The container class sets the max-width of an element to match the min-width of the current breakpoint. This is useful if you’d prefer to design for a fixed set of screen sizes instead of trying to accommodate a fully fluid viewport.
Note that unlike containers you might have used in other frameworks, Tailwind’s container does not center itself automatically and does not have any built-in horizontal padding.
To center a container, use the mx-auto utility:
To add horizontal padding, use the px-{size} utilities:
If you’d like to center your containers by default or include default horizontal padding, see the below.
Applying conditionally
Responsive variants
The container class also includes responsive variants like md:container by default that allow you to make something behave like a container at only a certain breakpoint and up:
Customizing
Centering by default
To center containers by default, set the module.exports = { theme: { container: { padding: '2rem', }, }, }0 option to module.exports = { theme: { container: { padding: '2rem', }, }, }1 in the module.exports = { theme: { container: { padding: '2rem', }, }, }2 section of your config file:
module.exports = { theme: { container: { center: true, }, }, }
Adding horizontal padding
To add horizontal padding by default, specify the amount of padding you’d like using the module.exports = { theme: { container: { padding: '2rem', }, }, }3 option in the module.exports = { theme: { container: { padding: '2rem', }, }, }2 section of your config file:
module.exports = { theme: { container: { padding: '2rem', }, }, }
If you want to specify a different padding amount for each breakpoint, use an object to provide a module.exports = { theme: { container: { padding: '2rem', }, }, }5 value and any breakpoint-specific overrides:
Bootstrap’s cards provide a flexible and extensible content container with multiple variants and options.
About
A card is a flexible and extensible content container. It includes options for headers and footers, a wide variety of content, contextual background colors, and powerful display options. If you’re familiar with Bootstrap 3, cards replace our old panels, wells, and thumbnails. Similar functionality to those components is available as modifier classes for cards.
Example
Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still manage to deliver a ton of control and customization. Built with flexbox, they offer easy alignment and mix well with other Bootstrap components. They have no
