Don't clear

Use clear-none to reset any clears that are applied to an element. This is the default value for the clear property.

Responsive

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

<p class="clear-right md:clear-left ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

Customizing

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for clear utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the clear utilities by modifying the clear property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      // ...
-     clear: ['responsive'],
+     clear: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the clear utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the clear property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     clear: false,
    }
  }
