Align Flex Items along Cross Axis using CSS3
We can easily align the flex items along cross axis, but first let us understand what cross axis is. The cross axis is perpendicular to the main axis. The main axis is like the flex direction −
Create a Container div
First, set the divs inside a container(flex container) −
<div class="container"> <div class="first">First Div</div> <div class="second">Second Div</div> <div class="third">Third Div</div> </div>
Style the Container and Make it Flexible
The flex container becomes flexible by setting the display property to flex. The flex items are aligned using the align-items property −
.container {
height: 200px;
display: flex;
width: 100%;
align-items: center;
border: 2px solid red;
}
Style the Flex Items
The individual flex items styled with different background colors −
.first {
background-color: rgb(55, 0, 255);
}
.second {
background-color: red;
}
.third {
background-color: rgb(140, 0, 255);
}
