      place-items

      CSS place-items is a shorthand property used in CSS Grid Layout to set both the align-items and justify-items properties in a single declaration. It allows you to align and justify grid items within the grid container along both the block (column) and inline (row) axes simultaneously
      This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
      • align-items
      • justify-items

      Possible Values

      • A single align-items value aligns in both the block and inline directions.
      • An align-items value sets the block direction alignment, followed by justify-items, which specifies inline alignment.

      Applies To

      All elements.
