Go through each question and its explanation. Use this set as a focused practice pack for Tailwind CSS.
You can define custom keyframes and animations in the tailwind.config.js file under theme.extend.keyframes and theme.extend.animation. This lets you create branded motion patterns like sliding menus or fading alerts.
For complete preparation, combine this set with full subject-wise practice for Tailwind CSS. You can also explore other subjects and sets from the links below.
The 'transition' class enables smooth transitions for style changes like color, background, or transform. It’s often used with hover effects to create polished UI interactions.
class='transition duration-300 hover:bg-blue-600'
A transition smoothly changes properties between two states, like color on hover. An animation defines a continuous sequence of keyframes that repeat or move independently. In short, transitions react to events, while animations run automatically.
The 'animate-spin' class rotates the element continuously, often used for loading icons or progress indicators.
class='animate-spin h-6 w-6 text-blue-500'
The 'duration-' utilities define how long a transition takes. For instance, 'duration-500' means the transition completes in 0.5 seconds.
class='transition duration-500 ease-in-out'
The 'delay-' utilities add a wait time before the transition begins. For example, 'delay-300' waits 300 milliseconds before animating the property.
class='transition delay-300 hover:opacity-80'
The 'ease-in' easing function starts the animation slowly and speeds up toward the end, giving a natural acceleration effect.
class='transition ease-in duration-300'
The 'scale-110' class increases the element’s size by 10%. It requires the 'transform' utility to be active for the effect to apply properly.
class='transform hover:scale-110'
The 'rotate-45' utility rotates the element by 45 degrees clockwise. You can combine it with hover states for interactive rotation effects.
class='transform hover:rotate-45'
The 'translate-x-4' utility shifts the element horizontally by 1rem to the right. Negative versions like '-translate-x-4' move it left.
class='transform hover:translate-x-4'
The 'animate-ping' class creates a pulsing ring effect where the element grows and fades, mimicking a radar or ripple motion.
class='animate-ping absolute h-4 w-4 bg-blue-400 rounded-full'
The 'animate-pulse' animation repeatedly fades elements in and out softly, often used to indicate loading or active states.
class='animate-pulse bg-gray-200 h-6 w-32'
Tailwind supports the 'motion-reduce:' variant to disable or simplify animations for users who prefer less motion. It respects user system settings and improves accessibility for those sensitive to movement.
Transitions make hover effects smoother by easing property changes like color, opacity, or scale. This improves the feel of interactivity and makes UIs look more professional. Without transitions, hover effects appear abrupt or harsh.
Transform origin defines the pivot point around which scaling, rotation, or translation happens. For example, 'origin-top-left' rotates an element from its top-left corner, while 'origin-center' spins it around its center.
