Add 3D transforms to your TailwindCSS project.

TailwindCSS 3D is a TailwindCSS plugin that adds additional transform utilities and animations which can help you to add three dimensional styling.

By default TailwindCSS adds transforms in two dimensions ("x" and "y" axis only), so scale, rotate, and translate are flat transformations. This plugin adds support for the "z" axis and implements extensions to the bounce and spin animations to allow them to operate in multiple directions.

Tailwind's core implementation uses the transform CSS property to achieve all transformations. This method is better supported by older browsers, but has some limitations which make it more difficult to use.

This plugin implements transformation using newer CSS properties like rotate, translate, and scale where support in more recent browsers allows. This opens some new possibilities when combining utility classes with animations, and in the composition of new animations.

Install the plugin from npm:

npm install tailwindcss-3d

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

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    // ...
  },
  plugins: [
    require('tailwindcss-3d'),
    // ...
  ],
}

Available utilities:

• scale (x, y, z)
• rotate (x, y, z)
• translate (x, y, z)
• skew (x, y)
• perspective
• perspective-origin
• backface
• transform-box
• transform-style

Available animations:

• bounce (x, y, z)
• spin (x, y, z)
• bounce-and-spin (x, y, z)

Default modifiers and values for utilities and animations can be changed in your tailwind.config.js file by extending the relevant theme defaults.

Requirements:

• NodeJS 18+
• PNPM 7+

After cloning the repository, to compile a build:

pnpm build
pnpm build:types

This will create a compiled version of the plugin in the ./dist directory.

To have the build automatically compiled, run:

pnpm dev

This also compiles both code and types to ./dist.

pnpm lint
pnpm test
