stroke-width
Utilities for styling the stroke width of SVG elements.
| Class | Styles |
|---|---|
stroke-<number> | |
stroke-width: <number>; |
|
| stroke-(length:<custom-property>) |
stroke-width: var(<custom-property>);
|
| stroke-[<value>] |
stroke-width: <value>;
|
Use stroke-<number> utilities like stroke-1 and stroke-2 to set the stroke width of an SVG:
<svg class="stroke-1 ..."></svg><svg class="stroke-2 ..."></svg>
This can be useful for styling icon sets like Heroicons.
Use the stroke-[<value>] syntax to set the stroke width based on a completely custom value:
<div class="stroke-[1.5] ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
For CSS variables, you can also use the stroke-(length:<custom-property>) syntax:
<div class="stroke-(length:--my-stroke-width) ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
This is just a shorthand for stroke-[length:var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Prefix a stroke-width utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<div class="stroke-1 md:stroke-2 ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
