Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, usehover:bg-blend-darken to only apply thebg-blend-darken utility on hover.

<div >
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, usemd:bg-blend-darken to apply thebg-blend-darken utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
