Place Items

v1.8.0+

Utilities for controlling how items are justified and aligned at the same time.

Auto

Use to place grid items automatically in their grid areas:

Use place-items-start to place grid items on the start of their grid areas on both axis:

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 place-items-start bg-gray-200 h-48">
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">4</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">5</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">6</div>
</div>

End

Use place-items-end to place grid items on the end of their grid areas on both axis:

Use place-items-center to place grid items on the center of their grid areas on both axis:

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 place-items-center bg-gray-200 h-48">
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">4</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">6</div>
</div>

Stretch

Use place-items-stretch to stretch items along their grid areas on both axis:

To place items at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing place-items utility. For example, use md:place-items-center to apply the place-items-center utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="place-items-start md:place-items-center">
</div>

Customizing

By default, only responsive variants are generated for place-items utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the place-items utilities by modifying the placeItems property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

Disabling

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     placeItems: false,
