points
In this article, we would like to show you how in CSS center an element horizontally using flexbox when elements are ordered in the row direction (by default flex uses flex-direction: row; so we don't need to add it).
Quick solution:
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}

Practical example
In this example, we're using a flexbox with the justify-content property to horizontally center the item inside the flex container with flex-direction: row;.
