Flex Shrink

    Utilities for controlling how flex items shrink.

    Use to allow a flex item to shrink if needed:

    Don’t shrink

    Use shrink-0 to prevent a flex item from shrinking:

    1. <div class="flex ...">
    2.   <div class="flex-1 h-16 ...">
    3.     01
    4.   </div>
    5.   <div class="shrink-0 h-16 w-32 ...">
    6.     02
    7.   </div>
    8.     03
    9.   </div>
    10. </div>

    Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:shrink-0 to only apply the shrink-0 utility on hover.

    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:shrink-0 to apply the shrink-0 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

    1. <div class="shrink md:shrink-0">
    3. </div>

    To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, and other media query modifiers.

    Arbitrary values

    If you need to use a one-off flex-shrink value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

    1. <div class="shrink-[2]">
    2.   <!-- ... -->
