Use place-self-start
to align an item to the start on both axes:
<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-2 ...">
<div class="place-self-start ...">2</div>
<div>3</div>
<div>4</div>
<div>5</div>
<div>6</div>
</div>
Center
Use place-self-center
to align an item at the center on both axes:
Use place-self-end
to align an item to the end on both axes:
<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-2 ...">
<div class="place-self-end ...">2</div>
<div>3</div>
<div>4</div>
<div>6</div>
</div>
Stretch
Use place-self-stretch
to stretch an item on both axes:
To place an item at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing place-self
utility. For example, use md:place-self-end
to apply the place-self-end
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
<div class="place-self-start md:place-self-end">
<!-- ... -->
Customizing
By default, only responsive variants are generated for place-self utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the place-self utilities by modifying the placeSelf
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:
Disabling
If you don’t plan to use the place-self utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the placeSelf
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
corePlugins: {
// ...
+ placeSelf: false,
}
