THE SITUATION:

I am making an app using Ionic framework. In one page i need to display an image. This image has to be horizontally centered.

ATTEMPT 1:

Following the documentation i have divided one row into three equal columns and put the image in the second one.

 <div class="row">
    <div class="col col-33"></div>
    <div class="col col-33">
        <img src="{{ data.logo }}" alt="">
    </div>
    <div class="col col-33"></div>
 </div>

But unfortunately the image is far to be centered. Tend to stay in the left half of the screen.

ATTEMPT 2:

Trying with some old css tricks.

<div style="margin: 0 auto;">
    <img src=" {{ data.logo }} " alt="" >
</div>

But again i am not getting the desired result.

THE QUESTION:

How can i center a div in Ionic framework?

You already found your answer but I would do something like that instead:

In your css:

.center {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    display: block;
}

And then just add this class to your image:

 <img src="{{ data.logo }}" class="center" alt="">

This way you don't need to adjust each image on its own and I find this very descriptive when you look at the HTML. Also, it is not restricted to a specific image size.
