CSS Flexbox and Grid layout sandbox

Flex and Grid bugs are faster to fix when you can see justify-content and gap change live. This sandbox generates CSS for a row of items and a grid, then copies the rules.

Switch display, direction, wrap, justify, align and gap. The preview uses the same paper cards as the tools UI so the result looks like production on this brand.

For production layouts, move the copied CSS into a real stylesheet and replace the dummy boxes with components.
