Tailwind Pointer Events
In this article we are going to discuss Tailwind pointer events property and its classes with examples.
The pointer-events property controls how an element responds to mouse or touch events.
A pointer event can aid in the creation of an interactive and responsive web experience, especially when it comes to touch devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Pointer events include actions such as clicking, hovering, and dragging. These events are used to trigger actions and animations on web pages, making them more interactive and engaging.
Tailwind Pointer Events Classes
Tailwind CSS provides a set of classes that allow you to control the pointer events of an element.
The Tailwind pointer events utility classes include:
| Classes | Overview |
| pointer-events-none | An element that has a pointer-events value of none will not respond to any pointer events, such as clicks, taps, hover, or drag. Such elements are entirely unresponsive to user input. |
| pointer-events-auto | By default, the pointer-events property has a value of auto, which means that an element will respond to all pointer events, including clicks, taps, hover, and drag, in the usual way. |
Syntax
<element class="pointer-events-none">...</element>
or
<element class="pointer-events-auto">...</element>
