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

**No wrap (default)**: No wrapping and children might shrink as a result.

**Wrap**: Nodes are wrapped into multiple lines along the main axis if needed.

**Wrap reverse**: Behaves the same as `wrap` but the order of the lines is reversed.
