layoutalignEnd

The property `layout-align-end` is a CSS property used in the context of CSS Grid Layout to control the alignment of grid items along the end of their assigned grid area. It is part of the larger set of alignment utilities provided by CSS Grid, which allow developers to fine-tune the positioning of grid items within their grid containers.

The `layout-align-end` property specifies the alignment of a grid item along the end of its assigned grid area, effectively defining how the item is positioned relative to the opposite edge of the grid container. This property works in conjunction with `layout-align-start`, which aligns the item along the start edge of the grid area. When both properties are used, they define a baseline alignment for the grid item, similar to how `justify-content` works in flexbox.

The value of `layout-align-end` can be set to one of several keywords, including `start`, `end`, `center`, `flex-start`, `flex-end`, or `stretch`. For example, setting `layout-align-end: end` will push the grid item to the end of its assigned grid area, while `layout-align-end: center` will center the item along that axis. The `stretch` value will cause the grid item to expand to fill the available space in the grid area.

This property is particularly useful when working with multi-line or multi-column grids, where precise control over item alignment is necessary. It is important to note that `layout-align-end` only affects alignment along the block axis (vertical axis in left-to-right text contexts) of the grid item, while `layout-align-start` controls alignment along the inline axis (horizontal axis in left-to-right text contexts). For more complex alignment scenarios, developers may combine `layout-align-start` and `layout-align-end` with other CSS Grid properties like `justify-self` and `align-self`.

The `layout-align-end` property is part of the CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1 specification and is supported in modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. As with other CSS Grid properties, it can be overridden by the more general `justify-self` and `align-self` properties, which provide broader control over item alignment within the grid.
