Full installation instructions in the Installation guide.
Overview
<x-aura::container> centres its content and caps its width, so text does not stretch into unreadable lines on a wide monitor. It is the outermost wrapper for most pages — put your sections inside it, not around it.
Basic Usage
Content constrained to the container width.
<x-aura::container>
<div class="rounded-lg border border-aura-surface-200 p-4 text-sm">Content constrained to the container width.</div>
</x-aura::container><x-aura::container>
<h1>Dashboard</h1>
</x-aura::container>
Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
size |
string |
'lg' |
Maximum width: sm, md, lg, xl, full. |
Sizes
Each size maps to a Tailwind screen breakpoint, so the container never exceeds the width that breakpoint describes.
sm
md
lg (default)
<div class="space-y-3">
<x-aura::container size="sm"><div class="rounded bg-aura-primary-100 p-2 text-center text-xs">sm</div></x-aura::container>
<x-aura::container size="md"><div class="rounded bg-aura-primary-100 p-2 text-center text-xs">md</div></x-aura::container>
<x-aura::container size="lg"><div class="rounded bg-aura-primary-100 p-2 text-center text-xs">lg (default)</div></x-aura::container>
</div><x-aura::container size="sm">…</x-aura::container>
<x-aura::container size="xl">…</x-aura::container>
<x-aura::container size="full">…</x-aura::container>
Notes
size="full" removes the cap entirely while keeping the horizontal padding — useful for a dashboard that should use the whole screen but still not touch the edges.
