Stroke Width

​

Basic usage

​

Setting the stroke width

Use the stroke-{width} utilities 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.

​

Applying conditionally

​

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:stroke-2 to only apply the stroke-2 utility on hover.

<svg class="stroke-1 hover:stroke-2">
  <!-- ... -->
</svg>

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:stroke-2 to apply the stroke-2 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<svg class="stroke-1 md:stroke-2">
  <!-- ... -->
</svg>

To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, Dark Mode and other media query modifiers.

​

Using custom values

​

Customizing your theme

By default, Tailwind provides three stroke-width utilities. You change, add, or remove these by editing the theme.strokeWidth section of your Tailwind config.

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      strokeWidth: {
        '2': '2px',
      }
    }
  }
}

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

​

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off stroke-width value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

<svg class="stroke-[2px]">
  <!-- ... -->
</svg>
