html css carousel vertical-alignment flickity

Vertically center a carousel inside a section

I have a really basic Flickity carousel with some images. My problem is it reamins on the top of the page and I want to center the whole carousel vertically inside my section. My section height is equal to my device's height, so its basically a fullscreen. I tried so many things but I dont know how to solve it. I tried to apply display:flex; and align-items:center; trick on my section but then it destroys the whole carousel...

My code:

**style.css** ```
/* external css: flickity.css */

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

#section-b {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
  background: #0b1320;
  text-align: center;
  color: white;
  min-height: 100vh;
}

.carousel {
  background: #0b1320;
}

.carousel-cell {
  width: 70%;
  height: 200px;
  /* flex-box, center image in cell */
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-box-pack: center;
  -webkit-justify-content: center;
  justify-content: center;
  -webkit-align-items: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.carousel-cell img {
  display: block;
  max-width: 100%;
  max-height: 100%;
  /* dim unselected */
  opacity: 0.7;
  -webkit-transform: scale(0.85);
  transform: scale(0.85);
  -webkit-filter: blur(5px);
  filter: blur(5px);
  -webkit-transition: opacity 0.3s, -webkit-transform 0.3s, transform 0.3s, -webkit-filter 0.3s, filter 0.3s;
  transition: opacity 0.3s, transform 0.3s, filter 0.3s;
}


/* brighten selected image */

.carousel-cell.is-selected img {
  opacity: 1;
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
  transform: scale(1);
  -webkit-filter: none;
  filter: none;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
  .carousel-cell {
    height: 400px;
  }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 960px) {
  .carousel-cell {
    width: 60%;
  }
}


/* buttons, no circle */

.flickity-prev-next-button {
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
  background: transparent;
  opacity: 0.6;
}

.flickity-prev-next-button:hover {
  background: transparent;
  opacity: 1;
}


/* arrow color */

.flickity-prev-next-button .arrow {
  fill: white;
}

.flickity-prev-next-button.no-svg {
  color: white;
}


/* closer to edge */

.flickity-prev-next-button.previous {
  left: 0;
}

.flickity-prev-next-button.next {
  right: 0;
}


/* hide disabled button */

.flickity-prev-next-button:disabled {
  display: none;
}

Solution

Your section block is aligned properly, while div.carousel is not.

I've solved the problem, using additional wrapper element - div.center-wrap. Also style was changed:

.carousel {
  background: #0b1320;
  width: 100%;
}
div.center-wrap {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  min-height: 100vh;
}

**style.css** ```
/* external css: flickity.css */

  box-sizing: border-box;

}

.carousel {

}

div.center-wrap {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
