Submission shoutout for CENTERING

Key Takeaways

so y'all today we are going to be checking out a submission shout out except today's is a little bit of a different submission they didn't glitch or respond directly on twitter they made a whole blog post [Music] here's the article centering in css you can find it here csstrix.com kind of just goes over my article and calls out my winning solution which was gentle flex right for me this was the one that sort of just did what it was supposed to that solution always works really great for me and i like what he calls out here in the follow up which is say uh you're not always in these extreme situations maybe vertical centering isn't even the type of centering that you're looking for let's check out some alternatives essentially like just for fun like right let's look at another situation so this is inline elements let's say you want to just center some inline elements he's got a handy one liner here for you text line center and it works great right check it out over here we have a header it's so it's parent owned centering right so there'd be a pink border around this one and it's a one-liner text-align center and all the text that's inside there will be in the center pretty cool it also works on uh in-line elements like anchors so as long as the ch children that are inside of here uh are in line they'll be centered in line that's kind of cool i like this follow-up conversation here about fit content he solves uh well what if this nav needs to just shrink wrap its content you only want it to be as wide as its content and it should still be in the center like what do i need to do that well and he calls out you can use this one really cool uh width property called fit content in this demo you see that fit content changes the width of the element while it's still a block level element right if i duplicate this we still get another one underneath and that's because the nav its display mode has not been changed it is still a full width block right but now its width its painted size is going to be the max fit content and that's going to give you that effect right there where it's essentially in the center still in a block but it's painted spaces fit to the content it's a very cool uh solution and a way to think about it so anyway i love this response not everyone is centering in sort of scenarios like this and sometimes text align center is all you need i'm waiting for more responses show me how you center where's the display table example where's um you know vertical align middle where's uh show me there's so many other ways and i want to see the ways that you center sharing with everyone else so they all can know and i will talk to you later on the next episode see y'all bye you
