Centering in CSS Grid

Closed 4 years ago.
I have a CSS Grid below and I would like the content(letters for now) to be vertically aligned within the cells. What's the best way to accomplish this? vertical-align:middle on the cells doesn't seem to do anything, align-items:center; on the grid container worked, but then the heights were all different.
body {
margin: 40px;
}
.wrapper {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 10px;
grid-template-columns: [col] 100px [col] 100px [col] 100px;
grid-template-rows: [row] auto [row] auto [row] ;
background-color: #fff;
color: #444;
}
.box {
background-color:#444;
color:#fff;
padding:20px;
font-size:150%;
}
.a {
grid-column: col / span 2;
grid-row: row 1 / 3;
}
.b {
grid-column: col 3 / span 1;
grid-row: row ;
}
.c {
grid-column: col 3 / span 1;
grid-row: row 2 ;
}
.d {
grid-column: col / span 1;
grid-row: row 3;
}
.e {
grid-column: col 2 / span 1;
grid-row: row 3;
}
.f {
grid-column: col 3 / span 1;
grid-row: row 3;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="box a">A</div>
<div class="box b">B</div>
<div class="box c">C</div>
<div class="box d">D</div>
<div class="box e">E</div>
<div class="box f">F</div>
</div>

If you just want them vertically centered you can add display:flex; and align-items: center; to the box class:
body {
margin: 40px;
}
.wrapper {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 10px;
grid-template-columns: [col] 100px [col] 100px [col] 100px;
grid-template-rows: [row] auto [row] auto [row];
background-color: #fff;
color: #444;
}
.box {
background-color: #444;
color: #fff;
padding: 20px;
font-size: 150%;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.a {
grid-column: col / span 2;
grid-row: row 1 / 3;
}
.b {
grid-column: col 3 / span 1;
grid-row: row;
}
.c {
grid-column: col 3 / span 1;
grid-row: row 2;
}
.d {
grid-column: col / span 1;
grid-row: row 3;
}
.e {
grid-column: col 2 / span 1;
grid-row: row 3;
}
.f {
grid-column: col 3 / span 1;
grid-row: row 3;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="box a">A</div>
<div class="box b">B</div>
<div class="box c">C</div>
<div class="box d">D</div>
<div class="box e">E</div>
<div class="box f">F</div>
</div>
