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

Motion, without commotion.

1. Install npm package

npm i -D tailwindcss-motion

2. Add into your tailwind.config.js

// tailwind.config.js

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

or, to use ESM:

import tailwindcssMotion from "tailwindcss-motion";

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
     content: [...],
     theme: {
          extend: {},
     },
     plugins: [tailwindcssMotion],
};

The plugin includes TypeScript definitions out of the box. Theme customizations and plugin configuration are fully typed:

import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";
import motion from "tailwindcss-motion";

const config: Config = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      motionScale: {
        "200": "200%",
      },
      motionTimingFunction: {
        custom: "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)",
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [motion],
};

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
