How to have a flex child not fill entire height
I had a horizontal list of items, and if a line of text got to 2 lines, I had some additional space and its flex siblings were extending to full height.
This was the code
<li class="flex">
<code class="flex-none text-sm whitespace-normal mr-2 mt-0.5 bg-white text-black p-1 ">
{new Date(post.date).toString().slice(4, 11)}
</code>{' '}
<code class="flex-none text-sm whitespace-normal mr-2 bg-black text-white border p-1 ">
{post.tag}
</code>
<a href={'/' + post.url + '/'}>{post.title}</a>
</li>
To fix this, I added the self-start
class to the code
blocks which in Tailwind CSS applies the CSS align-self: start;
