Position

A collection of utility classes to position content.

Usage

To apply this component, add one of the .uk-position-* classes to a block element. When using this component to place content on top of an image, add the .uk-inline class from the Utility component to a container element around the image and the element to create a position context.

Note This is often used to position an overlay from the Overlay component.

Class	Description
`.uk-position-top`	Positions the element at the top.
`.uk-position-left`	Positions the element at the left.
`.uk-position-right`	Positions the element at the right.
`.uk-position-bottom`	Positions the element at the bottom.

<div class="uk-inline">
  <!-- Place any content, like an image, here -->

  <div class="uk-position-center"></div>
</div>

You can also apply more specific positions that won’t spread over one side of the parent container by adding one of the following classes.

Class	Description
`.uk-position-center-horizontal`	Positions the element at the center from top to bottom.
`.uk-position-center-vertical`	Positions the element at the center from left to right.

<div class="uk-position-center-horizontal"></div>

<div class="uk-inline">

  <div class="uk-position-center-horizontal uk-overlay uk-overlay-default">
    Horizontal
  </div>
  <div class="uk-position-center-vertical uk-overlay uk-overlay-default">
    Vertical
  </div>
</div>

Cover

If you want a position element to cover its container, just add the .uk-position-cover class.

<div class="uk-position-cover"></div>

Cover

<div class="uk-inline">
  <img src="/images/photo.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" alt="" />

  <div
    class="uk-flex uk-flex-center uk-flex-middle uk-overlay uk-overlay-default uk-position-cover"
  >
    Cover
  </div>
</div>

Outside

There are two classes to center elements outside on the left and right of the parent container. This is useful to position the Slidenav component outside of a Slideshow or Slider component.

Class	Description
`.uk-position-center-left-out`	Positions the element vertically centered outside on the left.
`.uk-position-center-right-out`	Positions the element vertically centered outside on the right.

Note Once the outside positioned element sticks out of the viewport to the right, it will cause a horizontal scrollbar. Use the Visibility component to hide the outside positioned element on a smaller viewports and show an inside positioned element instead.

<div class="uk-position-center-left-out"></div>
