  7. <div class="text-gray-700 text-center bg-gray-400 px-4 py-2 m-2">6</div>
  8. </div>

Responsive

To place items at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing place-items utility. For example, use md:place-items-center to apply the place-items-center utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

  1. <div class="place-items-start md:place-items-center">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>

Customizing

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for place-items utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the place-items utilities by modifying the placeItems 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. - placeItems: ['responsive'],
  6. + placeItems: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
  7. }
  8. }

Disabling

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

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