Vertically align text within input field of fixed-height without display: table or padding?

Question

The line-height property usually takes care of vertical alignment, but not with inputs. Is there a way to automatically center text without playing around with padding?

Answer 1

I was just working on this within MaterialUI's text inputs. Adding padding-top: 0.5rem to the input style worked for me. While this was adjusting the padding, at least you don't need to worry about adjusting for updates, much less different breakpoints.
