Usage
Auto
Use .overflow-auto
to add scrollbars to an element in the event that its content overflows the bounds of that element.
<p class="overflow-auto bg-gray-200 h-8">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent et dolor sapien. Nunc lobortis dui risus, sed placerat nulla eleifend sit amet. Nam lacinia diam in erat faucibus aliquet. Sed ac ultrices elit. Curabitur suscipit faucibus nunc, vel convallis nunc elementum vel. Donec eleifend venenatis pretium. Praesent tempor mi sit amet ullamcorper dapibus.</p>
Unlike .overflow-scroll
, which always show scrollbars, this utility will only show them if scrolling is necessary.
Use .overflow-x-auto
to allow horizontal scrolling if needed.
Use .overflow-y-auto
to allow vertical scrolling if needed.
Hidden
Use .overflow-hidden
to clip any content within an element that overflows the bounds of that element.
<p class="overflow-hidden bg-gray-200 h-8">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent et dolor sapien. Nunc lobortis dui risus, sed placerat nulla eleifend sit amet. Nam lacinia diam in erat faucibus aliquet. Sed ac ultrices elit. Curabitur suscipit faucibus nunc, vel convallis nunc elementum vel. Donec eleifend venenatis pretium. Praesent tempor mi sit amet ullamcorper dapibus.</p>
Use .overflow-x-hidden
to hide overflow content of a block-level element when it overflows at the left and right edges.
Use .overflow-y-hidden
to hide overflow content of a block-level element when it overflows at the top and bottom edges.
Visible
Use .overflow-visible
show overflow content of a block-level element.
<p class="overflow-visible bg-gray-200 h-8">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent et dolor sapien. Nunc lobortis dui risus, sed placerat nulla eleifend sit amet. Nam lacinia diam in erat faucibus aliquet. Sed ac ultrices elit. Curabitur suscipit faucibus nunc, vel convallis nunc elementum vel. Donec eleifend venenatis pretium. Praesent tempor mi sit amet ullamcorper dapibus.</p>
Use .overflow-x-visible
to show overflow content of a block-level element when it overflows at the left and right edges.
Use .overflow-y-visible
to show overflow content of a block-level element when it overflows at the top and bottom edges.
Scroll
Use .overflow-scroll
to add scrollbars to an element. Unlike .overflow-auto
, which only shows scrollbars if they are necessary, this utility always shows them. Note that some operating systems hide unnecessary scrollbars regardless of this setting.
<p class="overflow-scroll bg-gray-200 h-8">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent et dolor sapien. Nunc lobortis dui risus, sed placerat nulla eleifend sit amet. Nam lacinia diam in erat faucibus aliquet. Sed ac ultrices elit. Curabitur suscipit faucibus nunc, vel convallis nunc elementum vel. Donec eleifend venenatis pretium. Praesent tempor mi sit amet ullamcorper dapibus.</p>
Use .overflow-x-scroll
to allow horizontal scrolling and always show scrollbars unless always-visible scrollbars are disabled by the operating system.
Use .overflow-y-scroll
to allow vertical scrolling and always show scrollbars unless always-visible scrollbars are disabled by the operating system.
Variants
By default, only responsive variants are generated for overflow utilities.
Responsive
To control the display behavior of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing display utility.
For example, use .md:overflow-hidden
to apply the overflow-hidden
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
Hover-state
To include hover-state variants like .hover:overflow-hidden
, add "overflow"
to the $hover-variants
variable when recompiling your CSS:
$hover-variants: (
// ...
"overflow",
);
