CSS flex-shrink Property
The flex-shrink property specifies how much the item will shrink relative to the rest of the items of the flex container. If the size of the items is larger than the container, items shrink to fit the flex container. When the flex-shrink property is not included in the flex shorthand declaration, the value is set to 1 by default. If there are no flexible items, the flex-shrink property won't have any effect.
The flex-shrink property is one of the CSS3 properties.
The flex-shrink factor is multiplied by the flex-basis when negative space is distributed.
