Question 1

How do I install Sass Flex Mixin without using Bower?

Accepted Answer

Since Bower is outdated, you can manually download the files from GitHub or fork the repo. However, given it's unmaintained, it's better to migrate to Autoprefixer for automatic prefixing in modern build tools.

Question 2

Is Sass Flex Mixin still necessary with all browsers supporting Flexbox now?

Accepted Answer

No, with Flexbox natively supported in all major browsers, vendor prefixes are largely unnecessary. Tools like Autoprefixer are more comprehensive and maintained, making this library obsolete for new projects.

Question 3

Sass Flex Mixin vs Autoprefixer: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Autoprefixer is the better choice as it's actively maintained, handles prefixes for many CSS properties beyond Flexbox, and integrates easily with modern build processes. Sass Flex Mixin is unmaintained and Sass-specific.

Question 4

How to migrate from Sass Flex Mixin to Autoprefixer?

Accepted Answer

Remove the Sass mixin imports and dependencies, then set up Autoprefixer with PostCSS in your build pipeline. Configure browser targets, and Autoprefixer will automatically add prefixes based on your needs.

Question 5

Does Sass Flex Mixin work with CSS Grid or other layout methods?

Accepted Answer

No, it's exclusively designed for Flexbox layouts and doesn't support CSS Grid or other CSS features. You'd need separate tools or custom code for those, highlighting its limited scope.

Question 6

What browsers does Sass Flex Mixin support exactly?

Accepted Answer

It supports IE10 with legacy Flexbox syntax and older mobile WebKit browsers, plus modern browsers like FF, Safari, Chrome, IE11, and Opera with standards syntax, as specified in the README.
