Tailwindcss-motion NPM

✨ Tailwind Motion β ✨

Tailwind Motion is a Tailwind CSS Plugin made at RomboHQ. It’s a simple, yet powerful, animation library with a simple syntax.

Motion, without commotion.

⚒️ Installation

1. Install npm package

npm i -d tailwindcss-motion

2. Add into your tailwind.config.js

// tailwind.config.js

export default {
     theme: {
        extend: {...},
    },
   plugins: [require('tailwindcss-motion')],
};

How does it work?

We provide a simple syntax to animate any element in your Tailwind project. Instead of defining custom keyframes, we provide utility classes to animate every dimension, inline.

For example, for a slide and fade effect — you simply need motion-translate-x-in-25 motion-opacity-in-0 or, you can use one of our presets with motion-preset-fade

Motion Presets

We provide a collection of presets to animate your components easily:

Fade: motion-preset-fade
Slide:
- Right: motion-preset-slide-right
- Left: motion-preset-slide-left
- Up: motion-preset-slide-up
- Down: motion-preset-slide-down
Focus: motion-preset-focus
Blur:
- Right: motion-preset-blur-right
- Left: motion-preset-blur-left
- Up: motion-preset-blur-up
- Down: motion-preset-blur-down
Bounce: motion-preset-bounce
Expand: motion-preset-expand
Shrink: motion-preset-shrink
Pop: motion-preset-pop
Compress: motion-preset-compress
Shake: motion-preset-shake
Wiggle: motion-preset-wiggle
Confetti: motion-preset-confetti
Typewriter: motion-preset-typewriter-[number of characters]
Flomoji: motion-preset-flomoji

Customizing Presets

You can further customize presets using base animations and modifiers classes.

For example:

Add a delay to motion-preset-fade:

<div class="motion-preset-fade motion-delay-500"></div>

Adjust the duration of motion-preset-slide-right:

<div class="motion-preset-slide-right motion-duration-2000"></div>

Increase the height of motion-preset-bounce:

<div class="motion-preset-bounce -motion-translate-y-in-150"></div>

Base Animations

Appart from presets, you can create your own custom animations by combining these base classes:

Fade In: motion-opacity-in-0
Slide In:
- From below: motion-translate-y-in-100
- From above: -motion-translate-y-in-100
Scale In: motion-scale-in-75
Rotate In:
- From 180 degrees: motion-rotate-in-180
- From -90 degrees: -motion-rotate-in-90
Blur In: motion-blur-in-sm
Grayscale In: motion-grayscale-in
Background Color Change: motion-bg-in-red-500
Text Color Change: motion-text-in-blue-500

Combining Animations

You can combine multiple animations on a single element:

<div
  class="motion-scale-in-75 motion-translate-y-in-100 motion-rotate-in-90"
></div>

Exit animations

For exit animations, simply replace in with out in the class name.

Modifiers

You can customize the duration, delay, and timing function of any animation.

Duration: motion-duration-500
Delay: motion-delay-500
Timing Function: motion-timing-spring-bouncy

For example:

<div
  class="motion-duration-2000 motion-rotate-in-180 motion-opacity-in-0"
></div>

This applies a duration of 2000ms to both the rotation and opacity animations.

Modifiers for each property

You can apply modifiers to specific properties using a slash /.

For example:

<div
  class="motion-delay-500/rotate motion-rotate-in-180 motion-opacity-in-0"
></div>

Here, the delay of 500ms is applied only to the rotation, not the opacity.

Ease Functions

The plugin includes custom timing functions:

a few examples are:

motion-ease-spring-smooth
motion-ease-spring-snappy
motion-ease-spring-bouncy
motion-ease-spring-bounciest
motion-ease-bounce
motion-ease-bounce
motion-ease-in-quart
