Place Self

Overview

The place-self CSS shorthand property  allows you to align an individual item in both the block and inline directions at once (i.e. the align-self and justify-self properties) in a relevant layout system such as Grid or Flexbox. If the second value is not present, the first value is also used for it.

<div class="...">
    <div class="place-self:auto ...">1</div>
    <div class="...">2</div>
    <div class="...">3</div>
</div>

Basic usage

</div>

You can also use calc(expression), env(expression) and other CSS functions if the property supports it.
