Auto

Use justify-items-auto to justify grid items automatically on their inline axis:

2
3
4

6
<div class="grid justify-items-auto ...">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
</div>

Start

Use justify-items-start to justify grid items against the start of their inline axis:

1

3
4
5
6
<div class="grid justify-items-start ...">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
</div>

End

Use justify-items-end to justify grid items against the end of their inline axis:

1
2
3
4
5
6
<div class="grid justify-items-end ...">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
</div>

Center

Use justify-items-center to justify grid items along their inline axis:

1

6
<div class="grid justify-items-center ...">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
</div>

Stretch

Use justify-items-stretch to stretch items along their inline axis:

1
2
3
4
5
6
<div class="grid justify-items-stretch ...">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
</div>

Responsive

To justify flex items at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use md:justify-items-center to apply the justify-items-center utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="justify-items-start md:justify-items-center">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for justify-items utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the justify-items utilities by modifying the justifyItems 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: {
        // ...
+       justifyItems: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the justify-items utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the justifyItems property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     justifyItems: false,
    }
  }
