# Justify Content

<div class="text-xl text-slate-light">
    Utilities for controlling flex items are positioned along a container's main axis.
</div>

<div class="subnav">
    <a class="subnav-link" href="#responsive">Responsive</a>
</div>

### Start <span class="ml-2 font-semibold text-slate-light text-sm uppercase tracking-wide">Default</span>

Use `.justify-start` to justify items against the start of the flex container's main axis:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex justify-start bg-smoke-light">
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>
@endcomponent

### Center

Use `.justify-center` to justify items along the center of the flex container's main axis:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex justify-center bg-smoke-light">
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>
@endcomponent

### End

Use `.justify-end` to justify items against the end of the flex container's main axis:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex justify-end bg-smoke-light">
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>
@endcomponent


### Space between

Use `.justify-between` to justify items along the flex container's main axis such that there is an equal amount of space between each item:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex justify-between bg-smoke-light">
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>
@endcomponent

### Space around

Use `.justify-around` to justify items along the flex container's main axis such that there is an equal amount of space around each item:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex justify-around bg-smoke-light">
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
    <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>
@endcomponent

## Responsive

To justify flex items at a specific breakpoint, add a `{breakpoint}:` prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use `md:justify-between` to apply the `justify-between` utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
