There is only one example that is not sufficient.Please fully explain the property with details and more examples.

Hey Adrian! You’re absolutely correct: the initial value of flex-basis is auto. But, as true to the article, it results in an initial value of 0 when it’s not specified in the flex shorthand property. The text you’re quoting there is actually pulled straight from the latest Editor’s Draft of the spec.

If I understand correctly, this refers to the default value of flex-basis as 0. If my understanding is accurate then this piece of information is incorrect.

The default value of flex-basis is auto

I mean for flex-direction: column; flex basis specify element’s height and for flex-direction: row; it specify element’s width.

Yep, everything here is relevant. You might also consider referring to the full flexbox guide for a complete overview of all the available flex properties with examples.

Thanks for the article and this website in general. May I ask if this post is still usable now since it’s a bit old? Thanks.

It uses the flex shorthand rule, the last value is for flex-basis and the demo has an explicit value set in em’s.
