What is justify-content in Bootstrap 4?

In Bootstrap 4, the justify-content utility class is used to align items according to the main axis inside the flex-box containers. Here are a few of its properties:

  • justify-content-start: Lists all items at the start of the flex-box container.

  • justify-content-end: Lists all items at the end of the flex-box container.

  • justify-content-between: Lists items in such a way that the first item appears at the beginning, the second item appears at the end, and the third or more items appear in the center of the flex-box container.

  • justify-content-center: Lists all items at the center of the flex-box container.

  • justify-content-around: Lists items in such a way that the first item appears at the beginning with some left margin, the second item appears at the end with some right margin, and the third or more items appear at the center of the flex-box container.
