Installation

yarn add tailwind-animatecss animate.css
# OR
npm install tailwind-animatecss animate.css

Specify the plugin in tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    require('tailwind-animatecss')
  ],
  // ...
};

Usage

Animations can be applied using animatecss prefixed classes:

<h1 class="animatecss animatecss-bounce">Bouncy!</h1>
<h1 class="animatecss animatecss-slideInDown">Sliding in</h1>
<h1 class="animatecss animatecss-jackInTheBox">Jack in the box</h1>

---

All animate.css classes are modified to use the animatecss class name and prefix to avoid conflicts with Tailwind's animations. The table below should give you an idea of how the classes are mapped to the prefix.

animate.css	tailwind-animatecss
animate__animated	animatecss
animate__fadeIn	animatecss-fadeIn
animate__infinite	animatecss-infinite
animate__repeat-2	animatecss-repeat-2
animate__delay-2s	animatecss-delay-2s
animate__fast	animatecss-fast
	... and so on

Advanced

Changing the prefix

By default, animatecss is used as the base class name and prefix for classes. This can be changed by specifying the theme.animatecss.prefix option in tailwind.config.js.

module.exports = {
  // ...
  theme: {
    animatecss: {
      prefix: 'custom-animation'
    }
  }
  // ...
};
// class names will now be available under
// `custom-animation`, `custom-animation-bounce`, `custom-animation-infinite` and so on.

How this plugin differs from other implementations

Unlike other projects, this plugin doesn't implement the animations through a rewrite of the animate.css utilities.

Instead, classes, keyframes and styles are read from your installed version of animate.css at compile time and these are registered with Tailwind so the animations can be used with purging support, IntelliSense and other Tailwind goodness.
