Start

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

Place Items - 图1

  1. <div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 place-items-start ...">
  2. <div>01</div>
  3. <div>02</div>

  5. <div>04</div>
  6. <div>05</div>
  7. <div>06</div>
  8. </div>

End

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

Place Items - 图2

  1. <div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 place-items-end h-56 ...">
  2. <div>01</div>
  3. <div>02</div>
  4. <div>03</div>
  5. <div>04</div>
  6. <div>05</div>
  7. <div>06</div>

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

  1. <div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 place-items-center h-56 ...">
  2. <div>01</div>

  4. <div>03</div>
  5. <div>04</div>
  6. <div>05</div>
  7. <div>06</div>
  8. </div>

Stretch

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

Place Items - 图4

  1. <div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 place-items-stretch h-56 ...">
  2. <div>01</div>
  3. <div>02</div>
  4. <div>03</div>
  5. <div>04</div>
  6. <div>05</div>
  7. <div>06</div>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:place-items-center to only apply the place-items-center utility on hover.

  1. <div class="place-items-start hover:place-items-center">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:place-items-center to apply the place-items-center utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

  1. <div class="place-items-start md:place-items-center">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>
