Bootstrap 5 - How to set carousel captions positions

Question

I have a Bootstrap 5 carousel with captions. Is it possible to add any class to the div containing the carousel-item or the carousel-caption to put the captions in the centre of the slide? Or I still need to use CSS as in older versions (below)? I tried align-middle and similar classes but without success.

Eg. Old solution from Fiddle:

.carousel-caption {
    top: 0;
    bottom: auto;
}

Answer 1

Can't really find a good combination of just using utility class to achieve what you want, but able to find a minimum way where still need to define a manual class :

.carousel-caption {
  transform: translateY(50%);
}

and then add bottom-50 to carousel-caption. Since so it could rather just write

.carousel-caption {
  transform: translateY(50%);
  bottom: 50% !important;
}

LOL :)

#carouselExampleCaptions {
  width: 600px;
  height: 400px;
}

.carousel-caption {
  transform: translateY(50%);
}
