Tailwind CSS React Hover Effects

Responsive hover effects built with Tailwind CSS. Hover effect appears when the user positions the computer cursor over an element without activating it.

Basic example

Hover effect appears when a user positions computer cursor over an element without activating it.

        
            
      import React from 'react';
      import { TERipple } from 'tw-elements-react';
      
      export default function HoverEffectBasicExample(): JSX.Element {
        return (
          <div>
            <TERipple>
              <div
                className="relative max-w-xs overflow-hidden bg-cover bg-no-repeat">
                <img
                  src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/fluid/city/113.webp"
                  className="max-w-xs"
                  alt="Louvre" />
                <a>
                  <div
                    className="absolute bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 h-full w-full overflow-hidden bg-[hsl(0,0%,98.4%,0.2)] bg-fixed opacity-0 transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:opacity-100"></div>
                </a>
              </div>
            </TERipple>
          </div>
        );
      }

Showing the animation effect

As you can see in the above example, you can add any animation to any element on the page by using the following classes:

transition: used to animate the chaged properties on hover,
duration-x: used to define the duration of the animation where x is the time in milliseconds; e.g. duration-300.

Then, you should be able to add any type of animation by changing the property on hover by using the class: [hover:tw-class-name] e.g. hover:opacity-100.

Color

Change the color and opacity by manipulating color and .hover:opacity-* classes. Have a look at our masks docs to learn more.

Gradient

Set a fancy gradient as an overlay.

        
            
      import React from 'react';
  
      export default function App() {
        return (
          <div className="relative max-w-xs overflow-hidden bg-cover bg-no-repeat">
            <img
              src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/fluid/city/113.webp"
              className="max-w-xs"
              alt="Louvre" />
            <div
              className="absolute bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 h-full w-full overflow-hidden bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 via-purple-500 to-pink-500 opacity-0 transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:opacity-70"></div>
          </div>
        );
      }

Zoom

Use .hover:scale-110 class to any element to apply zoom.

        
            
      import React from 'react';
  
      export default function App() {
        return (
          <div className="relative max-w-xs overflow-hidden bg-cover bg-no-repeat">
            <img
              src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/fluid/city/113.webp"
              className="max-w-xs transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:scale-110"
              alt="Louvre" />
          </div>
        );
      }

Shadow

Use .hover:shadow-lg class to any element to apply the effect.

        
            
      import React from 'react';
  
      export default function App() {
        return (
          <img
          src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/fluid/city/113.webp"
          className="max-w-xs transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:shadow-lg dark:hover:shadow-black/30"
          alt="Louvre" />
        );
      }
