I want to align my button to the right of the parent.
I was wondering if there is a proper way to do it in material-ui
. I could use a <Grid container justify="flex-end">
but then I would have to use another <Grid item />
. Seems too much of work.
Or maybe I am just better off using plain old CSS, messing around with float: right
and dealing with the apparent zero height of the element.
Try this
<Grid container alignItems="flex-start" justify="flex-end" direction="row">
<Button variant="contained">Add account</Button>
</Grid>
If you do not want to use the Grid component, you have to rely on CSS.
But if you use Material-UI you should use JSS (CSS-IN-JS) and not plain CSS.

In CSS you may use any of these solutions for example. "text-align" being the simplest one.
text-align: right
float: right
- flexbox
- parent with :
display: flex
- child with :
align-content: flex-end
Material UI's Grid Component has helper props to achieve this.
<Grid align-items-xs-center justify-xs-flex-end>
<Button>Click me</Button>
</Grid>
