How do i align multiple elements in mat-card-content angular css html-CodePudding

i am trying to right-align and center the button vertically within the mat-card-content, but it is not working properly and if i try to add more divs or change my html it looks even worse or does not align properly. My title should be left-aligned and also vertically centered as it is right now.

(I used ugly background-colors to understand what it does whenever I change something)

<div>
  <div *ngFor ="let recipe of cookbook">
    <mat-card >
      <mat-card-content > {{recipe.title}}
        <button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu" >
          <mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
        </button>
        <mat-menu #menu="matMenu">
          <button mat-menu-item>
            <span>Edit</span>
          </button>
          <button mat-menu-item>
            <span>Delete</span>
          </button>
        </mat-menu>
        </mat-card-content>
    </mat-card>
  </div>
</div>

.recipe {
width : 400px;
height: fit-content;
background-color: #d4d4d4;
padding: 15px;
margin: 15px;
border-radius:4px;
}

.more {
right:-20%;
background-color: red;
}

.title{
  background-color: green;
  text-align: left;
}

The only thing I tried that somewhat worked how i wanted was using right: for my .more button in my css but it is not consistent depending on how long my title is or at some point exceeds the mat-card

Any other ideas on how I could fix this?

CodePudding user response：

You can do what you are trying to do with flex

Try something like this

I also made a quick Stackblitz too https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-mvecpg
