How do I center a div horizontally and vertically using Bootstrap 5 utility classes?

Answer

To center a div both horizontally and vertically in Bootstrap 5, you can use the utility classes `d-flex`, `justify-content-center`, and `align-items-center`. These classes work together to center the content within a flexbox container.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
        <div class="d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="height: 100vh;">
            <div class="p-3 bg-primary text-white">
                Centered Content
            </div>
        </div>
        <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Use `d-flex` to make the container a flexbox.
`justify-content-center` centers the content horizontally.
`align-items-center` centers the content vertically.
The `style="height: 100vh;"` ensures the container takes the full viewport height, allowing vertical centering.
