How to align objects vertically when working with grids in CSS ?

Last Updated : 07 Jan, 2020

CSS grid layout is one of the strongest layout of CSS. The grid layout is 2-D which means it can handle both rows and columns, unlike flexbox which is 1-D. To align objects apply CSS to the parent element which becomes the grid container and the element's child which becomes the items in the grid. Approach: Use the align-content property of CSS grids to vertically align objects. Syntax:

align-content: center;

Example 1:

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <style>
        .gfg {
            display: grid;
            /* display is set to grid layout */
            height: 400px;
            align-content: center;
            /* vertically aligns objects to the center */
            grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;
            grid-gap: 10px;
            background-color: #4dd599;
            /* background colour is set */
            padding: 10px;
        }
        
        .gfg > div {
            background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
            text-align: center;
            /* text inside the container is set to center */
            padding: 20px 0;
            font-size: 30px;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>

    <div class="gfg">
        <div>Welcome</div>
        <div>to</div>
        <div>Geeks</div>
        <div>for</div>
        <div>Geeks</div>
        <div>Start</div>
    </div>

</body>
