How to implement guide with css flexbox width calculation in a dynamic dashboard using angular 12
I'm converting an old project and I've been researching this but I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working with a frustrating scenario with my Angular 12 dashboard where I'm using Flexbox to layout my sidebar and main content area..... The sidebar should take a fixed width while the main content should expand to fill the remaining space. Here's what I have: ```css .container { display: flex; height: 100vh; } .sidebar { width: 250px; background-color: #2c3e50; } .main-content { flex: 1; background-color: #ecf0f1; } ``` In my HTML, I have: ```html <div class="container"> <div class="sidebar">Sidebar</div> <div class="main-content">Main Content</div> </div> ``` The scenario arises when I resize the browser window. The `main-content` area is supposed to take up the remaining space, but it seems to be collapsing to a smaller width than expected when the window shrinks. I've confirmed that no additional margins or paddings are affecting it, and I even tried setting `box-sizing: border-box;` globally, but it didn't help. I've also inspected the elements in the developer tools, and the calculated width for `.main-content` appears to be incorrect. I get the following calculated width in the dev tools: `calc(100% - 250px - [some value])`, which indicates that there's an unexpected calculation happening. Is there something I'm missing about how Flexbox calculates widths especially when the window resizes? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Ubuntu. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is my first time working with Css LTS. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Hoping someone can shed some light on this.
