Grid Auto Flow

Utilities for controlling how elements in a grid are auto-placed.

Default class reference

Usage

Use the grid-flow-{keyword} utilities to control how the auto-placement algorithm works for a grid layout.

1. <div class="grid grid-flow-col grid-cols-3 grid-rows-3 gap-4">
2. <div>1</div>
3. <!-- ... -->
4. <div>9</div>
5. </div>

Responsive

To control the grid-auto-flow property at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing grid-auto-flow utility. For example, use md:grid-flow-col to apply the grid-flow-col utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

1. <div class="grid md:grid-flow-col ...">
2. <div>1</div>
3. <!-- ... -->
4. <div>9</div>
5. </div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for grid-auto-flow utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the grid-auto-flow utilities by modifying the gridAutoFlow 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. extend: {
5. // ...
6. +       gridAutoFlow: ['hover', 'focus'],
7. }
8. }
9. }

Disabling

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

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