Tailwind CSS Width

The width classes in Tailwind CSS are used to set the width of an element. These classes are very useful when it comes to creating responsive layouts.

Syntax

The syntax for using the width classes in Tailwind CSS is as follows:

<div class="w-{size}"></div>

Here, {size} can be full, screen, auto, 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, 4/12, 5/12, 6/12, 7/12, 8/12, 9/12, 10/12, 11/12, or {size} in pixels.

Example

Let's take a look at an example of using the width class in Tailwind CSS:

<div class="w-full bg-gray-200 p-4">
  Full width container
</div>

<div class="w-screen bg-gray-300 p-4">
  Full screen container
</div>

<div class="w-auto bg-gray-400 p-4">
  Automatic width container
</div>

<div class="w-1/2 bg-gray-500 p-4">
  Half width container
</div>

<div class="w-1/4 bg-gray-600 p-4">
  One quarter width container
</div>

<div class="w-2/3 bg-gray-700 p-4">
  Two thirds width container
</div>

<div class="w-4/6 bg-gray-800 p-4">
  Two thirds width container
</div>

<div class="w-96 bg-gray-900 p-4">
  96px width container
</div>

Output

The above example will produce the following output:

Explanation

In the above example, we have used various width classes to set the width of the container elements. We have used the w-full class to set the width of the first container to full width. Similarly, we have used the w-screen class to set the width of the second container to full screen. The w-auto class has been used to set the width of the third container to automatic width.

We have also used the w-1/2 class to set the width of the fourth container to half width, the w-1/4 class to set the width of the fifth container to one-quarter width, the w-2/3 class to set the width of the sixth container to two-thirds width, and the w-4/6 class to set the width of the seventh container to four-sixths width.

Finally, we have used the w-96 class to set the width of the eighth container to 96 pixels.
