Vertical align inside CSS grid


I would like to have a giant progressbar which is vertically aligned inside a CSS grid.

The problem is, vertical alignment inside CSS grid is not working for me. I tried on Firefox, and also on Chrome.

I tried vertical-align: middle, but it is not working. I have put a Flexbox inside the grid item, but still it is not working.

Here is my minimal example:

.wrapper {
  display: grid;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: red;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
  grid-template-rows: repeat(4, 1fr);
  grid-gap: 10px;
  width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
}

.one {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: blue;
  grid-column: 1 / 3;
  grid-row: 1 / 2;
}

.two {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: yellow;
  grid-column: 1 / 3;
  grid-row: 2 / 4;
}

.three {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: violet;
  grid-column: 1;
  grid-row: 4 / 5;
}

.four {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: aqua;
  grid-column: 2;
  grid-row: 4 / 5;
}

progress {
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #f3f3f3;
  border: 0;
  height: 2em;
}
<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="one">One</div>
  <div class="two">
    <div class="vertical">
      <progress max="100" value="80">
            <div class="progress-bar">
              <span style="width: 80%;">Progress: 80%</span>
            </div>
          </progress>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="three"> Three</div>
  <div class="four">Four</div>
</div>

How do I align the progressbar vertically (inside its grid item) of the above demo project?


Solution

  • For the Flexbox solution, you have to add display:flex and align-items: center to .two, so the CSS becomes like this:

    .two {
        border-style: solid;
        border-color: yellow;
        grid-column: 1 / 3;
        grid-row: 2 / 4;
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
    }
    

    Then add flex: 1 to .vertical:

    .vertical {
        flex: 1
    }
    

    Here is the full code:

    .wrapper {
      display: grid;
      border-style: solid;
      border-color: red;
      grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
      grid-template-rows: repeat(4, 1fr);
      grid-gap: 10px;
      /* width: 100vw; not needed */
      height: 100vh;
    }
    
    .one {
      border-style: solid;
      border-color: blue;
      grid-column: 1 / 3;
      grid-row: 1 / 2;
    }
    
    .two {
      border-style: solid;
      border-color: yellow;
      grid-column: 1 / 3;
      grid-row: 2 / 4;
      display: flex;
      align-items: center;
    }
    
    .vertical {
      flex: 1;
    }
    
    .three {
      border-style: solid;
      border-color: violet;
      grid-column: 1;
      grid-row: 4 / 5;
    }
    
    .four {
      border-style: solid;
      border-color: aqua;
      grid-column: 2;
      grid-row: 4 / 5;
    }
    
    progress {
      width: 100%;
      background-color: #f3f3f3;
      border: 0;
      height: 2em;
    }
    <div class="wrapper">
      <div class="one">One</div>
      <div class="two">
        <div class="vertical">
          <progress max="100" value="80">
            <div class="progress-bar">
              <span style="width: 80%;">Progress: 80%</span>
            </div>
          </progress>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="three"> Three</div>
      <div class="four">Four</div>
    </div>
