Apply a style to a children with Tailwind
UPDATE: use
*:
as of Tailwind 3.4
It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I wonder, how do I apply a style to a child element, with Tailwind?
The next time this happens, I’ll have this blog post explain it to me.
You can use this class name to apply the bg-gray-300
class (for example) to all child elements of the current element:
[&>*]:bg-gray-300
Like this:
<div class="[&>*]:bg-gray-300">....</div>
