Layout Recipe
Center a Div Instantly with Tailwind Flexbox
To center an element perfectly inside a parent container using Tailwind CSS, combine 'flex' with 'justify-center' (horizontal alignment) and 'items-center' (vertical alignment). Ensure the parent container has a defined height (like 'h-screen' or 'min-h-full') so vertical centering is visible.
The playground below is pre-configured with this exact layout — tweak any control to explore, then copy the Tailwind or vanilla CSS from the exporter.
