Utilities for controlling how an individual flex or grid item is positioned along its container's cross axis.
<div class="flex items-stretch ...">
<div>1</div>
<div class="self-auto ...">2</div>
<div>3</div>
</div>
Use self-start
to align an item to the start of the container's cross axis, despite the container's align-items
value:
<div class="flex items-stretch ...">
<div>1</div>
<div class="self-start ...">2</div>
<div>3</div>
</div>
Use self-center
to align an item along the center of the container's cross axis, despite the container's align-items
value:
<div class="flex items-stretch ...">
<div>1</div>
<div class="self-center ...">2</div>
<div>3</div>
</div>
Use self-end
to align an item to the end of the container's cross axis, despite the container's align-items
value:
<div class="flex items-stretch ...">
<div>1</div>
<div class="self-end ...">2</div>
<div>3</div>
</div>
Use self-stretch
to stretch an item to fill the container's cross axis, despite the container's align-items
value:
<div class="flex items-stretch ...">
<div>1</div>
<div class="self-stretch ...">2</div>
<div>3</div>
</div>
To control the alignment of a flex item at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use md:self-end
to apply the self-end
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
<div class="items-stretch ...">
<div class="self-auto md:self-end ...">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
</div>
For more information about Tailwind's responsive design features, check out the Responsive Design documentation.
By default, only responsive variants are generated for align-self utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the align-self utilities by modifying the alignSelf
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
variants: {
extend: {
// ...
+ alignSelf: ['hover', 'focus'],
}
}
}
If you don't plan to use the align-self utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the alignSelf
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
corePlugins: {
// ...
+ alignSelf: false,
}
}
