Examples


Start

Use the justify-items-start utility to justify grid items against the start of their inline axis:

01

02

03

04

05

06

<div class="grid justify-items-start ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div>  <div>04</div>  <div>05</div>  <div>06</div></div>

End

Use the justify-items-end or justify-items-end-safe utilities to justify grid items against the end of their inline axis:

Resize the container to see the alignment behavior

justify-items-end

01

02

03

justify-items-end-safe

01

02

03

justify-items-end

<div class="grid grid-flow-col justify-items-end ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

justify-items-end-safe

<div class="grid grid-flow-col justify-items-end-safe ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

When there is not enough space available, the justify-items-end-safe utility will align items to the start of the container instead of the end.

Center

Use the justify-items-center or justify-items-center-safe utilities to justify grid items against the end of their inline axis:

Resize the container to see the alignment behavior

justify-items-center

01

03

justify-items-center-safe

01

02

03

justify-items-center

<div class="grid grid-flow-col justify-items-center ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

justify-items-center-safe

<div class="grid grid-flow-col justify-items-center-safe ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

When there is not enough space available, the justify-items-center-safe utility will align items to the start of the container instead of the center.

Stretch

Use the justify-items-stretch utility to stretch items along their inline axis:

01

02

03

04

05

06

<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div>  <div>04</div>  <div>05</div>  <div>06</div></div>

Responsive design

Prefix a justify-items utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="grid justify-items-start md:justify-items-center ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation .
