## Flex Wrap

The `flex wrap` property is set on containers and controls what happens when
children overflow the size of the container along the main axis. By default
children are forced into a single line (which can shrink elements).

If wrapping is allowed items are wrapped into multiple lines along the main
axis if needed. `wrap reverse` behaves the same, but the order of the lines is
reversed.

<controls prop="flexWrap"></controls>

When wrapping lines [`align content`](/docs/align-content) can be used to specify how the
lines are placed in the container.
