How to Use “box-content” in Tailwind?

In Tailwind CSS, the “box-sizing” property determines the calculation of the element’s width and height. The “box-content” is a class that sets the “box-sizing” property of the element to “content-box”. It excludes padding from the total size which indicates that the specified height and width will only apply to the content area, and the padding and border will be added on top of that.

This write-up will demonstrate the method of using “box-content” in Tailwind.

How to Use “box-content” in Tailwind?

To use the “box-content” in Tailwind, it is required to add the “box-content” class to the particular element in the HTML program and define the height, width, padding, and border.

Check out the below-provided steps for a practical demonstration:

Step 1: Use the “box-content” Class in HTML Program

In an HTML program, use the box-content class, and specify the height and width. For instance, we have defined the “box-content” with the following height, width, padding, border, and background color:

<body>

<div class="box-content h-36 w-36 p-4 border-4 bg-yellow-400">

Hello Linux Hint! Welcome Here.

</div>

</body>

Here:

  • The “box-content” sets the “box-sizing” property to the element and ensures that it excludes padding from the total size.
  • h-36” sets the height of the element to 36px.
  • w-36” sets the width of the element to 36px.
  • p-4” applies the equal padding of the element to 4px on all sides (top, right, bottom, left).
  • border-4” sets the border width of the element to 4px.
  • bg-yellow-400” sets the yellow color to the background of the element.

This creates a box with a width and height of 36 pixels, a padding of 4 pixels, and a border of 4 pixels. The total size of the box will be 44px × 44px and the internal content area will be 36px × 36px.

Step 2: Verification

Ensure that the “box-content” class has been applied successfully by viewing the HTML web page:

The above web page has displayed the box according to which it was styled i.e., “box-content”.

Conclusion

To use “box-content” in Tailwind, make an HTML program, add the “box-content” class to the particular element, and specify the height, width, padding, and border in it. For verification, run the HTML program and view the web page. This write-up has demonstrated the method of using “box-content” in Tailwind.
