Set Up the Project Structure

In this step, you will learn how to set up the project structure.

To get started, open the editor. You should see some files — index.html、style.css and images from your editor.

Click on Go Live button in the bottom right corner of WebIDE, to run the project.

Next, open "Web 8080" on the top of the VM and refresh it manually and you will see the page.

Style the Fruit Arrangement

In this step, you will learn how to use the align-self and order properties to style the fruit arrangement. Follow the steps below to complete this step:

Open the index.css file in your editor.
Target the .yellow class and set the align-self property to flex-end.
Set the order property of the .yellow class to 1.

Your index.css file should now look like this:

.yellow {
  align-self: flex-end;
  order: 1;
}

The align-self property is used to align the individual flex items along the cross axis, overriding the align-items value. In this case, we set it to flex-end to align the yellow fruit at the bottom of the bowl.

The order property is used to change the order of the flex items. We set it to 1 for the yellow fruit, which will place it at the end of the flex container.

The finished result is as follows:
