`FlexAlignItems`.

This controls how an individual item is positioned perpendicular to the main axis within its
respective line.

#### Properties

<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
inline val Auto
```


Inherits the alignment from the container's `FlexBoxConfigScope.alignItems`. This is the
default value.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
inline val Start
```


The item is aligned toward the `cross-start` edge of its line.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
inline val End
```


The item is aligned toward the `cross-end` edge of its line.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
inline val Center
```


The item is centered along the cross axis within its line.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
inline val Stretch
```


The item is stretched to fill the cross axis size of its line.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
inline val Baseline
```


The item is aligned such that its baseline matches the baseline of other baseline-aligned
items in the line. Items without a baseline fall back to `Start` alignment.
