How to Center a Card Div Inside a Grid Layout

Creating a visually appealing web layout can sometimes lead to frustrating issues, especially when it comes to centering elements. One common problem is having a card div that isn't aligned correctly within its grid layout. If you've ever faced this challenge, you're not alone! In this post, we'll explore how to effectively center a card div inside a grid layout using HTML and SCSS.

Identifying the Problem

You might be attempting to create a two-column layout where you want the right column to showcase a card along with chevron icons on either side. If the card appears misaligned or doesn't fit well within the designated space, this can stem from CSS properties that inadvertently push it outside its container.

Sample Markup

Here’s what your HTML might look like:

Analyzing the Solution

1. Understanding Component Heights and Margins

One key reason your card might not appear centered is due to its height being set to 100% of its parent column, combined with the margins you've added. This setup effectively causes your card to overflow its container.

To rectify this, you can utilize the calc() function in your CSS. For example:

Here, you are accounting for the total margin (50px on top and bottom), ensuring the card fits perfectly.

2. Centering Vertically

Next, to ensure that all elements within the right column are centered vertically, you will want to add:

This property will align your items along the vertical axis, making your layout look clean and organized.

3. Centering Horizontally

Finally, to center your card horizontally, include this property within your card’s styles:
