  1. <div class="grid grid-flow-row-dense grid-cols-3 grid-rows-3 ...">
  2. <div class="col-span-2">01</div>
  3. <div class="col-span-2">02</div>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:grid-flow-row to only apply the grid-flow-row utility on hover.

  1. <div class="grid grid-flow-col hover:grid-flow-row">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:grid-flow-row to apply the grid-flow-row utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

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