Flex Direction

​

Basic usage

​

Row

Use flex-row to position flex items horizontally in the same direction as text:

<div class="flex flex-row ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

​

Row reversed

Use flex-row-reverse to position flex items horizontally in the opposite direction:

<div class="flex flex-row-reverse ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

​

Column

Use flex-col to position flex items vertically:

<div class="flex flex-col ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

​

Column reversed

Use flex-col-reverse to position flex items vertically in the opposite direction:

<div class="flex flex-col-reverse ...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

​

Applying conditionally

​

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:flex-row to only apply the flex-row utility on hover.

<div class="flex flex-col hover:flex-row">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

​

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:flex-row to apply the flex-row utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="flex flex-col md:flex-row">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
