This class accepts lots of values in tailwind CSS in which all the properties are covered in class form. It is the alternative to the CSS Padding Property. This class is used to create space around the element, inside any defined border. We can set different paddings for individual sides (top, right, bottom, left). It is important to add border properties to implement padding properties. There are lots of CSS properties used for padding like CSS padding-top, CSS padding-bottom, CSS padding-right, CSS padding-left, etc.

Padding classes:

  • p-0: This class is used to define the padding on all the sides.
  • py-0: This class is used to define padding on the y-axis i.e padding-top and padding-bottom.
  • px-0: This class is used to define padding on the x-axis i.e padding-left and padding-right.
  • pt-0: This class is specially used to add padding on top.
  • pr-0: This class is specially used to add padding on right.
  • pb-0: This class is specially used to add padding on the bottom.
  • pl-0: This class is specially used to add padding on left.

Note: You can change the number “0” with the valid “rem” values.

p-0: This class is used to define the padding on all the sides. 

Syntax:

<element class="p-0">...</element>
