This 'margin: auto' feature is also why Flexbox doesn't have a justify-self: end feature: margin-auto already takes care of that, although it would have been nice to have justify-self as well - simply for consistency.īy the way, I think CSS is the 'bottleneck' to most websites & web apps. Margin will then simply take up the space between the selected element and the other elements, pushing the selected element to the bottom.

Now let's say we want to align only 1 flex-item to the bottom. We now need to use justify-content for alignment along the vertical axis (justify-content is for horizontal alignment in the default situation): So we used align-items for the vertical axis, but now align-items will regulate the alignment along the horizontal axis. When you use flex-direction: column, the functionalities of align-items and justify-content flip. Now, let's say we want a different direction for our flex-items, so we use flex-direction: column. Flex-end still has better support, but since Flexbox and CSS Grid are being harmonized (their values are becoming the same to simplify things) the future will be end in both Flexbox and CSS Grid, so without the 'flex-' or 'grid-' prefix.

What if we just want 1 flex-item to be aligned at the bottom? Well, just select that flex-item and use align-self: Use align-content if you have multiple rows (flex-items wrapping onto new rows): How do we get all of these flex-items to align at the bottom? Well, just use align-items: This is the default behavior when you first set display: flex on an element: If you haven't mastered both of them yet, I highly recommend going through my CSS Course. When I add flex-wrap they align to the center and I can’t understand why.You need to master both Flexbox and CSS Grid in order to professionally build modern websites & web apps.

I have a container, 4 items with align-items to flex-end putting them at the bottom of the page. Hi, I’m getting quite confuse by the action of flex-wrap on align-items.
