Basic usage

Don’t wrap

Use flex-nowrap to prevent flex items from wrapping, causing inflexible items to overflow the container if necessary:

01
02
03
<div class="flex flex-nowrap">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Wrap normally

Use flex-wrap to allow flex items to wrap:

01
02
03
<div class="flex flex-wrap">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Wrap reversed

Use flex-wrap-reverse to wrap flex items in the reverse direction:

01
02
03
<div class="flex flex-wrap-reverse">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

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

<div class="flex flex-wrap hover:flex-wrap-reverse">
  <!-- ... -->
</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:flex-wrap-reverse to apply the flex-wrap-reverse utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="flex flex-wrap md:flex-wrap-reverse">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
