All know how much we suffer while centering a div😜. so I decided to share this tutorial. How to center a div using utility classes tailwind and bootstrap.

NB: this is not a comparison between tailwind and bootstrap.

Absolute

• tailwind

  <div class="absolute left-1/2 top-1/2 -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2"></div>
  </div>
  

• bootstrap

  <div class="position-relative">
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-50 translate-middle"></div>
  </div>
