How can I pass div height from JavaScript to CSS?

Question

I want to set the position to a div depending on its own height which can be different depending on the content.

This is the structure:

HTML

<div class="wrapper">
Content
</div>

CSS:

:root {
  --height: x;
}

.wrappper {
height: auto;
top: calc(100vh - var(--height));
}

.clientHeight gives you height of the object. I'm just assigning that to the CSS variable.

 let div = document.querySelector(".wrapper")
        var height = document.querySelector(':root');
        height.style.setProperty('--height', div.clientHeight + "px");

:root {
        --height: x;
    }

    .wrapper {
        outline: 1px solid red;
        height: auto;
        position: relative;
        top: calc(100vh - var(--height));
    }

<div class="wrapper">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur, adipisicing elit. Voluptatibus, officiis! Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
