Flex Layout

The Xamarin.Forms FlexLayout is new in Xamarin.Forms version 3.0. It is based on the CSS Flexible Box Layout Module, commonly known as flex layout or flex-box, so called because it includes many flexible options to arrange children within the layout.

FlexLayout is similar to the Xamarin.Forms StackLayout in that it can arrange its children horizontally and vertically in a stack. However, the FlexLayout is also capable of wrapping its children if there are too many to fit in a single row or column, and also has many options for orientation, alignment, and adapting to various screen sizes.

FlexLayout defines six public bindable properties and five attached bindable properties that affect the size, orientation, and alignment of its child elements.
