@tailwindcss/container-queries

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

Installation

Install the plugin from npm:

npm install @tailwindcss/container-queries

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

// 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::

<div class="@container">
  <div class="@lg:underline">
    <!-- This text will be underlined when the container is larger than `32rem` -->
  </div>
</div>

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

Named containers

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:

<div class="@container/main">
  <!-- ... -->
  <div class="@lg/main:underline">
    <!-- This text will be underlined when the "main" container is larger than `32rem` -->
  </div>
</div>

Arbitrary container sizes

In addition to using one of the container sizes provided by default, you can also create one-off sizes using any arbitrary value:

<div class="@container">
  <div class="@[17.5rem]:underline">
    <!-- This text will be underlined when the container is larger than `17.5rem` -->
  </div>
</div>

Removing a container

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

With a prefix

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:

<div class="tw-@container">
  <!-- ... -->
  <div class="@lg:tw-underline">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
</div>

Configuration

By default we ship with the following configured values:

Name CSS
@xs @container (min-width: 20rem /* 320px */)
@sm @container (min-width: 24rem /* 384px */)
@md @container (min-width: 28rem /* 448px */)
@lg @container (min-width: 32rem /* 512px */)
@xl @container (min-width: 36rem /* 576px */)
@2xl @container (min-width: 42rem /* 672px */)
@3xl @container (min-width: 48rem /* 768px */)
@4xl @container (min-width: 56rem /* 896px */)
@5xl @container (min-width: 64rem /* 1024px */)
@6xl @container (min-width: 72rem /* 1152px */)
@7xl @container (min-width: 80rem /* 1280px */)

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

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      containers: {
        '2xs': '16rem',
      },
    },
  },
}
