Usage of CSS align-content property center value
The CSS align-content property with the center value is used to center flex lines in a flex container. This property only works when the flex container has multiple lines created by flex-wrap: wrap.
Syntax
.container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
align-content: center;
}
Example
The following example demonstrates how to center flex lines within a flex container −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.mycontainer {
display: flex;
height: 300px;
width: 400px;
background-color: lightcoral;
align-content: center;
flex-wrap: wrap;
border: 2px solid #333;
}
.mycontainer > div {
background-color: yellow;
text-align: center;
line-height: 60px;
font-size: 20px;
width: 100px;
height: 60px;
margin: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Flex Lines Centered</h3>

<div>Item 1</div>
<div>Item 2</div>
<div>Item 3</div>
<div>Item 4</div>
<div>Item 5</div>
