html - how to make <main> 100% height in material ui drawer demo

Question

I have a Material UI drawer question. For my project I want to the the backround color of the main tag but the problem is that the main tag is only as tall as the content inside.

I can set the height to '100vh' which makes it the full screen size, but with that if I enter more data it doesnt fill the whole screen

Answer 1

Add this to your HTML file:

    html,
    body {
      min-height: 100vh;
      display: flex;
      flex: 1;
    }
    #root {
      display: flex;
      flex: 1;
    }

Codesandbox

Then add flex: 1 to your root on line 25 of demo.js

In short: your body needs to be 100vh, then you can flex whatever you need to.
