Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:justify-items-center to only apply the justify-items-center utility on hover.

<div class="grid justify-items-start hover:justify-items-center">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:justify-items-center to apply the justify-items-center utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="grid justify-items-start md:justify-items-center">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
