Flexbox Container Height Not Adjusting with Nested Elements in React
I'm not sure how to approach Does anyone know how to I can't seem to get I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm working on a React application where I have a Flexbox container that contains several nested elements. I intended for the container to grow with its content, but I'm working with an scenario where the height does not adjust properly. Using Chrome's developer tools, I can see that my flex container has a fixed height set by default, likely due to a parent element's CSS styles. Here's the relevant CSS I'm using for the flex container: ```css .container { display: flex; flex-direction: column; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #ccc; height: 300px; /* This is the height causing issues */ } ``` And here's how I'm rendering the nested elements in my React component: ```jsx const NestedComponent = () => { return ( <div className="nested"> <p>Item 1</p> <p>Item 2</p> <p>Item 3</p> <p>Item 4</p> </div> ); }; const App = () => { return ( <div className="container"> <NestedComponent /> </div> ); }; ``` The question arises when the number of items in `NestedComponent` changes (for example, I want to conditionally render a few more items). Even if I change the height of the `.container` to `auto`, it seems to retain the 300px height due to the overflow property set to hidden. I've tried removing the `overflow: hidden;` style, but that causes the layout to break in other parts of my application. I'm not receiving any behavior messages, but the layout isn't behaving as expected, especially on narrow screen sizes. Could this be related to how Flexbox calculates space or maybe an scenario with how React re-renders components? Any suggestions on how to make the container dynamically adjust its height based on the content while maintaining the intended layout would be greatly appreciated! I've been using Javascript for about a year now. Cheers for any assistance! For context: I'm using Javascript on Windows 10. This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building.
