Positioning two divs side by side using CSS

Question

I've mocked up my problem using codepen, but each of the elements within are React components so I don't want to reduce them. I'm struggling to display my progress-container on an equal level, but to the left of the input-wrapper (input).

Codepen: https://codepen.io/simoncunningham/pen/mdwMgyL

<div class="progress-container"></div>
<div class="input-wrapper">
  <div class="input">I have my first input here</input>
</div>

.progress-container {
  height: 22px;
  width: 22px;
  margin-right: 16px;
  background-color: red;
  display: flex;
}

.input-wrapper {
  border: 1px solid #ced4da;
  border-radius: 2px;
  overflow-y: hidden;
  padding: 0.375rem 1.75rem 0.375rem 0.75rem;
}

Answer 1

You can wrap the 2 div's in another div with a class of wrapperDiv:

<div class="wrapperDiv">
  <div class="progress-container"></div>
  <div class="input-wrapper">
    <div class="input">I have my first input here</input>
  </div>
</div>

Then you can define the wrapperDiv class as follows which will make them side by side:

.wrapperDiv {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
}

These css properties represent flexbox layout, in case you want to read more about it.
