Keep Flex Items Fixed While Resizing Window

Post a Comment
I am working on a web app and I need help with css. I am a beginner at css so please bear with me. I'm trying to style a fixed sidebar for an app. The sidebar occupies the full hei

Solution 1:

Just wrap .sidebar__profile in another div so it can act as a block-element rather than a shrinking flex-element...

html {
  background-color: #141E30;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.sidebar {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  width: 300px;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  position: fixed;
  overflow: auto;
  background: #0a0c0f;
  color: #EAE9E9;
}

.sidebar__profile {
  padding: 16px;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
}

.sidebar__menuitem {
  padding-bottom: 10px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  flex-shrink: 0;
  height: 30px;
}

.count {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: 20px;
  border-radius: 6px;
  padding: 2px 5px;
  background-color: #EAE9E9;
  color: #0a0c0f;
}

      <div class="sidebar__menuitem">
        <div>Menu Item 1</div>
        <div class="count">2</div>
      </div>
      <div class="sidebar__menuitem">
        <div>Menu Item 2</div>
        <div class="count">2</div>
      </div>
      <div class="sidebar__menuitem">
        <div>Menu Item 3</div>
        <div class="count">2</div>
      </div>
      <div class="sidebar__menuitem">
        <div>Menu Item 4</div>
        <div class="count">2</div>
      </div>
      <div class="sidebar__menuitem">
        <div>Menu Item 5</div>
        <div class="count">2</div>
      </div>
      <div class="sidebar__menuitem">
        <div>Menu Item 6</div>
        <div class="count">2</div>
      </div>
      <div class="sidebar__menuitem">
        <div>Menu Item 7</div>
        <div class="count">2</div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>

</html>

Solution 2:

Try wrapping the menu items in their own container, giving that container a scrolling function, and disabling shrinking on the profile.

Add this to your code:

nav {
  overflow: auto;
}
.sidebar__profile {
  align-self: center;
  flex-shrink: 0;
}
