Compelex Flex Box Layout
0
I am attempting to create a full screen app interface. There should be a scrolling area in the region named 'view-with-wisdebar'. The 'content' area should also scroll so the 'options' remain static.
I am approximating the flexible height using viewport units on one of the flex box descendants. The header should be static. The main should have a flexible height with scrolling area inside it. The footer should be static.
The problem is that the contents never matches the viewport height. The 'overflow auto' element is not used. I thought I had achieved this but then I added some more header height and footer went off the bottom!
As you can see I want the header and footer fixed to the top and bottom, and I want the middle section flexible. The middle section should contain aa fixed height navbar and a flexible view area.

If you want to put scrollbar only on content and option div (without any hardcore) you could do something like this. I didn't change your HTML, I worked only with CSS. They are all commented to a more simple understand. Hope it helps you.
* {
/* it is better if you use a normalize css (https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/) instead of these rules that I added only for this example */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
/* end */

display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
margin: 0; /* add this to remove the default scrollbar, you can remove this rule if it is not a problem for you */
height: 100vh;

.header {
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 0;

flex: 1 1 auto;
overflow-y: hidden; /* add this rule to use the last level overflow-y in content & options */

If you want to put scrollbar only on content and option div (without any hardcore) you could do something like this. I didn't change your HTML, I worked only with CSS. They are all commented to a more simple understand. Hope it helps you.
* {
/* it is better if you use a normalize css (https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/) instead of these rules that I added only for this example */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
/* end */
}
.wrapper,
.wrapper * {
margin: 2px;
padding: 2px;
background-color: rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.5) !important;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.wrapper {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
margin: 0; /* add this to remove the default scrollbar, you can remove this rule if it is not a problem for you */
height: 100vh;
}
.header {
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
main {
flex: 1 1 auto;
overflow-y: hidden; /* add this rule to use the last level overflow-y in content & options */
}
footer {
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
.view-controller {
display: flex; /* it is a flexbox in a flexbox in a flexbox... */
flex-direction: column;
}
.view-with-sidebar {

display: flex;
overflow-y: hidden; /* add this rule to use the last level overflow-y in content & options */
}
.sidebar {

}
.view {
display: flex; /* another flexbox in a flexbox... the game continues... */
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
.options {

I actually answered my post saying I fixed this however that is not true. I have hacked it using calc (viewport height - fixed height) jsfiddle.net/p47o5yfe/12
