Wrap Elements in Flexbox at Specific Points

In flexbox layout, the flex-wrap property allows elements to wrap to the next line when the container width is exceeded. However, there is currently no standard way to specify which element should trigger the wrap.

One workaround to force wrapping after a certain element is to set flex-basis to 100% for that element within a media query targeting the specific width. This forces the element to take up the entire width of its parent container, effectively breaking the line after it:

/* Inside a media query targeting a specific width */
li:nth-child(2n) {
  flex-basis: 100%;
}

For example, the following CSS will wrap the list items after every two items:

ul {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

li:nth-child(2n) {
  flex-basis: 100%;
}

This method provides a flexible way to control wrapping behavior without requiring additional markup. However, it's important to note that it relies on media queries, which may introduce performance overhead and limitations in some situations.
