Introduction: Adding animations to your web projects can significantly enhance user interaction and engagement. Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework, offers a simple yet powerful way to integrate animations into your designs. This article will guide you through using Tailwind’s built-in animations, creating custom ones, and applying them in practical scenarios. So, let’s jump into the animated world of Tailwind CSS!

Getting Started with Tailwind CSS: Before delving deeper, ensure Tailwind CSS is set up in your environment. If you’re new or need a refresher, check out the comprehensive tutorial on installing Tailwind CSS in Visual Studio Code available on our YouTube playlist.

Using Built-in Tailwind CSS Animations: Tailwind comes equipped with a range of ready-to-use animations, such as:

  • animate-spin
  • animate-ping
  • animate-pulse
  • animate-bounce

To use these animations, add the relevant class to your HTML element. For instance:

<div class="animate-spin">...</div>

This snippet will apply a spinning animation to the div element.

Creating Custom Animations: Tailwind allows you to define your animations by specifying keyframes in the tailwind.config.js
