Getting Started with Tailwind Table Layout
In this article, we will explore the Tailwind Table Layout and how it can be used to create responsive and dynamic tables.
Tables are an essential part of web development, allowing us to present data in a clear and organized manner. However, designing a table layout can be challenging, especially if you want to make it look good and responsive on different devices.
Using the table layout class in Tailwind, we can set the display of the table layout in order to control the appearance of the table.
Tailwind Table Layout Classes
Let’s take a closer look at the table layout classes available in Tailwind:
| Classes | Overview |
| table-auto | The table-auto class can be applied to a table element to automatically adjust the width of the table and its cells based on the content. |
| table-fixed | The table-fixed Tailwind CSS class applies a fixed layout to a table element. |
