How to vertically center a text in a column (boots

Question

How to vertically center a text in a column (bootstrap 4)? The structure is basic, see:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <span>Text to center</span>
    </div
</div>

Ty guys!

Answer 1

You can add the my-auto class to the parent <div class="col-md-6"> to achieve this. This class sets automatic margins on the y-axis, see the link above for more details.

It would look like this:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-6 my-auto">
      <span>Text to center</span>
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6">
      <h1>Hello</h1>
      <h1>Hello</h1>
      <h1>Hello</h1>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

You might be tempted to use vertical alignment utilities but these will only work on inline, inline-block, inline-table, and table cell elements.

Answer 2

Another option is to use the flexbox utilities..

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-6 align-self-center">
            <span>Text to center</span>
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <p>
            ..
            </p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
