/// @brief FlexboxConfig is a configuration structure that defines the layout
/// properties for a flexbox container.
//
/// It allows you to specify the direction of the flex items, whether they
/// should wrap, how they should be justified along the main axis, and how
/// they should be aligned along the cross axis.
/// It also includes properties for gaps between flex items in both the
/// main and cross axes.
/// This structure is used to configure the layout behavior of flexbox
/// containers in a terminal user interface.
///
