    The last property that can be applied to the flex container is the Align content property. The Property aligns the line of content along with the cross axis this is sort of a mix of justify-content and align-items. It distributes additional space but along the cross axis.

    Note: Before we start the container must contain height and width then only this property is applied also the flex-wrap: wrap property must also applied to the flex container.

    Stretch – align content default value

    style.css
    
.container {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap:wrap
    height: 160px;
    width:300px;
}
.align-content-stretch {
  align-content: stretch;
}

    and the html will be:

    index.html
    
<div class="container align-content-stretch"> ...
</div>

    After this what we will get to display is:
    Align Content - stretch

    Flex Start

    So the second value we can specify is flex-start. This pulls the line to the beginning of the cross axis.

    style.css
    
.align-content-start {
  align-content: flex-start;
}

    and the html will be:

    index.html
    
<div class="container align-content-start"> ...
</div>

    After this what we will get to display is:
    Align Content - flex-start

    Flex End

    Similar to flex-start we also have flex-end. Flex end pushes the item to the end of the cross axis.

    style.css
    
.align-content-end {
  align-content: flex-end;
}

    and the html will be:

    index.html
    
<div class="container align-content-end"> ...
</div>

    After this what we will get to display is:
    flex-end

    Center Align

    The another value is center which centers the content on the cross axis.

    style.css
    
.align-content-center {
  align-content: center;
}

    and the html will be:

    index.html
    
<div class="container align-content-center"> ...
</div>

    After this what we will get to display is:
    center

    Space Between

    The another value is Space Between which takes all the extra space and puts in between the line.

    style.css
    
.align-content-space-between {
  align-content: space-between;
}

    and the html will be:

    index.html
    
<div class="container align-content-space-between"> ...
</div>

    After this what we will get to display is:
    space-between

    Space Around

    The finally we also have Space Around which distributes the space around the line. so the center portion has twice the space as the edges.

    style.css
    
.align-content-space-around {
  align-content: space-around;
}

    and the html will be:

    index.html
    
<div class="container align-content-space-around"> ...
</div>

    After this what we will get to display is:
    space-around
