Align Column Divs as Left, Center, Right with CSS Flex
To align items of a flex container along its main axis by distributing space around it, we use the justify-content property of CSS. The following are the values −
flex-start − The flex items are positioned at the start of the container. This is the Default value.
flex-end − The flex items are positioned at the end of the container
center − The flex items are positioned in the center of the container
space-between − The flex items will have space between them
space-around − The flex items will have space before, between, and after them
space-evenly − The flex items will have equal space around them
Syntax
The syntax of CSS justify-content property is as follows −
Selector {
display: flex;
justify-content: /*value*/
}
Flex Items Will Have Space Between Them
The CSS justify-content property with the property space-between will let the flex items have space between them. Let us see an example to flex items with a space between them.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#root {
margin: 5%;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
#one {
float:left;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 34px #b798e1;
}
#two {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 34px #236fa0;
}
#three {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 34px #43946a;
}
.element {
padding: 7%;
border-radius: 15%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="root">
<div class="element" id="one">1</div>
<div class="element" id="two">2</div>
<div class="element" id="three">3</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Flex Items Will Have Equal Space Between Them
The CSS justify-content property with the property space-evenly will let the flex items have equal space between them. Let us see an example −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#root {
margin: 5%;
padding: 2%;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-evenly;
box-shadow: inset 0 10px 40px magenta;
font-weight: bold;
}
div > div {
padding: 2%;
border-radius: 15%;
}
div:nth-of-type(even) {
box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 20px orange;
}
div > div:nth-of-type(odd) {
box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 20px lightblue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="root">
<div>1</div>
<div>2</div>
<div>3</div>
<div>4</div>
<div>5</div>
<div>6</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Flex Items are Positioned in the Center of the Container
The jusitify-content is set to center to align the flex items at the center of the container. In this example, we have used the CSS justify-content property with the property space-evenly to let one of the flex items to have equal space between them.
Example
Let us see the example to position flex items in the center of the container −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
.container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-evenly;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.container1 {
align-self: flex-start;
display: flex;
background-color: rgb(71, 30, 255);
width: 200px;
margin: 20px;
}
.container1 > div {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 30px;
}
.container2 {
display: flex;
background-color: rgb(14, 126, 79);
width: 200px;
justify-content: center;
align-self: flex-start;
margin: 20px;
}
.container2 > div {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 30px;
}
.container3 {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
background-color: rgb(168, 60, 10);
width: 200px;
align-items: center;
margin: 20px;
}
.container3 > div {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
width: 20px;
font-size: 30px;
}
</style>
</head>
