Customizing

Max-height scale

Customize Tailwind’s default max-height scale in the theme.maxHeight section of your tailwind.config.js file.

1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. theme: {
4. maxHeight: {
5. +       '0': '0',
6. +       '1/4': '25%',
7. +       '1/2': '50%',
8. +       '3/4': '75%',
9. +       'full': '100%',
10. }
11. }
12. }

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

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for max-height utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the max-height utilities by modifying the maxHeight property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. variants: {
4. // ...
5. -     maxHeight: ['responsive'],
6. +     maxHeight: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
7. }
8. }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the max-height utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the maxHeight property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. corePlugins: {
4. // ...
5. +     maxHeight: false,
6. }
7. }
