CSS place-self Property

Description

The place-self property aligns the grid layout element inside the cell along the column axis and along the row axis of the grid-container. It is a shorthand property for align-self and justify-self properties. The place-self property overrides the alignment value of the specific element specified for the grid container with the align-items, justify-items property, or the universal place-items property. Currently, if the element is not a layout grid element (not located inside the parent element, which is a block element or a lower-case grid container), then the place-self property will not have any effect on such an element.
