html - Prevent flex items from stretching

Question

Sample:

div {
  display: flex;
  height: 200px;
  background: tan;
}
span {
  background: red;
}

<div>
  <span>This is some text.</span>
</div>

Answer 1

You don't want to stretch the span in height?
You have the possiblity to affect one or more flex-items to don't stretch the full height of the container.

To affect all flex-items of the container, choose this:
You have to set align-items: flex-start; to div and all flex-items of this container get the height of their content.

div {
  align-items: flex-start;
  background: tan;
  display: flex;
  height: 200px;
}
span {
  background: red;
}

<div>
  <span>This is some text.</span>
</div>
