Tailwind CSS Concept Explained

Making Things Interactive & Respond to Users

Make style changes happen smoothly (animations/transitions).

Skill ID: Interactive_40

Description: Style changes animate smoothly instead of instantly.

Where to apply: Hover effects, opening/closing menus, showing/hiding elements.

Key Tailwind Classes:

transition duration-300 ease-in-out
transition duration-300 ease-in-out

Gotcha: Forgetting to specify *which* properties should transition. By default, Tailwind transitions common properties like colors, opacity, shadow, and transform. If you want to transition width or height , you might need transition-all or explicitly list them: transition-[width,height] . Transitions also don't work on all properties (e.g., display ).

Example:

Hover over the box below to see a smooth transition effect.

Hover Me

Relevant classes on the box: transition , duration-500 , ease-in-out , hover:bg-pink-500 , hover:scale-110 , hover:rotate-12 .

The transition , duration-* , and ease-* classes enable smooth changes for properties like background color ( bg-* ) and transformations ( scale-* , rotate-* ) on hover.
