bootstrap 4: center inline form inside a jumbotron

Question

I have an inline form inside a jumbotron. I want to center it.

I tried using text-align:center on the jumbotron and it did center all the other element

Answer 1

Use the justify-content-center helper class on the form. That will center the contents with the flex property justify-content: center;

#home{
  background-image: url('../img/jumbotron-bkg-2.jpg');
  margin-top: 50px;
  text-align: center;
}
