Tailwind CSS Border Spacing

Border spacing is a property used to specify the space between the borders of adjacent table elements. In Tailwind CSS, this property can be easily applied using the border-spacing utility classes.

Syntax

The syntax for using the border-spacing utility classes in Tailwind CSS is as follows:

<table class="border-collapse border border-gray-400 border-spacing-4">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">Name</th>
      <th class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">Age</th>
      <th class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">Gender</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">John</td>
      <td class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">30</td>
      <td class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">Male</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">Jane</td>
      <td class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">25</td>
      <td class="border border-gray-400 py-2 px-4">Female</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

In the above example, the border-spacing utility class is added to the table element with a value of 4, which sets the spacing between the borders of the adjacent table elements to 4px.
