Spinner Overlay Bootstrap 4 Card Body Only - Flex Alignment


Trying to vertically and horizontally align a spinner in a bootstrap 4 card body.

I have tried my-auto and justify-content-center & align-items-center, I am missing something.

I have checked by display types and I believe my displays of absolute are correct

I have also checked my positions and I believe I am using flex correctly.

My goal is to load the spinner on the body on any card vertically and horizontally.

What am I overlooking?

HTML:

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="card">
      <h5 class="card-header">Featured</h5>
      <div class="card-body justify-content-center align-items-center">
        <div id="overlay" onclick="off()">
          <div id="justify-content-center align-items-center">
            <div class="spinner"></div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <h5 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h5>
        <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="on()">Turn on overlay effect</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

CSS:

.spinner {
  height: 60px;
  width: 60px;
  margin: auto;
  display: flex;
  position: absolute;
  -webkit-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
  -moz-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
  -o-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
  animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
  border-left: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .15);
  border-right: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .15);
  border-bottom: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .15);
  border-top: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .8);
  border-radius: 100%;
}

@-webkit-keyframes rotation {
  from {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
  }
  to {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(359deg);
  }
}

@-moz-keyframes rotation {
  from {
    -moz-transform: rotate(0deg);
  }
  to {
    -moz-transform: rotate(359deg);
  }
}

@-o-keyframes rotation {
  from {
    -o-transform: rotate(0deg);
  }
  to {
    -o-transform: rotate(359deg);
  }
}

@keyframes rotation {
  from {
    transform: rotate(0deg);
  }
  to {
    transform: rotate(359deg);
  }
}

#overlay {
  position: absolute;
  display: none;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
  z-index: 2;
  cursor: pointer;
}

JS:

function on() {
  document.getElementById("overlay").style.display = "flex";
}

function off() {
  document.getElementById("overlay").style.display = "none";
}

Solution

  • Change <div id="justify-content-center align-items-center"> to

    <div class="w-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center">

    See it in action below:

    function on() {
      document.getElementById("overlay").style.display = "flex";
    }
    
    function off() {
      document.getElementById("overlay").style.display = "none";
    }
    .spinner {
      height: 60px;
      width: 60px;
      margin: auto;
      display: flex;
      position: absolute;
      -webkit-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
      -moz-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
      -o-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
      animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
      border-left: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .15);
      border-right: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .15);
      border-bottom: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .15);
      border-top: 6px solid rgba(0, 174, 239, .8);
      border-radius: 100%;
    }
    
    @-webkit-keyframes rotation {
      from {
        -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
      }
      to {
        -webkit-transform: rotate(359deg);
      }
    }
    
    @-moz-keyframes rotation {
      from {
        -moz-transform: rotate(0deg);
      }
      to {
        -moz-transform: rotate(359deg);
      }
    }
    
    @-o-keyframes rotation {
      from {
        -o-transform: rotate(0deg);
      }
      to {
        -o-transform: rotate(359deg);
      }
    }
    
    @keyframes rotation {
      from {
        transform: rotate(0deg);
      }
      to {
        transform: rotate(359deg);
