How do I center a div both vertically and horizontally using Tailwind?

Answer

To center a div both vertically and horizontally using Tailwind CSS, you can utilize the flexbox utilities. By setting the parent container to "flex" and using "justify-center" and "items-center", you can achieve the desired centering effect.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <div class="flex items-center justify-center h-screen">
      <div class="bg-blue-500 text-white p-4">
        Centered Content
      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

The "flex" class makes the parent a flex container.
"items-center" vertically centers the content.
"justify-center" horizontally centers the content.
"h-screen" sets the height of the parent to the full viewport height, ensuring vertical centering.
