Tailwind Container Queries 2D
A plugin for Tailwind CSS v3.2+ that provides utilities for container queries both for width and height values.
Installation
Install the plugin from npm:
npm install tailwind-container-queries-2d
Then add the plugin to your tailwind.config.js
file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
// ...
},
plugins: [
require('tailwind-container-queries-2d'),
// ...
],
}
Usage
Start by marking an element as a container using the @container
class. You can now apply styles based on the container’s width or height using the new @w-*
and @h-*
modifiers, in addition to the width-based container breakpoints like @md:
, @lg:
, and @xl:
.
Applying Width and Height Breakpoints
With this version, you can target styles based on either the width or height of the container. Use @w-*
for width-based breakpoints and @h-*
for height-based breakpoints. This allows for more granular control over responsive design.
Width-Based Breakpoints
For width-based styles, use the @w-
prefix:
<div class="@container">
<div class="@w-lg:text-black">
<!-- This text turns black when the container width is larger than `32rem` -->
</div>
</div>
Height-Based Breakpoints
For height-based styles, use the @h-
prefix:
<div class="@container">
<div class="@h-lg:text-black">
<!-- This text turns black when the container height is larger than `32rem` -->
</div>
</div>
By default we provide container sizes from @5xs
(4rem
) to @7xl
(80rem
).
Named containers
You can optionally name containers using the @container/{name}
class and use that name in container variants. With the new width- and height-based prefixes, you can specify named containers as well, such as @w-lg/{name}
and @h-lg/{name}
:
<div class="@container/main">
<!-- ... -->
<div class="@w-lg/main:text-red-500 @h-lg/main:bg-green-500">
<!-- This text turns red when the "main" container is wider than `32rem` -->
<!-- The background turns green when the "main" container is taller than `32rem` -->
</div>
</div>
Arbitrary container sizes
In addition to using one of the container sizes provided by default, you can also create one-off sizes using any arbitrary value for the container width or height:
<div class="@container">
<div class="@w-[20rem]:underline @h-[30rem]:bg-yellow-200">
<!-- This text is underlined when the container width exceeds `20rem` -->
<!-- The background is yellow when the container height exceeds `30rem` -->
</div>
</div>
Removing a container
To stop an element from acting as a container, use the @container-normal
class.
With a prefix
If you have configured Tailwind to use a prefix, make sure to prefix both the @container
class and any classes where you are using a container query modifier:
<div class="tw-@container">
<!-- ... -->
<div class="@w-lg:tw-underline">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
</div>
Configuration
By default we ship with the following configured values:
| Name | CSS |
| ------ |----------------------------------------------|
| @5xs
| @container (min-width: 4rem /* 64px */)
|
| @4xs
| @container (min-width: 8rem /* 128px */)
|
| @3xs
| @container (min-width: 12rem /* 192px */)
|
| @2xs
| @container (min-width: 16rem /* 256px */)
|
| @xs
| @container (min-width: 20rem /* 320px */)
|
| @sm
| @container (min-width: 24rem /* 384px */)
|
| @md
| @container (min-width: 28rem /* 448px */)
|
| @lg
| @container (min-width: 32rem /* 512px */)
|
| @xl
| @container (min-width: 36rem /* 576px */)
|
| @2xl
| @container (min-width: 42rem /* 672px */)
|
| @3xl
| @container (min-width: 48rem /* 768px */)
|

You can configure which values are available for this plugin under the containers
key in your tailwind.config.js
file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
containers: {
'8xl': '88rem',
},
},
},
}
