements horizontally and 3 per row. I've been trying to get what I want, but no luck. Is there a solution?

<div class="serv">
  <ul>                                             
    @foreach(AppHttpControllersHomeController::getservice($service->id) as 
    $key => $value)
    <li>
      <span class="h3-service">{{$value->title}}</span>
      <p>{!!$value->description!!}</p>
    </li>
    @endforeach
  </ul>
</div>

.serv ul {
  display: inline-flex;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: 33%;
  text-align: left;
  float: left;
}
.serv ul li {
  list-style: none;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 0;
}
.serv ul li span {
  padding: 0;
}

Answer 1

Flex container:

• You probably want to use display: flex not inline-flex.
• Add flex-wrap: wrap to allow wrapping onto multiple lines.
• Remove width: 33% if you wish it to take entire space avaiable.

For 3 items per row, add on the flex items:

• flex-basis: 33.333333%
• You can also use the flex's shorthand like the following: flex: 0 0 33.333333% => which also means flex-basis: 33.333333%.

.serv ul {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  padding-left: 0;
}

.serv ul li {
  list-style: none;
  flex: 0 0 33.333333%;
}

<div class="serv">
  <ul>
    <li>1</li>
    <li>2</li>
    <li>3</li>
    <li>4</li>
    <li>5</li>
    <li>6</li>
  </ul>
</div>
