I'm building a laravel/tailwind dashboard but I'm now facing an issue with the overflow of an element.
The design I want to achieve is the follwing :
And what i achieved until now is the following:
With this code structure :
<body>
<div id="app" class="max-h-screen flex flex-col">
<nav class="bg-white border-gray-200 flex flex-wrap h-fit justify-between shadow items-center p-0 m-0">
</nav>
<div class="flex max-h-full grid grid-cols-8">
<aside class="h-full flex col-span-1" aria-label="Sidebar" id="sidebar">
</aside>
<div class="w-full bg-gray-100 p-5 col-span-7 flex-1 m-0">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
The issue
I would like to have only the body as scrollable ans keep the sidebar and the navbar in the same fixed position they are at any time.
Unfortunately, when i add the overflow-y-auto class to the div where the body is, the overflow is applied to the whole window breaking the design.
Do you have any suggestion on how i can make only the body scrollable with the above code base?
Thank you
Method 1: using fixed classes
Idea : make the nav and aside elements fixed
<body>
<div id="app" class="h-screen flex flex-col">
<nav class="bg-white border-gray-200 flex flex-wrap h-fit justify-between shadow items-center p-0 m-0 w-full fixed top-0 left-0 z-10">
</nav>
<aside class="h-screen fixed top-0 left-0 w-60 flex col-span-1" aria-label="Sidebar" id="sidebar">
</aside>
<div class="w-4/5 ml-auto bg-gray-100 p-5 col-span-7 flex-1 overflow-y">
</div>
</div>
</body>
Method 2: using sticky class
<body>
<div id="app" class="max-h-screen flex flex-col">
<nav class="bg-white border-gray-200 flex flex-wrap h-fit justify-between shadow items-center p-0 m-0 w-full fixed top-0 left-0 z-10">
</nav>
<div class="flex max-h-full grid grid-cols-8 relative h-screen overflow-hidden">
<aside class="h-screen flex col-span-1 sticky top-0" aria-label="Sidebar" id="sidebar">
</aside>
<div class="w-full overflow-auto bg-gray-100 p-5 col-span-7 flex-1 m-0">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
You might have to experiment with the div widths as I am just roughly eyeballing the values with w-4/5 and w-60 classes.

Why am I not getting a vertical scrollbar in each div? If I use max-h-screen instead of max-h-full I'm getting the scrollbar but the problem is that - because of the navbar - the content at the bottom of the screen is clipped by exactly the height of the navbar.
Playground
<div class="h-screen overflow-hidden">
<div class="flex flex-col">
<div class="h-12">Navbar </div>
<main class="flex flex-row">
<div class=" w-1/5 flex h-full max-h-full overflow-y-auto flex-col flex-grow bg-purple-50">Lorem... </div>
<div class=" w-4/5 bg-gray-50 h-full max-h-full overflow-y-auto">Lorem... </div>
</main>
</div>
You need to carry the height: 100% onto the second nested div, and your main. Otherwise the height becomes auto and grows to accommodate your content, so on tailwind that looks like it's h-full you'll need to put on both of those:
<div class="h-screen overflow-hidden">
<div class="flex flex-col h-full">
<div class="h-12">Navbar </div>
<main class="flex flex-row h-full">
<div class=" w-1/5 flex h-full max-h-full overflow-y-auto flex-col flex-grow bg-purple-50">Lorem... </div>
<div class=" w-4/5 bg-gray-50 h-full max-h-full overflow-y-auto">Lorem... </div>
</main>
</div>
I have a basic page layout as follows. I would like to center the four items in the middle of the page, not only horizontally, but vertically. Centering horizontally works but vertically doesn't. According to the tailwind doc, entering can be acheived using the place-content-center class. However, this doesn't seem to work here. Any ideas about how to do this?

<div class="flex flex-col h-screen">
<header class="h-10 bg-red-500">Header</header>
<div class="flex-grow place-content-center bg-green-500">
<h1>Content</h1>
<div class="grid place-items-center justify-center">
<div class = "grid gap-6 md:grid-cols-2 content-center">
<div class="h-[200px] w-[300px] bg-yellow-500 flex flex-col items-center">
Item 1
</div>
<div class="h-[200px] w-[300px] bg-yellow-500 flex flex-col items-center">
Item 2
</div>
<div class="h-[200px] w-[300px] bg-yellow-500 flex flex-col items-center">
Item 3
</div>
<div class="h-[200px] w-[300px] bg-yellow-500 flex flex-col items-center">
Item 4
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<footer class=" w-full h-10 bg-blue-500">Footer</footer>
</div>
It appears that you just need to add the h-full class to your content wrapper:
<div class="grid h-full place-items-center justify-center">
You can see a working example here: https://play.tailwindcss.com/U5NB6t6heB
I have a dashboard layout with a sidebar on the left, I would like some content right of the sidebar in a grid layout with 3 items
So far I have the dashboard

I tried a lot of things, most of them ended up with the dashboard covering up the images, now my images are always in the same column as the dashboard instead of centering in the middle liek they should.
See the image for a clearer picture
I created a demo for you.
<div class="flex">
<div class="flex w-60 bg-gray-200 h-96"></div>
<div class="flex flex-1 bg-blue-50">
<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
<div class="col-span-1 bg-blue-200 w-48"></div>
<div class="col-span-1 bg-blue-200 w-48"></div>
<div class="col-span-1 bg-blue-200 w-48"></div>
<div class="col-span-1 bg-blue-200 w-48"></div>

Also, I recommend going through YouTube videos from Andre Madarang. He has some great content on Tailwind.
Similar to Digvjay, I put a demo together.
I used a fair bit of your original markup if that makes it easier to follow.
<div class="flex mt-8">
<!-- sidebar -->
<div class="flex flex-col w-60 dark:bg-gray-900">
<div class="flex items-center justify-center ">
<div class="flex items-center">
<span class="text-2xl font-semibold text-gray-800 dark:text-white">Dashboard</span>
</div>
</div>
<nav class="flex flex-col px-4 mt-10 text-center">

<!-- the items i want to put in a 3 grid layout !-->
<div class="p-4 grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 bg-gray-50 w-full">
<div class="bg-red-500 w-full"></div>
<div class="bg-red-500 w-full"></div>
<div class="bg-red-500 w-full"></div>

I am using tailwind in my Vuejs app. I have this simple template
<template>
<div class="bg-gray-500 h-screen">
<Header /><!-- //height 32 -->
<div class="w-2/3 mx-auto p-4 text-lg bg-white h-full shadow-lg">
<router-view />
</div>
</div>
</template>
The div with h-screen is the root or my app. The component<header> has a tailwind height of h-32
The problem is that the second div causes the page to scroll at the bottom, the height of the <header> (h-32).
What I want to do
If there is no content, I want the second div to fill the remaining height of the screen but no more.
If there is content, I want it grow as necessary.
You can leverage .flex, .flex-col and .flex-1 for this. Check out docs.
<div class="bg-gray-500 flex flex-col h-screen">
<div class="flex h-32 bg-gray-200"></div>
<div class="flex-1 w-2/3 mx-auto p-4 text-lg bg-white h-full shadow-lg bg-gray-300">
<router-view />
</div>
</div>
Usage of flex-1 is optimal for your solution to expand a certain component in the parent:
Use flex-1 to allow a flex item to grow and shrink as needed, ignoring its initial size:
Vertically
<div class="flex h-screen flex-col">
<div class="h-50 bg-cyan-400 text-center text-4xl">Header</div>
<div class="flex-1 bg-yellow-400 text-center text-4xl">I am the body</div>
</div>
Output:
Horizontally
<div class="flex w-screen ">
<div class="h-50 bg-cyan-400 text-center text-4xl">NavBar</div>
<div class="flex-1 bg-yellow-400 text-center text-4xl">I am the body</div>
</div>
Output:

I have successfully centered on the secondary axis (left-right) with class items-center. Reading the documentation, I tried align-middle but it does not work. I have confirmed the divs have full height and my-auto.
I'm using this version of Tailwind: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss/dist/tailwind.min.css
Here is a JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/7xnghf1m/2/
You can also do
<div class="flex h-screen">
<div class="m-auto">
<h3>title</h3>
<button>button</button>
</div>
</div>
Partly referencing #mythicalcoder 's solution but using only the necessary classes provided by TailwindCss (Version 1.8.+):
flex : To use a flex-div as container
h-screen : To size the container-height to the viewport height.
justify-center : To justify center (horizontal center) - main axis - Doc
items-center : To align the items to center (horizontal center) - cross axis - Doc
My Solution to center two text lines:
<link href="https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss#^1.0/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="flex h-screen justify-center items-center">
<div class="text-center bg-blue-400"> <!-- ⬅️ THIS DIV WILL BE CENTERED -->
<h1 class="text-3xl">HEADING</h1>
<p class="text-xl">Sub text</p>
</div>
</div>
Justify-Center and Items-Center
While Anders' answer solves the problem for this particular case, I think it's important to note that using justify-center and items-center is circumstantial.
Let's have a look at one of the examples from the tailwind documentation.
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="flex justify-center bg-gray-100">
<div class="text-gray-800 text-center bg-gray-300 px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
<div class="text-gray-800 text-center bg-gray-300 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
<div class="text-gray-800 text-center bg-gray-300 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>
As we can see the above code centers the elements horizontally. The reason for this is because the justify-center class centers the element on the flex container's main axis.
This means that if we were to change the main axis to 'column' then we would get a different result.
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="flex flex-col justify-center bg-gray-100">
<div class="text-gray-800 text-center bg-gray-300 px-4 py-2 m-2">1</div>
<div class="text-gray-800 text-center bg-gray-300 px-4 py-2 m-2">2</div>
<div class="text-gray-800 text-center bg-gray-300 px-4 py-2 m-2">3</div>
</div>
Justify-Center and Items-Center centers the elements on the main axis and the cross axis, and they can be used in place of each other. They are the opposites of each other and will produce different results depending on what the current main axis is.
According to the question, the "Items1", "Items2" should be both horizontally and vertically aligned.
Horizontal => text-center/justify-center
Vertical => items-center
Here is a sample code for producing a view similar to the ASCII image in the question.
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="relative h-32 bg-blue-400">
<div class="absolute inset-0 flex items-center justify-center">
Item 1
<br>
Item 2
</div>
</div>
I have tried to summarize different occurances of centering the divs
Center divs in Column
For fit width
<div class="bg-yellow-400 flex flex-col h-screen justify-center items-center">
<div className="bg-green-500 p-2">item 1</div>
<div className="bg-pink-500 p-2">item 2</div>
</div>
For full width
<div class="bg-yellow-400 flex flex-col h-screen justify-center items-center">
<div className="bg-green-500 p-2 w-full flex justify-center">
item 1
</div>
<div className="bg-pink-500 p-2 w-full text-center">item 2</div>
</div>
Extra:
Center vertically split divs
<div class="flex h-screen flex-col">
<div class="flex flex-1 items-center justify-center bg-green-500 p-2 text-4xl">
<div class="bg-yellow-400 p-6">Item 1</div>
</div>
<div class="flex flex-1 items-center justify-center bg-pink-500 p-2 text-4xl"><div class="bg-amber-400 p-6">Item 2</div></div>
</div>
Center horizontally split divs
<div class="flex h-screen">
<div class="flex flex-1 items-center justify-center bg-green-500 p-2 text-4xl">
<div class="bg-yellow-400 p-6">Item 1</div>
</div>
<div class="flex flex-1 items-center justify-center bg-pink-500 p-2 text-4xl"><div class="bg-amber-400 p-6">Item 2</div></div>
</div>
Center divs in Row
For fit height
<div>
<div class="flex h-screen items-center justify-center bg-yellow-400">
<div class="flex justify-center bg-green-500 p-2">item 1</div>
<div class="bg-pink-500 p-2 text-center">item 2</div>
</div>
</div>
For full height
<div>
<div class="flex h-screen items-center justify-center bg-yellow-400">
<div class="flex h-full items-center bg-green-500 p-2">item 1</div>
<div class="flex h-full items-center bg-pink-500 p-2">item 2</div>
</div>
</div>
#bastiotutuama's answer is already good, however if there are other surrounding items then use align self utilities instead of items-center. source

<div class="bg-blue-500 flex justify-center h-screen">
<div class="bg-red-300 self-start">

You have another choice which is grid and can do
<div class="grid justify-items-center items-center h-screen">
<div>
<h3>title</h3>
<button>button</button>
</div>
</div>
Navigation using React
<nav className="flex gap-8 items-center justify-center">
<Link className=''>SHOP</Link>
<Link className=''>BACKPACK</Link>
</nav>
For vertical center in Tailwind Grid
use class name:
self-center
<div class="self-center">
you can do
<div class="flex justify-center items-center flex-col">
<p>Item 1</p>
<p>Item 2</p>
</div>
However, this approach requires flexbox.
I did it this way and it works.
<div class="grid grid-cols-3 h-screen">
<div class="bg-red-400 col-span-3 sm:col-span-1 flex">
<div class="bg-blue-300 m-auto">
<h1>hello</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-span-3 bg-red-50 sm:col-span-2"></div>
See image
Use class justify-center to align on the main axis. align-middle operates on the cross axis.
