Flex Wrap

Utilities for controlling how flex items wrap.

Class reference

Don’t wrap

Use .flex-no-wrap to prevent flex items from wrapping, causing inflexible items to overflow the container if necessary:

1. <div class="flex flex-no-wrap bg-gray-200">
2. <div class="w-2/5 flex-none p-2">
3. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">1</div>
4. </div>
5. <div class="w-2/5 flex-none p-2">
6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-2/5 flex-none p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. </div>

Wrap normally

Use .flex-wrap to allow flex items to wrap:

1. <div class="flex flex-wrap bg-gray-200">
2. <div class="w-2/5 p-2">
3. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">1</div>
4. </div>
5. <div class="w-2/5 p-2">
6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-2/5 p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. </div>

Wrap reversed

Use .flex-wrap-reverse to wrap flex items in the reverse direction:

1. <div class="flex flex-wrap-reverse bg-gray-200">
2. <div class="w-2/5 p-2">
3. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">1</div>
4. </div>
5. <div class="w-2/5 p-2">
6. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">2</div>
7. </div>
8. <div class="w-2/5 p-2">
9. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 p-2">3</div>
10. </div>
11. </div>

Responsive

To control how flex items wrap at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use md:flex-wrap-reverse to apply the flex-wrap-reverse utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Customizing

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for flex-wrap utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the flex-wrap utilities by modifying the flexWrap property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. variants: {
4. // ...
5. -     flexWrap: ['responsive'],
6. +     flexWrap: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
7. }
8. }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the flex-wrap utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the flexWrap property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. corePlugins: {
4. // ...
5. +     flexWrap: false,
6. }
7. }
