Tailwind CSS: Make something stretch to fill the entire width or height available.

Laying Things Out (Positioning & Structure)

Make something stretch to fill the entire width or height available.

Skill ID: LayingThingsOut_8

Description: An element expands to take up all the horizontal or vertical space it's allowed.

Where to apply: Full-width banners, background sections, sidebars that fill height.

Key Tailwind Classes:


       w-full


       h-full


       min-h-screen

Gotcha: h-full on a child element only works if its direct parent has a defined height. If the parent's height is determined by its content, h-full won't have an effect. min-h-screen is useful for top-level page sections.
