A collection of Tailwind CSS v4.0 utilities for creating beautiful animations. Includes ready-to-use animations `accordion-down`, `accordion-up` and `caret-blink`, as well as a set of utilities for creating your own animations.

> ℹ️ **NOTE**
> This package is an alias of [tw-animate-css](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tw-animate-css). Both packages provide identical functionality, so you can use whichever name you prefer.
This package is a replacement for [`tailwindcss-animate`][Original_Plugin_GitHub]. It embraces the new [CSS-first architecture][TailwindCSS_Custom_Utilities], providing a pure CSS solution for adding animation capabilities to your Tailwind CSS project without relying on the legacy JavaScript plugin system or having to define all keywords from scratch.

## Getting Started
### NPM
1. Install the package with `npm`:
```sh
npm install -D tailwindcss-animate-x
```
2. Add the following line to your `app.css` or `globals.css` file:
```css
@import "tailwindcss-animate-x";
```
3. Start using the animations!
```html
<!-- Add an animated fade and zoom entrance -->
<div class="animate-in fade-in zoom-in">...</div>
<!-- Add an animated slide to top-left exit -->
<div class="animate-out slide-out-to-top slide-out-to-left">...</div>
<!-- Control animation duration -->
<div class="... duration-300">...</div>
<!-- Control animation delay -->
<div class="... delay-150">...</div>
<!-- And so much more! -->
```
> ℹ️ **NOTE**
> The above guide works for esbuild, Vite and probably other bundlers too. If you are using a different bundler, the syntax may differ. [Let me know][Create_Issue] how it works and I'll update the documentation.
### Manual Download
1. Download the [`tw-animate.css`][CSS_File]
file from GitHub and place it next to your `app.css` or `globals.css` file.
2. Add the following line to your `app.css` or `globals.css` file:
```css
@import "./tw-animate.css";
```
3. Start using the animations!
```html
<!-- Add an animated fade and zoom entrance -->
<div class="animate-in fade-in zoom-in">...</div>
<!-- Add an animated slide to top-left exit -->
<div class="animate-out slide-out-to-top slide-out-to-left">...</div>
<!-- Control animation duration -->
<div class="... duration-300">...</div>
<!-- Control animation delay -->
<div class="... delay-150">...</div>
<!-- And so much more! -->
```
## Usage
### Enter/Exit Animations
To keep the README concise, I'll define a few variables:
- `<io>`: Specify the type of animation. This can be `in` for enter or `out` for exit animations.
- `<dir>`: Specify the direction of the slide. This can be `in-from-top`, `in-from-bottom`, `in-from-left`, `in-from-right`, `in-from-start`, `in-from-end`, `out-to-top`, `out-to-bottom`, `out-to-left`, `out-to-right`, `out-to-start`, or `out-to-end`.
- `*`: Specify a value to apply. See list of possible values.
#### Base Classes
| Class | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`animate-<io>`][Docs_IO] | Base class for enter/exit animations. This needs to be applied in order for enter/exit animations to work. |
#### Parameter Classes
To customize the animation parameters, use the following classes:
| Class | Description |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`duration-*`][Docs_Duration] | Sets [`animation-duration`][MDN_Duration]. Uses `--tw-duration`, see [Tailwind CSS docs][TailwindCSS_Duration]. Defaults to `duration-150`. |
| [`ease-*`][Docs_Ease] | Sets [`animation-timing-function`][MDN_Ease]. Uses `--tw-ease`, see [Tailwind CSS docs][TailwindCSS_Easing]. Defaults to `ease-[ease]`. |
| [`delay-*`][Docs_Delay] | Sets [`animation-delay`][MDN_Delay]. Possible values: Any `<number>`, `initial`, or any other `[<value>]`. |
| [`repeat-*`][Docs_Repeat] | Sets [`animation-iteration-count`][MDN_Repeat]. Possible values: Any `<number>`, `infinite`, `initial` or any other `[<value>]`. |
| [`direction-*`][Docs_Direction] | Sets [`animation-direction`][MDN_Direction]. Possible values: `normal`, `reverse`, `alternate`, `alternate-reverse`, `initial` or any other `[<value>]`. |
| [`fill-mode-*`][Docs_Fill_Mode] | Sets [`animation-fill-mode`][MDN_Fill_Mode]. Possible values: `none`, `forwards`, `backwards`, `both`, `initial` or any other `[<value>]`. |
| [`running`][Docs_Running] | Sets [`animation-play-state`][MDN_Play_State] to `running`. |
| [`paused`][Docs_Paused] | Sets [`animation-play-state`][MDN_Play_State] to `paused`. |
| [`play-state-*`][Docs_Play_State] | Sets [`animation-play-state`][MDN_Play_State]. Possible values: `initial` or any other `[<value>]`. |
#### Transform Classes
| Class | Description |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`fade-<io>`][Docs_Fade] | Fades the element in from or out to `opacity: 0`. |
| [`fade-<io>-*`][Docs_Fade] | Fades the element in from or out to the specified value. Possible values: Any `<number>` (percentage) or any other `[<value>]`. |
| [`zoom-<io>`][Docs_Zoom] | Zooms the element in from or out to `scale3D(0,0,0)`. |
| [`zoom-<io>-*`][Docs_Zoom] | Zooms the element in from or out to the specified value. Possible values: Any `<number>` (percentage) or any other `[<value>]`. |
| [`spin-<io>`][Docs_Spin] | Spins the element in from or out to `rotate(30deg)`. |
| [`spin-<io>-*`][Docs_Spin] | Spins the element in from or out to the specified value. Possible values: Any `<number>` (degrees) or any other `[<value>]`. |
| [`slide-<dir>`][Docs_Slide] | Slides the element in from or out to the specified direction (`100%`). |
| [`slide-<dir>-*`][Docs_Slide] | Slides the element in from or out to the specified value. Possible values: Any `<number>` (percentage) or any other `[<value>]`. |
### Ready-to-Use Animations
| Class | Description |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`accordion-down`][Docs_Accordion] | Accordion down animation. Requires one of `--radix-accordion-content-height`, `--bits-accordion-content-height`, `--reka-accordion-content-height` or `--kb-accordion-content-height` to be set to the content's height. |
| [`accordion-up`][Docs_Accordion] | Accordion up animation. Requires one of `--radix-accordion-content-height`, `--bits-accordion-content-height`, `--reka-accordion-content-height` or `--kb-accordion-content-height` to be set to the content's height. |
| [`collapsible-down`][Docs_Collapsible] | Collapsible down animation. Requires `--radix-collapsible-content-height`, `--bits-collapsible-content-height`, `--reka-collapsible-content-height` or `--kb-collapsible-content-height` to be set to the content's height. |
| [`collapsible-up`][Docs_Collapsible] | Collapsible up animation. Requires `--radix-collapsible-content-height`, `--bits-collapsible-content-height`, `--reka-collapsible-content-height` or `--kb-collapsible-content-height` to be set to the content's height. |
| [`caret-blink`][Docs_Caret] | Blinking animation for caret/cursor. |
By the way, if you don't use some of the above animations, they will not be included in the final CSS file. This is because Tailwind CSS kind of does tree-shaking for you. So, if you don't use `accordion-down`, it won't be included in the final CSS file.
## Examples
**Basic usage:**
```html
<div class="animate-in fade-in slide-in-from-top-8 duration-500">
Fade in from 0% opacity,<br />
slide from top by 8 spacing units (2rem),<br />
with a 500ms duration.
</div>
```
**Advanced usage:**
```html
<div
class="data-[state=show]:animate-in data-[state=hide]:animate-out fade-in slide-in-from-top-8 fade-out slide-out-to-top-8 duration-500"
data-state="show"
>
<p>
If the element has the <code>data-state="show"</code> attribute,<br />
fade in from 0% opacity,<br />
slide from top by 8 spacing units (2rem),<br />
with a 500ms duration.
</p>
<p>
If the element has the <code>data-state="hide"</code> attribute,<br />
fade out to 0% opacity,<br />
slide to top by 8 spacing units (2rem),<br />
with a 500ms duration.
</p>
</div>
```
## Notes on Compatibility
> ℹ️ **NOTE**
> I use only a small portion of the original plugin, so it might not be a 100% compatible drop-in replacement. If you notice any inconsistencies, feel free to contribute to this repository by opening a pull-request.
