Responsive

<div class="w-24 min-w-full md:min-w-0 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Min-width scale

Customize Tailwind's default min-width scale in the theme.minWidth section of your tailwind.config.js file.

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    theme: {
      minWidth: {
+       '0': '0',
+       '1/4': '25%',
+       '1/2': '50%',
+       '3/4': '75%',
+       'full': '100%',
      }
    }
  }

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for min-width utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the min-width utilities by modifying the minWidth 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: {
        // ...
+       minWidth: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

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

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