Set distance between flexbox items

You can use the gap property to set the distance between flexbox items. The gap property is a brief of row-gap and column-gap, and it specifies the gap between the rows and columns of a grid or flex container.

Using with flexbox

.container {
 display: flex;
 gap: 10px; /* Set the gap between flex items */
}

In the above syntax, The gap property is applied to a flex container with the .container class, and it sets a gap of 10px between flex items.

Also, you can use margins on flex items to create space between them

.item {
 margin-right: 10px; /* Set the right margin between flex items */
}

The gap property is recommended for creating space between flex items, as it is cleaner and built-in, especially when working with flexible layouts.

Example- 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Flexbox Example</title>
  <style>
    /* using css gap property */
    .container {
      display: flex;
      gap: 15px; /* Set the distance between flex items */
    }
    /* using css margin property */
    .container-2{
      display: flex;
    }
    .container-2 .item-2{
       margin-right: 15px; /* Set the distance between flex items */
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <h3>Using "gap" property on parent element</h3>
  <div class="container">
    <div class="item">Item-1</div>
    <div class="item">Item-2</div>
    <div class="item">Item-3</div>
    <div class="item">Item-4</div>
  </div>
  <h3>Using "margin" in flex items</h3>
  <div class="container-2">
    <div class="item-2">Item-1</div>
    <div class="item-2">Item-2</div>
    <div class="item-2">Item-3</div>
    <div class="item-2">Item-4</div>
  </div>

</body>
</html>
