Tailwind CSS Join Components

The Join component is used to group multiple elements together into a single cohesive unit. It is perfect for combining buttons, inputs, and labels without gaps between them. You can create segmented controls or search bars. It handles border radius automatically to maintain a clean appearance.

Basic Usage

html

<div class="join">
    <button class="join-item btn btn-outline">Button</button>
    <button class="join-item btn btn-outline">Button</button>
    <button class="join-item btn btn-outline">Button</button>
</div>

Join Directions

Control the layout orientation of grouped items using directional utility classes.

Horizontal Join

The default layout for side-by-side controls and button groups.

    <button class="join-item btn btn-outline">Button</button>
    <button class="join-item btn btn-outline">Button</button>
    <button class="join-item btn btn-outline">Button</button>
</div>

Vertical Join

Stacks join items vertically, ideal for sidebars or mobile-specific navigation.
