Tailwind Resize
In this article, we gain a deeper understanding of the Tailwind resize and its classes with examples.
The resize property in Tailwind CSS provides a simple and flexible way to control the resizing behavior of elements on your web page.
What is Tailwind Resize?
Tailwind Resize is a feature that allows you to specify how an element should behave when the user resizes the browser window or changes the device orientation.
It provides a set of responsive classes that you can use to control the size, position, and other properties of an element based on the viewport width.
It does not apply to inline elements or specific block elements where overflow is visible.
In traditional CSS, we achieve this by using the CSS resize property.
Resize classes:
| Classes | Overview |
| resize-none | By setting this value, users will not be able to resize an element. |
| resize-y | Using this class, the vertical resizing is enabled but horizontal resizing is disabled. |
| resize-x | This class enables horizontal resizing but disables vertical resizing for the element. |
| resize | It is possible to resize an element both horizontally and vertically using this class. |
Syntax
<element class="resize-none">...</element>
