6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
12. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">4</div>
13. </div>
14. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
15. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">5</div>
16. </div>
17. </div>

Center

Use content-center to pack rows in a container in the center of the cross axis:

Align Content - 图2


1. <div class="flex content-center flex-wrap bg-gray-200 h-48">
2. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
3. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">1</div>
4. </div>
5. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
12. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">4</div>
13. </div>
14. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
15. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">5</div>
16. </div>
17. </div>

End

Use content-end to pack rows in a container against the end of the cross axis:

Align Content - 图3


1. <div class="flex content-end flex-wrap bg-gray-200 h-48">
2. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
3. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">1</div>
4. </div>
5. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
12. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">4</div>
13. </div>
14. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
15. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">5</div>
16. </div>
17. </div>

Space between

Use content-between to distribute rows in a container such that there is an equal amount of space between each line:

Align Content - 图4


1. <div class="flex content-between flex-wrap bg-gray-200 h-48">
2. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
3. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">1</div>
4. </div>
5. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
12. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">4</div>
13. </div>
14. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
15. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">5</div>
16. </div>
17. </div>

Space around

Use content-around to distribute rows in a container such that there is an equal amount of space around each line:

Align Content - 图5


1. <div class="flex content-around flex-wrap bg-gray-200 h-48">
2. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
3. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">1</div>
4. </div>
5. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
12. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">4</div>
13. </div>
14. <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
15. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">5</div>
16. </div>
17. </div>

Responsive

To control the alignment of flex content at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use md:content-around to apply the content-around utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Customizing

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for align-content utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the align-content utilities by modifying the alignContent property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

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


1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. variants: {
4. // ...
5. -     alignContent: ['responsive'],
6. +     alignContent: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
7. }
8. }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the align-content utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the alignContent property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:


1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. corePlugins: {
4. // ...
5. +     alignContent: false,
6. }
7. }
