Getting Started

Install

Write the configuration for the plug-in

Pass the option object to the plug-in as follows:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('tailwindcss-pseudo-elements')({
      customPseudoClasses: ['foo'],
      customPseudoElements: ['bar'],
      contentUtilities: false,
      emptyContent: false,
      classNameReplacer: {
        'hover:before:text-black': 'hbt',
      },
    }),
  ],
}

Set the variants

Naming convention of the variants is like pseudo-class:pseudo-class::pseudo-element.
An example configuration is shown below.

module.exports = {
  variants: {
    extend: {
      textColor: [
        'responsive',
        'hover',
        'focus',
        'before',
        'after',
        'hover::before',
        'hover::after',
        'focus::before',
        'checked:hover',
        'checked:hover::before',
      ],
    },
  },
}

Write the HTML

<div
  class="relative
    before:aspect-ratio-4/3
    hover:before:aspect-ratio-1/1
    before:empty-content"
>
  <img class="absolute pin w-full h-full" src="..." />
</div>

Content Property Utilities

There are utilities that set the attributes of HTML elements to the content property.

<p
  class="content-before content-after content-hover-before"
  tw-content-before="🧡"
  tw-content-hover-before="💖"
  tw-content-after="💙️"
>
