I'd like to truncate automatically long items with ellipsis on small screens.
When I use truncate
it does not apply.
And I don't want the ul
to overflow from the div
Well, here's the solution...
<div class="max-w-md">
<ul class="flex items-center">
<li class="flex items-center">
<a href="">
<svg class="h-5 w-5 flex-shrink-0" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="currentColor"><path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M2.25 12l8.954-8.955c.44-.439 1.152-.439 1.591 0L21.75 12M4.5 9.75v10.125c0 .621.504 1.125 1.125 1.125H9.75v-4.875c0-.621.504-1.125 1.125-1.125h2.25c.621 0 1.125.504 1.125 1.125V21h4.125c.621 0 1.125-.504 1.125-1.125V9.75M8.25 21h8.25"></path></svg>

<li class="flex items-center overflow-hidden">
