Syntax
align-items: flex-start | flex-end | center | baseline | stretch
Values
- flex-startElements are located at the beginning of the container line. For layout grid elements (grid elements) the abbreviated start value is allowed, for flex elements it is necessary to use the full flex-start value.
- flex-endElements are located at the end of the container line. For layout grid elements (grid elements), the abbreviated end value is allowed; for flex elements, the full flex-end value must be used.
- centerElements are located in the center of the row of the container (middle of the transverse axis, or the axis of the column).
- baselineElements are located on their baseline.
- stretchFlex elements are stretched to fit the container along the transverse axis, layout grid elements are stretched along the column. This is the default value.
