使用 inline-flex 右对齐 div/文本

Question

I have a few animated links that use display: inline-flex . This works fine until I want to align them to the right. I can position to the right using float: right but I assume there's a better way?

I've tried justify-content: flex-end; which doesn't seem to work with inline-flex ? I'd be happy to use display: flex but that stretches my links out 100% wide which I don't want and I couldn't get anything to work to prevent that.

So I'm a little stuck. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to resolve this? Feel like I'm missing something obvious. Here's a CodePen showing the link styling...

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Ok, we have tried this, you include all links in the div and you make the css for your div:

display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: flex-end;

Answer 2

Wrap them all inside a container with display: inline-flex

HTML:

<div class="links-container">

  <a href="#" class="link">
    <span class="link__label">
      We Definitely Don’t Include..
    </span>
  </a>

  <a href="#" class="link link--core">
    <span class="link__label">
      Follow Us
    </span>
  </a>

  <a href="#" class="link link--core align-right">
    <span class="link__label">
      Align to the Right?
    </span>
  </a>
  
</div>

SCSS:

.links-container {
  display: inline-flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: flex-end;
}
