Seen a few tutorials and doc now. Where its claimed,
all you need to do is the following to both horizontally and vertically align a div.
.grid {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
But is not true from what I see. It aligns horizontally but not vertically.
For it to align it vertically, you need to add height.
.grid {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
height: 500px;
}
But this is not being dynamic for it to always stay center for any height.
height: 100% doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong, or the docs / tutorials are incorrect?
Trying this on Edge browser if it matters.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<style>
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.grid {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
</style>
<body>
<article class="grid">
<div>
😀
</div>
</article>
</body>
</html>

The problem is that you haven't set height to the parent element.
You can use height: 100%;, but then you also need to set height to the parent element (i.e., <body> in your case).
See the snippet below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<style>
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
body {
height: 100vh;
}
.grid {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
height: 100%;
border: 5px solid red;
}
</style>
<body>
<article class="grid">
<div>
