How to hide a flexbox element with smoth effect - javascript

I need to center divs and hide them on each click, the problem is when I use hide() and flexbox it makes a rude effect after dissapear, but if you just simply float elements to left it makes fine, how can I achieve this?
I need to apply exactly the same disappearing effect that is in the
first example to the second one (with flexbox).
Here is the example:
$(".example1, .example2").click(function(){
$(this).hide("slow")
});
.main{
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.example1{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
}
.example2{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
text-align: center;
margin-left: 8px;
}
.second{
border: 2px solid black;
display: flex;
display: -webkit-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: center;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="main">
With simple float left it hides slowly fine:
<div class="first">
<div class="example1">1</div>
<div class="example1">2</div>
<div class="example1">3</div>
<div class="example1">4</div>
<div class="example1">5</div>
<div class="example1">6</div>
<div class="example1">7</div>
<div class="example1">8</div>
<div class="example1">9</div>
<div class="example1">10</div>
<div class="example1">11</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">13</div>
<div>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Now flex center, when you hide it makes rude effect, it isnt like div.example1:
<div class="second">
<div class="example2">1</div>
<div class="example2">2</div>
<div class="example2">3</div>
<div class="example2">4</div>
<div class="example2">5</div>
<div class="example2">6</div>
<div class="example2">7</div>
<div class="example2">8</div>
<div class="example2">9</div>
<div class="example2">10</div>
<div class="example2">11</div>
<div class="example2">12</div>
<div class="example2">13</div>
<div class="example2">14</div>
</div>
</div>

Use flex-start for justify content instead of center. Now it has the same effect as with float. You can also use fadeOut instead of hide to achieve effect you want.
$(".example1, .example2").click(function(){
$(this).fadeOut("slow")
});
.main{
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.example1{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
}
.example2{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-start;
text-align: center;
margin-left: 8px;
}
.second{
border: 2px solid black;
display: flex;
display: -webkit-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: center;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="main">
With simple float left it hides slowly fine:
<div class="first">
<div class="example1">1</div>
<div class="example1">2</div>
<div class="example1">3</div>
<div class="example1">4</div>
<div class="example1">5</div>
<div class="example1">6</div>
<div class="example1">7</div>
<div class="example1">8</div>
<div class="example1">9</div>
<div class="example1">10</div>
<div class="example1">11</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">13</div>
<div>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Now flex center, when you hide it makes rude effect, it isnt like div.example1:
<div class="second">
<div class="example2">1</div>
<div class="example2">2</div>
<div class="example2">3</div>
<div class="example2">4</div>
<div class="example2">5</div>
<div class="example2">6</div>
<div class="example2">7</div>
<div class="example2">8</div>
<div class="example2">9</div>
<div class="example2">10</div>
<div class="example2">11</div>
<div class="example2">12</div>
<div class="example2">13</div>
<div class="example2">14</div>
</div>
</div>

First, you can notice that this issue doesn't happen when you try to remove an item from the last row (excluding the first one in the last row). The issue appears when the first element of the row n suddenly go to the row n-1 because of 2 things :
You are trying to remove this first element so its width is going to 0 then for sure he will be able to fit into the previous row.
You are trying to remove any element so its width is going to 0 and you are creating enough space for the first element of next row to jump on it.
And this is simply due to center alignment as there is no difference if you do it with float, inline-block or flex. What is happening is that during the transition all the elements are moving to the center and when the new element comes (the first one of the next row) all the elements are re-placed again to keep the center alignement and then you have the rude effect !
With left alignment all the elements will move to the left during the transition and they won't move again at the end of transition (when the new element comes) so we don't have any rude effect.
Here is a snippet that shows inline-block and flex working fine with left alignment :
$(".example2, .example1").click(function() {
$(this).hide("slow");
});
.main {
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.example1 {
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
text-align: center;
display:inline-block;
margin: 8px;
transition:margin 0.6s;
}
.example2 {

width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
text-align: center;
float:left;
display:inline-block;

transition:margin 0.6s;
}
.first {

}

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this if you want to only use the hide() of jQuery. Maybe some ideas of solution is to make a more complex code that will avoid the centered elements to move in two directions (you may for example change margin property at the same time to cancel the movement) or you can keep the left alignment and find some trick to simulate the centering (dynamically add some margin when window resize for example).
Hope this will help you to investigate more (even if I didn't really give a solution).

Well as pointed out already it would require some kind of "physics engine" moving the other blocks up smoothly etc.
But I made an attempt anyway which looks a bit more smooth at least.
$(".example1, .example2").click(function(){
var time = 600;
var $parent = $(this).parent();
$parent.animate({'width': '90%'}, time/2, function() {
$parent.animate({'width': '100%'}, time/2);
});
$(this).hide(time);
});
.main{
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.example1{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
}
.example2{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
text-align: center;
margin-left: 8px;
}
.second{
display: flex;
display: -webkit-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: center;
overflow: hidden;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="main">
<div class="second">
<div class="example2">1</div>
<div class="example2">2</div>
<div class="example2">3</div>
<div class="example2">4</div>
<div class="example2">5</div>
<div class="example2">6</div>
<div class="example2">7</div>
<div class="example2">8</div>
<div class="example2">9</div>
<div class="example2">10</div>
<div class="example2">11</div>
<div class="example2">12</div>
<div class="example2">13</div>
<div class="example2">14</div>
</div>
</div>

You can achieve the above without flex by making the children div's as inline-block with the parent being set with text-align:center, please take a look at this.
$(".example1, .example2").click(function(){
$(this).fadeOut("slow");
});
.main{
border: 2px dotted black;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.example1{
display: inline-block;
background-color: steelblue;
color: #FFF;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 10px;
padding: 15px 20px;
}
.first{
text-align: center;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="main">
<div class="first">
<div class="example1">1</div>
<div class="example1">2</div>
<div class="example1">3</div>
<div class="example1">4</div>
<div class="example1">5</div>
<div class="example1">6</div>
<div class="example1">7</div>
<div class="example1">8</div>
<div class="example1">9</div>
<div class="example1">10</div>
<div class="example1">11</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">13</div>
</div>
</div>

My idea is: fade the whole parent container during reordering.
The effect will not so rude.
$(".second div").click(function() {
$(this).hide("slow");
var p = $(this).parent();
p.addClass("hidden");
setTimeout(function() {
p.removeClass("hidden")
}, 300);
});
p {
clear: both;
}
.second {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: center;
border: 2px solid black;
transition: 200ms;
}
.second div {
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
}
.hidden {
opacity: 0;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="second">
<div>1</div>
<div>2</div>
<div>3</div>
<div>4</div>
<div>5</div>
<div>6</div>
<div>7</div>
<div>8</div>
<div>9</div>
<div>10</div>
<div>11</div>
<div>12</div>
<div>13</div>
<div>14</div>
</div>

Instead of justify-content: center I changed it to justify-content: space-evenly (in your case, looks somewhat similar to center only) also updated the function from simply hiding to .animate and then .hide. Will it do?
$(".example1, .example2").click(function(){
var _this = this;
$(_this).animate({width: "0"}, 500, function(){ $(_this).hide(500) })
});
.main{
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.example1{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
}
.example2{
background-color: grey;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
text-align: center;
margin-left: 8px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.second{
border: 2px solid black;
display: flex;
display: -webkit-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-evenly;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="main">
With simple float left it hides slowly fine:
<div class="first">
<div class="example1">1</div>
<div class="example1">2</div>
<div class="example1">3</div>
<div class="example1">4</div>
<div class="example1">5</div>
<div class="example1">6</div>
<div class="example1">7</div>
<div class="example1">8</div>
<div class="example1">9</div>
<div class="example1">10</div>
<div class="example1">11</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">12</div>
<div class="example1">13</div>
<div>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Now flex center, when you hide it makes rude effect, it isnt like div.example1:
<div class="second">
<div class="example2">1</div>
<div class="example2">2</div>
<div class="example2">3</div>

<div class="example2">6</div>
<div class="example2">7</div>

<div class="example2">11</div>
<div class="example2">12</div>
<div class="example2">13</div>

The goal is that when div increases, it will overlap the next row(s) and will not push them down.I tried using position: absolute; but it destroyed the form of the Grid Layout.
It's important to me to keep the shape of the grid, it's essential.
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;
padding: 10px;
}
.grid-item {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
padding: 20px;
font-size: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
.grid-item:hover {
background-color: #ffcccc;
height: 90px;
}
<div class="grid-container">
<div class="grid-item">1</div>
<div class="grid-item">2</div>
<div class="grid-item">3</div>
<div class="grid-item">4</div>
<div class="grid-item">5</div>
<div class="grid-item">6</div>
<div class="grid-item">7</div>
<div class="grid-item">8</div>
<div class="grid-item">9</div>
</div>

In your example, you specify the height on hover. You could also specify a negative bottom margin to compensate (and use z-index to make sure it appears on top).
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;
padding: 10px;
}
.grid-item {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
padding: 20px;
font-size: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
.grid-item:hover {
background-color: #ffcccc;
height: 90px;
margin-bottom: -60px;
z-index: 100;
}
<div class="grid-container">
<div class="grid-item">1</div>
<div class="grid-item">2</div>
<div class="grid-item">3</div>
<div class="grid-item">4</div>
<div class="grid-item">5</div>
<div class="grid-item">6</div>
<div class="grid-item">7</div>
<div class="grid-item">8</div>
<div class="grid-item">9</div>

I am developing a flex table from scratch and the table supports filtering and sorting. The icons for filters and sorting are displayed in the table header (right corner). Also my table supports that the user can position the header text left/center;
My problem:
Since the icons are inside the table header, icons as well occupies some space. So when i position the elements in the center, i see the alignment gets disturbed as shown below.
body {
width: 100%;
}
.table-header, .table-body {

width: 150px;
border-right: 1px solid black;

}
.header .text {
width: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.icons {
float: right;
right: 0;
display: flex;
}

Code: Here
What i tried
So since the icons as well take some space, to avoid this i positioned them absolutely relative to the header. So the alignment problem got solved . But for long headers where ellipsis has to be shown, the ellipsis hides behind the icons as shown below
Code: Here
So what is the solution to this ? I want to maintain the center position by reducing the space occupied by the icons. Is it possible through CSS? Please help. Thanks :)

If you try to do that with absolute positioning you need to know what exact width your icons can take.
Then possible solution is to add padding rule (left/right) into table headers, so CSS code should be like this:
body {
width: 100%;
}
.table-header, .table-body {
display: flex;
width: fit-content;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;
}
.header, .data {
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 0 30px;
display: flex;
min-width: 150px;
width: 150px;
border-right: 1px solid black;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
position: relative;
}
.header .text {
width: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.icons {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}

This question already has answers here:
When flexbox items wrap in column mode, container does not grow its width
(9 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm trying to build navigation which will be vertical. Navigation's outer width will be fixed and when the item will be increased then other items will go to the next column.
I tried it with flexbox and added flex-wrap: wrap; in the container. But cant design this.
I tried with these codes.
.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 320px;
width: 80px;
flex-wrap: wrap;
background: red;
padding: 10px
}
.item {
padding: 20px 30px;
background: #efefef;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
width: 20px
}
<div class="container">
<div class="item">1</div>
<div class="item">2</div>
<div class="item">3</div>
<div class="item">4</div>
<div class="item">5</div>
<div class="item">6</div>
<div class="item">7</div>
</div>

Instead of width: 80px; give width: auto or do not provide width at all. When the number of items increases touches to the bottom of the container it will be added to the next column.
You do not have control over the container with here. You should make it flexible with auto width.
Learn more here.
.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 320px;
flex-wrap: wrap;
background: red;
padding: 10px;
width: auto;
}
.item {
padding: 20px 30px;
background: #efefef;
display: block;
margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
width: 20px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="item">1</div>
<div class="item">2</div>
<div class="item">3</div>
<div class="item">4</div>
<div class="item">5</div>
<div class="item">6</div>
<div class="item">7</div>
<div class="item">8</div>
</div>

How can I css this diagram while supporting IE11 and all major browsers?
Flexbox doesn't seem to support dynamic height.
Do I have to have left/right columns for lg viewport and no columns for xs viewport?
Codepen
<div class="container">
<div id="box1" class="box">box1</div>`
<div id="box2" class="box">box2</div>`
<div id="box3" class="box">box3</div>`
<div id="box4" class="box">box4</div>`
<div id="box5" class="box">box5</div>`
</div>

As mentioned in my comment, you can render both and show only one layout based on the current screen size using media queries.
Sample Hack Implementation:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container {
width: 100%;
}
.row {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: flex-start;
width: 100%;
}
.column {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: flex-start;
}
.item {
width: 100%;
border: solid 1px #dadada;
border-radius: 16px;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.desktop-only{
display: none;
}
.column{
width: 100%;
}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 601px) {
.mobile-only{
display: none;
}
.column{
width: 50%;
}
}
.item-1 {
height: 200px;
}
.item-2 {
height: 400px;

Breakpoint is set to 600px. Change window width above and below 600px to see the layout "change"

In this JsBin example, a particular row which does not have cells but has generic divs, does not consider the table's 100% width even though table width is explicitly specified as 100%.
Is there a way to fix this?
