Examples

Basic example

Use min-w-<number> utilities like min-w-24 and min-w-64 to set an element to a fixed minimum width based on the spacing scale:

<Figure> <Example> { <div className="relative mx-auto grid w-60 justify-items-start gap-y-4 text-center font-mono text-xs font-bold text-white"> <Stripes border className="absolute -inset-y-4 w-20 rounded-lg" /> <div className="relative min-w-80 rounded-lg bg-sky-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-80</div> <div className="relative min-w-64 rounded-lg bg-sky-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-64</div> <div className="relative min-w-48 rounded-lg bg-sky-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-48</div> <div className="relative min-w-40 rounded-lg bg-sky-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-40</div> <div className="relative min-w-32 rounded-lg bg-sky-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-32</div> <div className="relative min-w-24 rounded-lg bg-sky-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-24</div> </div> } </Example>
html
<!-- [!code classes:min-w-96,min-w-80,min-w-64,min-w-48,min-w-40,min-w-32,min-w-24,min-w-full] -->
<div class="w-20 ...">
  <div class="min-w-80 ...">min-w-80</div>
  <div class="min-w-64 ...">min-w-64</div>
  <div class="min-w-48 ...">min-w-48</div>
  <div class="min-w-40 ...">min-w-40</div>
  <div class="min-w-32 ...">min-w-32</div>
  <div class="min-w-24 ...">min-w-24</div>
</div>
</Figure>

Using a percentage

Use min-w-full or min-w-<fraction> utilities like min-w-1/2 and min-w-2/5 to give an element a percentage-based minimum width:

<Figure> <Example> { <div className="relative mx-auto my-6 flex w-full justify-items-start gap-3 text-center font-mono text-xs font-bold text-white"> <Stripes border className="absolute inset-x-0 -inset-y-3 rounded-lg" /> <div className="relative min-w-2/3 rounded-lg bg-indigo-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-3/4</div> <div className="relative w-full rounded-lg bg-indigo-300 px-4 py-2 dark:bg-indigo-800 dark:text-indigo-400"> w-full </div> </div> } </Example>
html
<!-- [!code classes:min-w-3/4] -->
<div class="flex ...">
  <div class="min-w-3/4 ...">min-w-3/4</div>
  <div class="w-full ...">w-full</div>
</div>
</Figure>

Using the container scale

Use utilities like min-w-sm and min-w-xl to set an element to a fixed minimum width based on the container scale:

<Figure> <Example> { <div className="relative grid justify-items-start gap-y-4 text-center font-mono text-xs font-bold text-white"> <Stripes border className="absolute -inset-y-4 w-40 rounded-lg" /> <div className="relative hidden min-w-lg rounded-lg bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2 sm:block">min-w-lg</div> <div className="relative hidden min-w-md rounded-lg bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2 sm:block">min-w-md</div> <div className="relative hidden min-w-sm rounded-lg bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2 sm:block">min-w-sm</div> <div className="relative min-w-xs rounded-lg bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-xs</div> <div className="relative min-w-2xs rounded-lg bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-2xs</div> <div className="relative min-w-3xs rounded-lg bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2">min-w-3xs</div> </div> } </Example>
html
<!-- [!code classes:min-w-lg,min-w-md,min-w-sm,min-w-xs,min-w-2xs,min-w-3xs] -->
<div class="w-40 ...">
  <div class="min-w-lg ...">min-w-lg</div>
  <div class="min-w-md ...">min-w-md</div>
  <div class="min-w-sm ...">min-w-sm</div>
  <div class="min-w-xs ...">min-w-xs</div>
  <div class="min-w-2xs ...">min-w-2xs</div>
  <div class="min-w-3xs ...">min-w-3xs</div>
</div>
