| Class | Styles | | --- | --- | | justify-self-auto | justify-self: auto; | | justify-self-start | justify-self: start; | | justify-self-center | justify-self: center; | | justify-self-center-safe | justify-self: safe center; | | justify-self-end | justify-self: end; | | justify-self-end-safe | justify-self: safe end; | | justify-self-stretch | justify-self: stretch; |

Examples


Auto

Use the justify-self-auto utility to align an item based on the value of the grid's justify-items property:

01

02

03

04

05

06

<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">  <!-- ... -->  <div class="justify-self-auto ...">02</div>  <!-- ... --></div>

Start

Use the justify-self-start utility to align a grid item to the start of its inline axis:

01

02

03

04

05

06

<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">  <!-- ... -->  <div class="justify-self-start ...">02</div>  <!-- ... --></div>

Center

Use the justify-self-center or justify-self-center-safe utilities to align a grid item along the center of its inline axis:

Resize the container to see the alignment behavior

justify-self-center

01

02

03

justify-self-center-safe

01

02

03

justify-self-center

<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">  <!-- ... -->  <div class="justify-self-center ...">02</div>  <!-- ... --></div>

justify-self-center-safe

<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">  <!-- ... -->  <div class="justify-self-center-safe ...">02</div>  <!-- ... --></div>

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

End

Use the justify-self-end or justify-self-end-safe utilities to align a grid item to the end of its inline axis:

Resize the container to see the alignment behavior

justify-self-end

01

02

03

justify-self-end-safe

01

02

03

justify-self-end

<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">  <!-- ... -->  <div class="justify-self-end ...">02</div>  <!-- ... --></div>

justify-self-end-safe

<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">  <!-- ... -->  <div class="justify-self-end-safe ...">02</div>  <!-- ... --></div>

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

Stretch

Use the justify-self-stretch utility to stretch a grid item to fill the grid area on its inline axis:

01

02

03

04

05

06

<div class="grid justify-items-start ...">  <!-- ... -->  <div class="justify-self-stretch ...">02</div>  <!-- ... --></div>

Responsive design

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

<div class="justify-self-start md:justify-self-end ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation .
