Utilities for controlling whether the user can select text in an element.
<div class="select-none ...">
This text is not selectable
</div>
<div class="select-text ...">
This text is selectable
</div>
Use select-all
to automatically select all the text in an element when a user clicks.
<div class="select-all ...">
Click anywhere in this text to select it all
</div>
Use select-auto
to use the default browser behavior for selecting text. Useful for undoing other classes like .select-none
at different breakpoints.
<div class="select-auto ...">
This text is selectable
</div>
By default, only responsive variants are generated for user-select utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the user-select utilities by modifying the userSelect
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: {
// ...
+ userSelect: ['hover', 'focus'],
}
}
}
If you don't plan to use the user-select utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the userSelect
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
corePlugins: {
// ...
+ userSelect: false,
}
}
