flex-box, keep a first line unwrapped

I have a container where I need inner blocks following each other and behave like floated ones. I cannot use float as the layout should re-arrange after a resolution changes. Currently, I need both the blocks 1 (70% width) and 2 (30%) reside the same line, but a second one moves itself to the next line:



enter image description here



HTML:



<section>
<div>Header</div>
<div>SideRight</div>
<div>Bottom line</div>
</section>


CSS



body * {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
section {
background: #ddd;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
max-width:300px;
}
section > div{
padding: 10px;
}

section > div:nth-child(1){
background-color: pink;
width: 70%;
}

section > div:nth-child(2){
background-color: lightgreen;
align-self: flex-end;
width: 30%;
}

section > div:nth-child(3){
background-color: yellow;
}


You can see the live example here: https://plnkr.co/edit/f6LWiQfpRUwYYyW9Dve4?p=preview



So, is it possible to achieve? Finally, it should look like this:

          You can add flex-wrap: wrap; to section and remove the flex-direction: column; like this



          section {
          background: #ddd;
          display: flex;
          /* flex-direction: column; */
          max-width: 300px;
          flex-wrap: wrap; //add this
          }


          if you want the 'Bottom line' fill the entire row add flex-grow: 1; to section > div:nth-child(3)



          The final result will be something like this



          section {
          background: #ddd;
          display: flex;
          /* flex-direction: column; */
          max-width: 300px;
          flex-wrap: wrap; //new
          }

          section > div:nth-child(3) {
          background-color: yellow;
          flex-grow: 1; //new
          }


          Here a working example

            Do you explicitly NEED to use column display for this section? If not, this is easy to achieve with flex-wrap: wrap on the parent section and then setting a percentage width: 100% to the last child element. You also have to remove flex-direction: column from the parent.



            Here's an updated example for you which produces the desired result.

              I changed your flex-direction to a flex-wrap and set the 3rd div to 100% width. Hope this helps :)

                    section > div:nth-child(3) {
                    background-color: yellow;
                    flex-grow: 1; //new
                    }

                        Do you explicitly NEED to use column display for this section? If not, this is easy to achieve with flex-wrap: wrap on the parent section and then setting a percentage width: 100% to the last child element. You also have to remove flex-direction: column from the parent.



                        Here's an updated example for you which produces the desired result.

                                I changed your flex-direction to a flex-wrap and set the 3rd div to 100% width. Hope this helps :)
