+### Set Flex Items' `min-width` To 0
+
+A flex item (a child of an item with `display: flex`) might have its children overflowing from it. This could create unexpected behavior. For example, setting a child of a flex-item to truncate its text with an ellipsis (`white-space: nowrap`, `overflow: hidden`, and `text-overflow: ellipsis`) will not work.
+
+This is due to flex items having a default minimum size, which prevents them from shrinking in the expected way.
+
+This can be solved by setting the `min-width` of flex items to 0:
+
+```html
+<div class="container">
+  <div class="child">
+    <div class="text">
+      Long text that should be truncated
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+```css
+.container {
+  display: flex;
+  width: 100px;
+}
+
+.child {
+  min-width: 0;
+}
+
+.text {
+  overflow: hidden;
+  text-overflow: ellipsis;
+  white-space: nowrap;
+}
+```
