Flex-box: Align last row to grid


I have a simple flex-box layout with a container like:

.grid {
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: row wrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

Now I want the items in the last row to be aligned with the other. justify-content: space-between; should be used because the width and height of the grid can be adjusted.

Currently it looks like

The item in the bottom right should be in the middle

Here, I want the item in the bottom right to be in the "middle column". What is the simplest way to accomplish that? Here is a small jsfiddle that shows this behaviour.

.exposegrid {
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: row wrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.exposetab {
  width: 100px;
  height: 66px;
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
  border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}
<div class="exposegrid">
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
  <div class="exposetab"></div>
</div>


Solution

  • Add a ::after which autofills the space. No need to pollute your HTML. Here is a codepen showing it: http://codepen.io/DanAndreasson/pen/ZQXLXj

    .grid {
      display: flex;
      flex-flow: row wrap;
      justify-content: space-between;
    }
    
    .grid::after {
      content: "";
      flex: auto;
    }
