Centering a Bootstrap Grid on Your Page: A Comprehensive Guide

If you've ever attempted to center a Bootstrap grid vertically and found yourself stuck, you're not alone! Many developers encounter this issue, especially when they want a visually appealing layout that also maintains functionality. In this post, we'll walk through the steps needed to center a Bootstrap grid vertically on your page effectively.

Understanding the Problem

The challenge often arises when you have a Bootstrap grid that is already horizontally centered, but you want the entire grid to be located in the center of the viewport both vertically and horizontally. This is particularly helpful when you're designing interfaces that require balanced aesthetics, such as dashboards, game boards, or any user interactive designs.

The Current Setup

For example, consider this basic HTML structure:

With this structure, while the grid is horizontally centered thanks to the Bootstrap justify-content-center class, it lacks vertical centering.

The Solution: Using Flexbox

To center your Bootstrap grid vertically, we can leverage the power of Flexbox by adjusting the CSS belonging to the .board class. Here's how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Add Flexbox Properties:

You'll want to modify the .board class in your CSS to apply Flexbox. Adding the following lines will help you achieve vertical centering:

Explanation of the Code

display: flex;: This property turns the element into a flex container, which allows its children to utilize flex properties.

flex-direction: column;: This stacks the child elements vertically instead of horizontally.

justify-content: center;: This centers the children elements along the vertical axis, which is crucial for achieving that desired vertical alignment.

Final Implementation

After you integrate the above CSS into your stylesheet, your HTML structure will retain its integrity, but the grid will now be perfectly centered both horizontally (thanks to Bootstrap) and vertically (courtesy of the updates to your CSS).
