How to justify content in a flex container
If the items do not fill the whole space available to them, you can use the CSS justify-content property to align them along the horizontal axis of the flex or grid container:
Example
div {
/* For Safari browsers */
display: -webkit-flex;
-webkit-justify-content: flex-end;
/* Standard */
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-end;
}Tip: to accomplish the same task on the vertical axis, use align-content.
