Tailwind CSS v1.2.0

This is probably the most exciting feature release in the history of Tailwind, so put on your seat belts.

New Features

CSS Transition support (#1273)

Tailwind now includes utilities for setting the transition-property, transition-duration, and transition-timing-function properties.

<button class="opacity-50 hover:opacity-100 transition-opacity duration-100 ease-out">...</button>
Expand to see the default values for these utilities 
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {

    // .transition-{property}
    transitionProperty: {
      none: 'none',
      all: 'all',
      default: 'background-color, border-color, color, fill, stroke, opacity, box-shadow, transform',
      colors: 'background-color, border-color, color, fill, stroke',
      opacity: 'opacity',
      shadow: 'box-shadow',
      transform: 'transform',
    },

    // .ease-{timingFunction}
    transitionTimingFunction: {
      linear: 'linear',
      in: 'cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 1, 1)',
      out: 'cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1)',
      'in-out': 'cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)',
    },

    // .duration-{duration}
    transitionDuration: {
      '75': '75ms',
      '100': '100ms',
      '150': '150ms',
      '200': '200ms',
      '300': '300ms',
      '500': '500ms',
      '700': '700ms',
      '1000': '1000ms',
    },
  }
}

CSS Transform support (#1272)

Tailwind now includes utilities for scaling, rotating, translating, and skewing elements.

<span class="transform scale-150 rotate-45 translate-x-full origin-center"></span>
Expand to see the default values for these utilities 
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {

    // .origin-{origin}
    transformOrigin: {
      center: 'center',
      top: 'top',
      'top-right': 'top right',
      right: 'right',
      'bottom-right': 'bottom right',
      bottom: 'bottom',
      'bottom-left': 'bottom left',
      left: 'left',
      'top-left': 'top left',
    },

    // .scale-{scale}
    // .scale-x-{scale}
    // .scale-y-{scale}
    scale: {
      '0': '0',
      '50': '.5',
      '75': '.75',
      '90': '.9',
      '95': '.95',
      '100': '1',
      '105': '1.05',
      '110': '1.1',
      '125': '1.25',
      '150': '1.5',
    },

    // .rotate-{angle}
    rotate: {
      '-180': '-180deg',
      '-90': '-90deg',
      '-45': '-45deg',
      '0': '0',
      '45': '45deg',
      '90': '90deg',
      '180': '180deg',
    },

    // .translate-x-{distance}
    // .translate-y-{distance}
    // .-translate-x-{distance}
    // .-translate-y-{distance}
    translate: (theme, { negative }) => ({
      ...theme('spacing'),
      ...negative(theme('spacing')),
      '-full': '-100%',
      '-1/2': '-50%',
      '1/2': '50%',
      full: '100%',
    }),

    // .skew-x-{amount}
    // .skew-y-{amount}
    skew: {
      '-12': '-12deg',
      '-6': '-6deg',
      '-3': '-3deg',
      '0': '0',
      '3': '3deg',
      '6': '6deg',
      '12': '12deg',
    },
  }
}

One notable difference in how this works vs. other utilities in Tailwind is that the transform utility acts sort of like a "toggle" — you need to add that class to "enable" transforms on an element but on its own it doesn't actually apply any transforms.

You apply the actual transforms by stacking additional utilities for the types of transforms you'd like to apply, like scale-150 to scale an element to 150% of its size, or rotate-45 to rotate it 45 degrees.

To make it possible to compose multiple transforms like this, we've implemented this feature using CSS custom properties, which means transforms in Tailwind are not supported in IE11. If you need to support IE11 and would like to use transforms in your project, you'll need to write custom CSS as you would have in earlier versions of Tailwind.

CSS Grid utilities (#1274)

Tailwind now includes utilities for CSS Grid Layout.

<div class="grid grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-8 gap-6">
  <div class="col-span-1 lg:col-span-3"></div>
  <div class="col-span-1 lg:col-span-3"></div>
  <div class="col-start-1 col-end-3 lg:col-start-4 lg:col-end-8"></div>
  <div class="col-span-1 col-start-1 lg:col-span-4 lg:col-start-2"></div>
  <div class="col-span-1 col-end-3 lg:col-span-6 lg:col-end-9"></div>
</div>
Expand to see the default values for these utilities 
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {

    // .gap-{spacing}, .row-gap-{spacing}, .col-gap-{spacing}
    gap: theme => theme('spacing'),

    // .grid-cols-{cols}
    gridTemplateColumns: {
      none: 'none',
      '1': 'repeat(1, minmax(0, 1fr))',
      '2': 'repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr))',

      '2': '2',
      '3': '3',
      '4': '4',
      '5': '5',
      '6': '6',
      '7': '7',
    },
  }
}

By default we ship the necessary utilities to construct grids with 1–12 explicit columns and 1-6 explicit rows and place elements anywhere in that grid.

Note that the approach we've taken to supporting CSS Grid is not compatible with IE11. For building grid layouts in older browsers, we recommend using Flexbox instead of CSS Grid.

Added max-w-{screen} utilities (#1284)

Tailwind's default max-width scale now includes values to match your breakpoints, taking the form max-w-screen-{breakpointName}.

<div class="max-w-screen-lg">...</div>

These are useful when you need behavior similar to the container class but only for certain sizes.

Added max-w-none utility (#1283)

Tailwind's default max-width scale now includes a none value for removing any max-width constraint an element might have.

<div class="max-w-md lg:max-w-none">...</div>

Added rounded-md utility (#1281)

Tailwind's default border-radius scale now includes an md value for giving an element a 6px border radius.

<div class="rounded-md"></div>

Added shadow-sm utility (#1280)

Tailwind's default box-shadow scale now includes an sm value for giving an element a very subtle small shadow — great for giving buttons or inputs a bit of depth without being super in-your-face.

<div class="shadow-sm"></div>

For more information, check out the pull request.

Added shadow-xs utility (#1333)

Tailwind's default box-shadow scale now includes an xs value for giving an element a very subtle outline shadow, very useful for stacking with other shadows when you need a tiny bit of extra distinction from the background.

<div class="shadow-md rounded-md">
  <div class="shadow-xs rounded-md">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
</div>

Added stroke-width utilities (#1094)

Tailwind now includes utilities for controlling the stroke-width property of SVG elements.

<svg class="stroke-2">...</svg>
Expand to see the default values for these utilities 
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {

    // .stroke-{width}
    strokeWidth: {
      '0': '0',
      '1': '1',
      '2': '2',
    }
  }
}

Added fixed line-height utilities (#1362)

Tailwind now includes a sensible set of fixed-value line-height utilities in addition to the existing relative line-height utilities.

<svg class="leading-5">...</svg>
Expand to see the default values for these utilities 
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {

    // .leading-{size}
    lineHeight: {
      none: '1',
      tight: '1.25',
      snug: '1.375',
      normal: '1.5',
      relaxed: '1.625',
      loose: '2',
      '3': '.75rem',
      '4': '1rem',
      '5': '1.25rem',
      '6': '1.5rem',
      '7': '1.75rem',
      '8': '2rem',
      '9': '2.25rem',
      '10': '2.5rem',
    }
  }
}

Added additional display utilities for table elements (#954)

Tailwind now includes a complete set of display utilities for table elements.

<div class="table-header-group">...</div>

We've added table-caption, table-column, table-column-group, table-footer-group, table-header-group, and table-row-group.

Added box-sizing utilities (#1031)

Tailwind now includes box-border and box-content utilities for setting the box-sizing property of an element.

<div class="box-content">...</div>

These can be useful when working with third party libraries that rely on the default browser value of box-sizing: content-box, which we override in our base styles.

For more information, check out the documentation.

Added clear utilities (#1051)

Tailwind now includes clear-left, clear-right, and clear-both utilities for clearing floats using the clear property.

<div class="clear-left">...</div>

For more information, check out the documentation.

Config file dependencies are now watchable (#1072)

If you are require-ing other modules inside your tailwind.config.js file, those files will now be automatically watched for changes when running a webpack/PostCSS watcher.

Previously, you'd have to restart your watcher any time you changed those files. Now those changes will be noticed automatically and your CSS will just rebuild as expected — hurray!

For more information, check out the pull request.

Added new plugin and plugin.withOptions APIs (#1268)

In prior versions of Tailwind, plugins were just simple anonymous functions:

// my-plugin.js
module.exports = function ({ addUtilities, variants, theme }) {
  // ...
}

While this approach still works great and is 100% supported, Tailwind v1.2 adds two new official APIs for creating plugins that allow us to support some helpful new features.

The new tailwindcss/plugin module exports a function that you can use to create a plugin like so:

// my-plugin.js
const plugin = require('tailwindcss/plugin')

module.exports = plugin(function ({ addUtilities, variants, theme }) {
  // ...
})

You can also use plugin.withOptions to create a plugin that accepts some additional user configuration right in the plugins section of your config:

// my-plugin.js
const plugin = require('tailwindcss/plugin')

module.exports = plugin.withOptions(function (options) {
  return function ({ addUtilities, variants, theme }) {
    // ...
  }
})

Previously if you designed a plugin this way, users would have to make sure to invoke your plugin in their config, even if they had no custom configuration to provide:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('plugin-with-no-options'),
    require('plugin-that-has-options')(),
  ]
}

Now Tailwind is smart enough to invoke the function on the user's behalf, so if they don't want to provide any options, they can just require the plugin:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('plugin-with-no-options'),
    require('plugin-that-has-options'),
  ]
}

Allow plugins to extend the user's config (#1162)

Plugins can now extend the user's config file by providing their own configuration object as a second argument to the new plugin API:

// my-plugin.js
const plugin = require('tailwindcss/plugin')

module.exports = plugin(function ({ addUtilities, variants, theme }) {
  // ...
}, {
  theme: {
    myPluginName: {...},
  },
  variants: {
    myPluginName: ['responsive'],
  }
})

This also works using the plugin.withOptions API, just pass a function that accepts your options and returns your config:

// my-plugin.js
const plugin = require('tailwindcss/plugin')

module.exports = plugin.withOptions(function (options) {
  return function ({ addUtilities, variants, theme }) {
    // ...
  }
}, function (options) {
  return {
    theme: {
      myPluginName: {...},
    },
    variants: {
      myPluginName: ['responsive'],
    }
  }
})

By providing your default theme values/variants this way, users can use Tailwind's extend feature to extend your defaults just like they can with core plugins.
