Responsive Flexbox Navigation with Wrapping

Build a flexible navigation menu that distributes items evenly and wraps onto multiple lines on smaller screens using CSS Flexbox, maintaining readability and responsiveness.

.navbar {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap; /* Allow items to wrap to the next line */
  justify-content: space-between; /* Distribute items with space between them */
  list-style: none;
  padding: 10px;
  background-color: #333;
  margin: 0;
}

.nav-item {
  flex-basis: auto; /* Allow items to determine their own size */
  margin: 5px 10px;
}

.nav-item a {
  color: white;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 5px 10px;
  display: block;
}
How it works: This snippet creates a responsive navigation bar using Flexbox. `display: flex` makes the list items flex items. `flex-wrap: wrap` allows items to move to the next line when space is insufficient, crucial for responsiveness. `justify-content: space-between` distributes items along the main axis, putting space between them. `flex-basis: auto` lets items take their natural size, and margins provide internal spacing.
