Vertical align inside CSS grid

Question

I would like to have a giant progressbar which is vertically aligned inside a CSS grid.

The problem is, vertical alignment inside CSS grid is not working for me. I tried on Firefox, and also on Chrome.

I tried vertical-align: middle, but it is not working. I have put a Flexbox inside the grid item, but still it is not working.

Here is my minimal example:

.wrapper {
  display: grid;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: red;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
  grid-template-rows: repeat(4, 1fr);
  grid-gap: 10px;
  width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
}

.one {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: blue;
  grid-column: 1 / 3;
  grid-row: 1 / 2;
}

.two {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: yellow;
  grid-column: 1 / 3;
  grid-row: 2 / 4;
}

.three {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: violet;
  grid-column: 1;
  grid-row: 4 / 5;
}

.four {
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: aqua;
  grid-column: 2;
  grid-row: 4 / 5;
}

progress {
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #f3f3f3;
  border: 0;
  height: 2em;
}

<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="one">One</div>
  <div class="two">
    <div class="vertical">
      <progress max="100" value="80">
            <div class="progress-bar">
              <span style="width: 80%;">Progress: 80%</span>
            </div>
          </progress>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="three"> Three</div>
  <div class="four">Four</div>
</div>

How do I align the progressbar vertically (inside its grid item) of the above demo project?

Answer 1

Do you always forget how to vertically-align elements within a div, using CSS Grid? Don't feel alone, because I do too and I always end up here. Essentially, these two properties can be applied to the div containing elements that need to be vertically-centered:

.some-class {
  display: grid;
  align-items: center;
}

Here is a JSFiddle example for anyone curious on how these properties work.
