How to use Animations & Transitions in Tailwindcss

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides a set of pre-defined styles and classes for building custom designs. One of the features of Tailwind CSS is the ability to add animations to your web page using utility classes based on the animation-* property in CSS.

These classes allow you to specify the duration, delay, easing, and iteration count of an animation, as well as the name of the @keyframes rule that defines the different stages of the animation.

To use the animation classes, you first need to define the @keyframes rule that specifies the styles that should be applied at each stage of the animation. Once you have defined your @keyframes rule, you can apply it to an element using the animation-* classes.

Transitions, on the other hand, are a way to smoothly change the value of a CSS property over a period of time, in response to a user interaction such as a hover or a click. Tailwind CSS provides utility classes for defining transitions based on the transition-* property in CSS.

These classes allow you to specify the duration, delay, and easing of the transition, as well as the CSS property that should be animated. To use the transition classes, you first need to specify the CSS property that you want to animate, as well as the duration, delay, and easing of the transition.

You can then apply the transition to an element by using the transition-* classes on a state change, such as a hover or focus state. Overall, animations and transitions can be a useful way to add visual interest and interactivity to your web page.
