Learn how to use Tailwind's Flexbox utility classes to ensure your footer stays at the bottom of the screen in React
how do i ensure my footer sits at the bottom of any screen using tailwind css and react
To ensure that your footer stays at the bottom of the screen using Tailwind CSS and React, you can use the Flexbox utility classes provided by Tailwind.
Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
jsx Copy code
import React from 'react';
function App() {
return (
<div className="flex flex-col min-h-screen">
<main className="flex-1"> {/* Add any content here */}</main>
<footer className="text-center bg-gray-200 py-4">
{/* Add footer content here */}
</footer>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
In the example above, we wrap our main content and footer inside a div with a flex class and flex-col class to define the Flexbox container. Then, we set the min-h-screen class on the container to ensure that it takes up the full height of the screen.
Next, we add the flex-1 class to the main content section so that it takes up the remaining space in the container. Finally, we add the footer at the end of the container and set the desired styles for the footer section.
By using flex-1, the main content will always take up the remaining space in the container, pushing the footer to the bottom of the screen.

👩💻 How do i ensure main content of the page are centred on all screens
To center the main content of a page on all screens, you may use the Flexbox utility classes provided by Tailwind CSS. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
jsx Copy code
import React from 'react';
function App() {
return (
<div className="flex flex-col h-screen items-center justify-center">
<main className="text-center">
{/* Add main content here */}
</main>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
In the example above, we use the flex class and flex-col class to define the Flexbox container. Then, we set the h-screen class on the container to ensure that it takes up the full height of the screen.
Next, we use the items-center class and justify-center class to center the container and its contents both horizontally and vertically on the screen. Finally, we add the main content section and set any styles as needed.
By using items-center and justify-center, the main content section will be centered both vertically and horizontally on the screen.

add custom breakpoint of width 703 tailwind with short hand
In Tailwind CSS, you can add custom breakpoints with a custom media query as follows:
css Copy code
@media (width: 703px) {
/* your custom CSS goes here */
}
You can also use the short form of Tailwind CSS:
css Copy code
@screen w-703 {
/* your custom CSS goes here */
}
add custom breakpoint of width 703 tailwind
In Tailwind CSS you can add custom breakpoints by defining the breakpoints within the theme.breakpoints object within your Tailwind configuration. For example:
js Copy code
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
breakpoints: {
sm: '576px',
md: '768px',
lg: '992px',
xl: '1200px',
xxl: '1440px',
custom: '703px'
}
}
}
how to hide a scrollbar in an element using tailwind css and the element can still scroll without scrollbar
You can use the overflow-x and overflow-y properties to hide the scrollbar while still being able to scroll in an element using Tailwind CSS. To do so, you need to set overflow-y: auto (or scroll) to let the element scroll and overflow-x: hidden to hide the scrollbar, like this:
css Copy code
.example-element {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
}
