In the article, we will go into detail on how to use justify-items.
Justify Item
It is intended to take the place of the CSS justify-items attribute. This class is used to control how grid objects are aligned along their inline axis.
Format
justify-items-{alignment}
| Alignment | Tailwind Class | CSS Property |
|---|---|---|
| Auto | justify-items-auto |
justify-items: auto; |
| Start | justify-items-start |
justify-items: start; |
| End | justify-items-end |
justify-items: end; |
| Center | justify-items-center |
justify-items: center; |
| Stretch | justify-items-stretch |
justify-items: stretch; |
let's see each of this in action,
