@tailwindcss/container-queries

A plugin for Tailwind CSS v3.2+ that provides utilities for container queries.

Installation

Install the plugin from npm:

``sh
npm install -D @tailwindcss/container-queries
`

Then add the plugin to your tailwind.config.js file:

`js
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
// ...
},
plugins: [
require('@tailwindcss/container-queries'),
// ...
],
}
`

Usage

Start by marking an element as a container using the @container class, and then applying styles based on the size of that container using the container variants like @md:, @lg:, and @xl::

`html


By default we provide container sizes from @xs (20rem) to @7xl (80rem).

$3

You can optionally name containers using a @container/{name} class, and then include that name in the container variants using classes like @lg/{name}:underline:

`html


`html


To stop an element from acting as a container, use the @container-normal class.

$3

If you have configured Tailwind to use a prefix, make sure to prefix both the @container class and any classes where you are using a container query modifier:

`html


| Name | CSS |
| ------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| @sm | @container (min-width: 640px) |
| @md | @container (min-width: 780px) |
| @lg | @container (min-width: 1024px) |
| @xl | @container (min-width: 1280px) |
| @2xl | @container (min-width: 1536px) |
| @3xl | @container (min-width: 1920px) |
| @4xl | @container (min-width: 2560px) |

You can configure which values are available for this plugin under the containers key in your tailwind.config.js file:

`js
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
containers: {
'2xs': '1600px',
},
},
},
}
