This class accepts a lot of values in tailwind CSS. It is the alternative to the CSS Align Items property. This class is used to set the alignment of items inside the flexible container or in the given window. It aligns the flex Items across the axis. The align-self class is used to override the align-items class.
Align Items Classes:
- items-start
- items-end
- items-center
- items-baseline
- items-stretch
items-start: Items will be positioned to the beginning of the container.
Syntax:
<element class="items-start">...</element>

HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
< head >
< link href =
rel = "stylesheet" >

< body class = "text-center" >
