How to vertically center align 3 divs at extreme left, extreme right and absolute centre in a wrapper div with dynamic dimensions?

Question

I am new to Svelte and I absolutely love it, while designing the top-navigation bar for my project, I couldn't achieve the desired result because of Svelte's JS DOM Styling methods. Would be great if you guide me on this.

The markup is as follows

 <div class="top-nav">
        <div class="width-restriction">
            <div id="hamburger-icon">
                <HamburgerIcon /> <!-- Imported component, essentially an icon, doesn't affect styling; needs to be at the extreme left -->
            </div>
            <h1 class="head" id="logo">VKYD</h1> <!-- Logo; needs to be centered -->
            <div id="shopping-cart-icon">
                <ShoppingCartIcon /> <!-- Imported component, essentially an icon, doesn't affect styling; needs to be at the extreme right -->
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

You can easily achieve this using flexbox on the .width-restriction :

 .width-restriction { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; }

 <div class="top-nav"> <div class="width-restriction"> <div id="hamburger-icon"> icon-hamburger <!-- Imported component, essentially an icon, doesn't affect styling; needs to be at the extreme left --> </div> <h1 class="head" id="logo">VKYD</h1> <!-- Logo; needs to be centered --> <div id="shopping-cart-icon"> icon-shop <!-- Imported component, essentially an icon, doesn't affect styling; needs to be at the extreme right --> </div> </div> </div>

In Svelte, you need to define the styles in a style tag just like that:

<style>
    .width-restriction {
        display: flex;
        justify-content: space-between;
        align-items: center;
    }
</style>

 <div class="top-nav">
     <div class="width-restriction">
         <div id="hamburger-icon">
             icon-hamburger <!-- Imported component, essentially an icon, doesn't affect styling; needs to be at the extreme left -->
         </div>
         <h1 class="head" id="logo">VKYD</h1> <!-- Logo; needs to be centered -->
         <div id="shopping-cart-icon">
             icon-shop <!-- Imported component, essentially an icon, doesn't affect styling; needs to be at the extreme right -->
         </div>
     </div>
</div>

I am not familiar with Svelte but usually, that type of placement can be achieved quite easily using

display: flex;
justify-content: space-between; 

You can check here for a quick demo of the property ( see bottom of the page): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/justify-content

Hope this can help you!
