Visibility

​

Basic usage

​

Making elements invisible

Use invisible to hide an element, but still maintain its place in the DOM, affecting the layout of other elements (compare with .hidden from the display documentation).

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
  <div>01</div>
  <div class="invisible ...">02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

​

Making elements visible

Use visible to make an element visible. This is mostly useful for undoing the invisible utility at different screen sizes.

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
  <div>01</div>
  <div class="visible ...">02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

​

Applying conditionally

​

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:invisible to only apply the invisible utility on hover.

<div class="visible hover:invisible">
  <!-- ... -->
</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, use md:invisible to apply the invisible utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="visible md:invisible">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
