How to have a flex child not fill entire height
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
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;
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
