@thoughtbot/tailwindcss-aria-attributes

A plugin that provides variants for various aria-* attributes and their supported values.

Installation

Install the plugin from npm:

# Using npm
npm install @thoughtbot/tailwindcss-aria-attributes

# Using Yarn
yarn add @thoughtbot/tailwindcss-aria-attributes

Then add the plugin to your tailwind.config.js file:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    // ...
  },
  plugins: [
    require("@thoughtbot/tailwindcss-aria-attributes"),
    // ...
  ],
}

Usage

There are two styles of attributes supported by the variants: boolean attributes, and enumerated values.

In some cases, attributes belong to both groups.

Boolean attributes

Variants for boolean attributes are active when the value is "true" and only "true". When the attribute is missing or the value is "false", its other applicable utility classes are applied.

Currently, the collection of variants includes support for the following boolean attributes:

Attribute Variant
aria-atomic="true" aria-atomic:
aria-busy="true" aria-busy:
aria-checked="true" aria-checked:
aria-current="true" aria-current:
aria-disabled="true" aria-disabled:
aria-expanded="true" aria-expanded:
aria-grabbed="true" aria-grabbed:
aria-haspopup="true" aria-haspopup:
aria-hidden="true" aria-hidden:
aria-invalid="true" aria-invalid:
aria-live="true" aria-live:
aria-modal="true" aria-modal:
aria-multiline="true" aria-multiline:
aria-multiselectable="true" aria-multiselectable:
aria-pressed="true" aria-pressed:
aria-readonly="true" aria-readonly:
aria-required="true" aria-required:
aria-selected="true" aria-selected:

To utilize a boolean variant, prefix the attribute name with aria- and omit the value:

<ul role="listbox">
  <li role="option" class="aria-selected:border">Not selected</li>
  <li role="option" class="aria-selected:border" aria-selected="true">Selected</li>
</ul>

<button class="aria-disabled:cursor-not-allowed" aria-disabled="true">Submit</button>

Enumerated values

Variants for enumerated values are active when the value is equivalent to the variant's suffix.

When the attribute is missing or the value does not match the specified suffix, its other applicable utility classes are applied.

Currently, the collection of variants includes support for the following attributes and value combinations:

Attribute Variants
aria-autocomplete aria-autocomplete-both:
aria-autocomplete-inline:
aria-autocomplete-list:
aria-autocomplete-none:
aria-current aria-current-date:
aria-current-location:
aria-current-page:
aria-current-step:
aria-current-time:
aria-dropeffect aria-dropeffect-copy:
aria-dropeffect-execute:
aria-dropeffect-link:
aria-dropeffect-move:
aria-dropeffect-none:
aria-dropeffect-popup:
aria-haspopup aria-haspopup-dialog:
aria-haspopup-grid:
aria-haspopup-listbox:
aria-haspopup-menu:
aria-haspopup-tree:
aria-orientation aria-orientation-horizontal:
aria-orientation-undefined:
aria-orientation-vertical:
aria-sort aria-sort-ascending:
aria-sort-descending:
aria-sort-none:
aria-sort-other:
aria-relevant aria-relevant-additions:
aria-relevant-all:
aria-relevant-removals:
aria-relevant-text:

To utilize an enumerated value variant, prefix the attribute name with aria- and include the value:

<nav>
  <a class="aria-current-page:font-bold" href="/" aria-current="page">Root</a>
  <a class="aria-current-page:font-bold" href="/about">About us</a>
</nav>
