I don't know why, in my Nextjs app, there were times when I used the tailwind style to set the width and height of an element, but instead needed to create a class and then add the appropriate Settings to that class.Also, in the same element, I set the styles such as flex to work, but I never set the width and height to work (I need to manually create a class to add in this class).In addition, I also included this file in the tailwind.config.ts pair
Here's my example
Footer/index.tsx
export default function Footer() {
return (
<footer className="w100%">
// this footer is a class I created manually
{/* <div className="footer"> */}
// The width and height Settings here are not in effect😥
<div className="h100% py-40px mx-100px">
// The width and height Settings here are not in effect😥
<div className="h100% flex flex-row mx-100px justify-between items-center">
<div>....</div>
<ul>something about my social links</ul>
</div>
</div>
</footer>
);
}
Footer/Footer.module.css
footer {
border-top: 1px solid #e5e7eb;
height: 130px;
.footer {
height: 100%;
padding: 40px 0;
margin: 0 100px;
}
}
tailwind.config.ts
import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";
const config: Config = {
content: ["./src/ui/**/**/*.{ts,jsx,tsx}", "./src/app/**/*.{ts,jsx,tsx}"],
theme: {
extend: {
gridTemplateColumns: {},
colors: {},
},
keyframes: {},
},
};
export default config;
Here are a couple of things that you did wrong. It's important you visit the docs and use it as a guide
w100%
is not a tailwind class. Instead, it's w-full
h100%
is not a tailwind class. Instead, it's h-full
When using Arbitrary values,
mx-100px
is supposed to be mx-[100px]py-40px
- py-[40px]
export default function Footer() {
return (
<footer className="w-full">
{/* <div className="footer"> */}
<div className="h-full py-[40px] mx-[100px]">
<div className="h-full flex flex-row mx-[100px] justify-between items-center">
<div>....</div>
<ul>something about my social links</ul>
</div>
</div>
</footer>
);
}
