Flexbox Centering

index.html and style.css have already been provided in the VM.

To center a child element both horizontally and vertically within a parent element using flexbox, follow these steps:

  1. Create a flexbox layout by setting the parent element's display property to flex.
  2. Use the justify-content property to center the child horizontally by setting its value to center.
  3. Use the align-items property to center the child vertically by setting its value to center.
  4. Add the child element within the parent element.

Here's an example code snippet:

<div class="flexbox-centering">
  <div>Centered content.</div>
</div>
.flexbox-centering {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100px;
}
