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](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transform) 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`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/rotate), [`translate`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/translate), and [`scale`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/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. ## Browser compatibility Since this pluign uses newer CSS properties, it will produce CSS which is not compatible with some older browsers. Refer to [this list of CSS features on CanIUse.com](https://caniuse.com/?feats=mdn-css_properties_rotate,mdn-css_properties_scale,mdn-css_properties_translate,mdn-css_properties_perspective,mdn-css_properties_perspective-origin,mdn-css_properties_backface-visibility,mdn-css_properties_transform-box,mdn-css_properties_transform-style,transforms2d,transforms3d) If you want to support older browsers, you can use `legacy` mode. ## Installation Install the plugin using npm or your preferred package manager: ```sh # npm npm install -D tailwindcss-3d # yarn yarn add -D tailwindcss-3d # pnpm pnpm add -D tailwindcss-3d ``` Then add the plugin to your `tailwind.config.js` file: ```js // tailwind.config.js module.exports = { theme: { // ... }, plugins: [ require('tailwindcss-3d'), // ... ], } ``` Turn on `legacy` mode to support older browsers like this: ```js // tailwind.config.js module.exports = { theme: { // ... }, plugins: [ require('tailwindcss-3d')({ legacy: true }), // ... ], } ``` All configuration of utility values is done via theme configuration in your `tailwind.config.js` file. Appropriate theme configuration points are indicated under each utility below. Here is an example of extending the available rotation values to add a 30 degree and a 60 degree rotation value on all axes: ```js // tailwind.config.js module.exports = { theme: { extend: { rotate: { '30': '30deg', '60': '60deg', }, }, // ... }, plugins: [ require('tailwindcss-3d'), // ... ], } ``` For more information about extending your theme, see the relevant [Tailwind documentation](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/theme#customizing-the-default-theme). ## Usage ### A note on coordinates "y" axis values in the CSS coordinate system can be a bit confusing at first. The origin of the coordinate system, where `x = 0, y = 0` in two-dimensional space is the top-left of the browser window. From there, positive values of "x" are to the right as expected, but positive values of "y" are in the downward direction from that point. This is the opposite of common usage in other contexts like maths and construction. The effect of this is felt most when translating elements which are in the middle of a page, and also in the case of this plugin when applying directions to animations. ### Utilities #### scale [Tailwind Play scale utility examples](https://play.tailwindcss.com/IzMFd64IOn) | Class. | Properties | | ----------- | --------------------- | | scale-x-0 | scale: 0 … … | | scale-y-0 | scale: … 0 … | | scale-z-0 | scale: … … 0 | | scale-0 | scale: 0 0 … | | scale3d-0 | scale: 0 0 0 | | scale-x-50 | scale: .5 … … | | scale-y-50 | scale: … .5 … | | scale-z-50 | scale: … … .5 | | scale-50 | scale: .5 .5 … | | scale3d-50 | scale: .5 .5 .5 | | scale-x-75 | scale: .75 … … | | scale-y-75 | scale: … .75 … | | scale-z-75 | scale: … … .75 | | scale-75 | scale: .75 .75 … | | scale3d-75 | scale: .75 .75 .75 | | scale-x-90 | scale: .9 … … | | scale-y-90 | scale: … .9 … | | scale-z-90 | scale: … … .9 | | scale-90 | scale: .9 .9 … | | scale3d-90 | scale: .9 .9 .9 | | scale-x-95 | scale: .95 … … | | scale-y-95 | scale: … .95 … | | scale-z-95 | scale: … … .95 | | scale-95 | scale: .95 .95 … | | scale3d-95 | scale: .95 .95 .95 | | scale-x-100 | scale: 1 … … | | scale-y-100 | scale: … 1 … | | scale-z-100 | scale: … … 1 | | scale-100 | scale: 1 1 … | | scale3d-100 | scale: 1 1 1 | | scale-x-105 | scale: 1.05 … … | | scale-y-105 | scale: … 1.05 … | | scale-z-105 | scale: … … 1.05 | | scale-105 | scale: 1.05 1.05 … | | scale3d-105 | scale: 1.05 1.05 1.05 | | scale-x-110 | scale: 1.1 … … | | scale-y-110 | scale: … 1.1 … | | scale-z-110 | scale: … … 1.1 | | scale-110 | scale: 1.1 1.1 … | | scale3d-110 | scale: 1.1 1.1 1.1 | | scale-x-125 | scale: 1.25 … … | | scale-y-125 | scale: … 1.25 … | | scale-z-125 | scale: … … 1.25 | | scale-125 | scale: 1.25 1.25 … | | scale3d-125 | scale: 1.25 1.25 1.25 | | scale-x-150 | scale: 1.5 … … | | scale-y-150 | scale: … 1.5 … | | scale-z-150 | scale: … … 1.5 | | scale-150 | scale: 1.5 1.5 … | | scale3d-150 | scale: 1.5 1.5 1.5 | Inherits values from `theme.scale` in your config.

``` Note that you may see unexpected results on the y-axis as this plugin treats "up" as a negative value. You can use negative animations (prepending a `-` to the start of a class) to change the direction of travel: ```html
``` ## Configuration Default modifiers and values for utilities and animations can be changed in your `tailwind.config.js` file by extending the relevant theme defaults. ## Development Requirements: * NodeJS 18+ * PNPM 7+ ### Build the plugin After cloning the repository, to compile a build: ```sh 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: ```sh pnpm dev ``` This also compiles both code and types to `./dist`. ### Testing and linting ```sh pnpm lint pnpm test ```
