## Example

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex -mx-2">
@foreach ($page->config['opacity']->reverse() as $name => $value)
    <div class="flex-1 text-slate text-center bg-smoke px-4 py-2 mx-2 opacity-{{ $name }}">.opacity-{{ $name }}</div>
@endforeach
</div>
@slot('code')
@foreach ($page->config['opacity']->reverse() as $name => $value)
<div class="opacity-{{ $name }}">.opacity-{{ $name }}</div>
@endforeach
@endslot
@endcomponent

## Responsive

To control the opacity of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a `{breakpoint}:` prefix to any existing opacity utility. For example, use `md:opacity-50` to apply the `opacity-50` utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

For more information about Tailwind's responsive design features, check out the [Responsive Design](/workflow/responsive-design) documentation.

@component('_partials.responsive-code-sample')
@slot('none')
<div class="text-center">
    <div class="px-4 py-2 bg-smoke opacity-100 w-24 h-24 rounded-pill inline-block"></div>
</div>
@endslot
@slot('sm')
<div class="text-center">
    <div class="px-4 py-2 bg-smoke opacity-75 w-24 h-24 rounded-pill inline-block"></div>
</div>
@endslot
@slot('md')
<div class="text-center">
    <div class="px-4 py-2 bg-smoke opacity-50 w-24 h-24 rounded-pill inline-block"></div>
</div>
@endslot
@slot('lg')
<div class="text-center">
    <div class="px-4 py-2 bg-smoke opacity-25 w-24 h-24 rounded-pill inline-block"></div>
</div>
@endslot
@slot('xl')
<div class="text-center">
    <div class="px-4 py-2 bg-smoke opacity-0 w-24 h-24 rounded-pill inline-block"></div>
</div>
@endslot
@slot('code')
<div class="none:opacity-100 sm:opacity-75 md:opacity-50 lg:opacity-25 xl:opacity-0 ...">
    <!-- ... -->
</div>
@endslot
@endcomponent

## Customizing

By default Tailwind provides five opacity utilities based on a simple numeric scale. You change, add, or remove these by editing the `opacity` section of your Tailwind config.
