Overflow

Atomic overflow classes allow you to change an element’s overflow properties quickly.

Class Output Definition
.overflow-auto overflow: auto;

If content fits inside the content box, it looks the same as visible, but still establishes a new block-formatting context. Desktop browsers like Firefox provide scrollbars if content overflows.

.overflow-x-auto overflow-x: auto;

If content fits inside the content box, it looks the same as visible in the x dimension, but still establishes a new block-formatting context. Desktop browsers like Firefox provide scrollbars if content overflows.

.overflow-y-auto overflow-y: auto;

If content fits inside the content box, it looks the same as visible in the y dimension, but still establishes a new block-formatting context. Desktop browsers like Firefox provide scrollbars if content overflows.

.overflow-hidden overflow: hidden;

Content is clipped if necessary to fit the content box. No scrollbars are provided.

.overflow-x-hidden overflow-x: hidden;

.overflow-y-hidden overflow-y: hidden;

.overflow-scroll overflow: scroll;

.overflow-y-scroll overflow-y: scroll;

Content is not clipped and may be rendered outside the content box. This is the default value.
