Aligning Content Along the Vertical Axis in CSS Grid

To align content along the vertical axis of the grid, we use the align-content property, which is set on the parent element.

At the beginning of the axis

Let's set the alignment for our grid items to the start of the vertical axis:

html<div id="parent">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
</div>

css#parent {
  display: grid;
  align-content: start;
  grid-template-columns: 100px 100px;
  grid-gap: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 2px solid #696989;
  height: 200px;
  width: 400px;
}
#parent > div {
  grid-gap: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
}

Результат:

At the center of the axis

Now let's set the alignment of the elements to the center of the vertical axis:

html<div id="parent">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
</div>

css#parent {
  display: grid;
  align-content: center;
  grid-template-columns: 100px 100px;
  grid-gap: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 2px solid #696989;
  height: 200px;
  width: 400px;
}
#parent > div {
  grid-gap: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
}

Результат:

At the end of the axis

Let's set the alignment of elements to the end of the vertical axis:

html<div id="parent">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
</div>

css#parent {
  display: grid;
  align-content: end;
  grid-template-columns: 100px 100px;
  grid-gap: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 2px solid #696989;
  height: 200px;
  width: 400px;
}
#parent > div {
  grid-gap: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border: 1px solid #696989;
}
