Tailwind CSS line-clamp utilities

This is a Tailwind CSS plugin that adds utilities to restrict the amount of lines an element can have by using the CSS property line-clamp.

Maintained by: Joan Piedra → @neojp

Installation

Install as a node module with either npm or yarn on your command line

# Install via npm
npm install --save-dev @neojp/tailwindcss-line-clamp-utilities

Add this module as a plugin on your Tailwind configuration file (tailwind.config.js).

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
      require('@neojp/tailwindcss-line-clamp-utilities')

Variants

Note that this plugin allows the usage of variants through the key lineClamp and will default to your global variant setting.

  variants: {
    lineClamp: ['responsive']
