Centering a Div with Tailwind CSS

To center a div both horizontally and vertically, you can use both Flexbox or grid. First, we must assign a height to the div, as a div's default height is zero.
Here's an example with grid:
<div class="grid place-items-center bg-gray-400 h-screen ">
<div>
Hello world!
</div>
</div>
In this example, grid
makes the container a grid container. Use place-items-center
to place grid items on the center of their grid areas on both axes.h-screen
makes the height of the container 100% of the viewport height (100vh).
Here's an example with flexbox:
<div class="flex justify-center items-center h-screen">
<div>
Your Content
</div>
</div>
In this example, flex
makes the container a flex container. justify-center
and items-center
center the child div along both the main axis and the cross axis. h-screen
makes the height of the container 100% of the viewport height (100vh).
