Individual sides

Use the .border-{side}, .border-{side}-0, .border-{side}-2, .border-{side}-4, or .border-{side}-8 utilities to set the border width for one side of an element.

@component('_partials.code-sample')

.border-t-2

Responsive

To control the border width of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing border width utility. For example, use md:border-t-4 to apply the border-t-4 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Customizing

Border Widths

By default Tailwind provides five border-width utilities, and the same number of utilities per side (top, right, bottom, and left). You change, add, or remove these by editing the theme.borderWidth section of your Tailwind config. The values in this section will also control which utilities will be generated side.

@component('_partials.customized-config', ['key' => 'theme.borderWidth']) default: '1px', '0': '0', '2': '2px',

  • '3': '3px', '4': '4px',
  • '6': '6px',
  • '8': '8px', @endcomponent

@include('_partials.variants-and-disabling', [ 'utility' => [ 'name' => 'border width', 'property' => 'borderWidth', ], 'variants' => [ 'responsive', ], ])
