How to vertically and horizontally align HTML components within a Oracle JET page?

Many a times I face this requirement, mostly when building a Login page for an application, and I always wanted to make something reusable. That's the reason of me building and sharing this with all of you.

My end-goal was to build something like below:



Or in a form-layout with mobile resolution:



The web component is free to download from Github : https://github.com/sohamda/JET-Web-Components/tree/master/center-align

2. Once copied update your viewModel first.

 

3. Update view to load this layout component

Now comes the size part, you need to define that for each size of the screen, from hand-held mobile devices to large or extra large desktop screens. With combination with theses gr...
