Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for resizing utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the resizing utilities by modifying the resize property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       resize: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the resizing utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the resize property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     resize: false,
    }
  }
