Tailwind Max Height

The max-height utility class in Tailwind CSS allows you to control the maximum height of elements. It provides a set of classes that enable you to set the Tailwind max height to specific values, percentages, or use predefined max-height utilities for common use cases.

Applying Tailwind Max Height

To set the Tailwind maximum height of an element, you can use the max-h-{size} class, where {size} can be one of the following options:

• max-h-{value}: This sets the maximum height to a specific value in pixels.

• max-h-screen: This sets the maximum height to the full height of the viewport.

• max-h-full: This sets the maximum height to 100% of the parent container.

• max-h-0: This sets the maximum height to 0, effectively hiding the element.

Here's an example of how to use the Tailwind max height utility classes:

<div class="h-96">
  <div class="max-h-80">max-h-80</div>
  <div class="max-h-40">max-h-80</div>
  <div class="max-h-24">max-h-24</div>
</div>

Percentage-based Tailwind Max Height

Tailwind CSS also provides utility classes for setting maximum height as a percentage of the parent container's height. You can use the max-h-{percentage} class to achieve this. Here's an example:

<div class="h-96">
 <div class="max-h-full"></div>
 <div class="max-h-screen"></div>
</div>

Responsive Tailwind Max Height

Tailwind CSS allows you to control the maximum height of elements responsively at different breakpoints. To use responsive max-height classes, you can append the breakpoint prefix to the max-height classes. For example, md:max-h-48 sets the maximum height to 48 pixels starting from the medium breakpoint and above. Here's an example:

<div class="max-h-64 md:max-h-48">
  This div has a maximum height of 64 pixels by default, and 48 pixels starting from the medium
  breakpoint.
</div>

In the above example, the max-h-64 class is applied by default, setting the tailwind max height to 64 pixels. However, starting from the medium breakpoint and above, the md:max-h-48 class is applied, changing the tailwind max height to 48 pixels.
