# align-items

> Sets `align-items`.

```ts
import { items } from "@sdxc/u/layout";
```

Sets `align-items`.

## Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

| Call | CSS |
| --- | --- |
| `u.items("center")` | `css({ alignItems: "center" })` |

## Examples

### Basic example

Use `items("center")` to align items along the center of the container's cross axis:

```tsx
<div mix={[flex(), gap(4), items("center"), is(80), bs(36), ...]}>
	<div mix={[bs(12), ...]}>01</div>
	<div mix={[bs(24), ...]}>02</div>
	<div mix={[bs(16), ...]}>03</div>
</div>
```

### Start and end

Use `items("start")` or `items("end")` to align items to the start or the end of the cross axis:

```tsx
<div mix={[...]}>
	<div mix={[flex(), gap(4), items("start"), is(64), bs(36), ...]}>
		<div mix={[bs(12), ...]}>01</div>
		<div mix={[bs(24), ...]}>02</div>
		<div mix={[bs(16), ...]}>03</div>
	</div>
	<div mix={[flex(), gap(4), items("end"), is(64), bs(36), ...]}>
		<div mix={[bs(12), ...]}>01</div>
		<div mix={[bs(24), ...]}>02</div>
		<div mix={[bs(16), ...]}>03</div>
	</div>
</div>
```

### Stretch

Use `items("stretch")` to stretch items to fill the container's cross axis:

```tsx
<div mix={[flex(), gap(4), items("stretch"), is(80), bs(36), ...]}>
	<div mix={[...]}>01</div>
	<div mix={[...]}>02</div>
	<div mix={[...]}>03</div>
</div>
```

### Baseline

Use `items("baseline")` to align items so the first lines of their text share a baseline:

```tsx
<div mix={[flex(), gap(4), items("baseline"), is(80), ...]}>
	<div mix={[p(2, 4), ...]}>01</div>
	<div mix={[p(8, 4), ...]}>02</div>
	<div mix={[p(5, 4), ...]}>03</div>
</div>
```

## Applying on a state

Wrap the call in a state utility to scope it to one selector.

```ts
u.hover(u.items("center"))
```

## Responsive design

Wrap the call in a container query to scope it to one width.

```ts
u.at("md", u.items("center"))
```

## Signature

```ts
u.items(value?: AlignItemsValue)
```
