  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">5</div>
  <div class="text-gray-700 bg-gray-400 flex justify-center items-center px-4 py-2">6</div>
</div>

Responsive

To control the alignment of a grid item inside its grid area at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use md:justify-self-end to apply the justify-self-end utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Customizing

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for justify-self utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the justify-self utilities by modifying the justifySelf 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: {
      // ...
-     justifySelf: ['responsive'],
+     justifySelf: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
    }
  }

Disabling

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

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