What is Tailwind CSS?

Tailwind CSS is a highly customizable, utility-first CSS framework that enables you to build modern websites without ever leaving your HTML. Unlike traditional frameworks like Bootstrap, Tailwind doesn't provide predefined components. Instead, it provides low-level utility classes that let you build completely custom designs.

Key features of Tailwind CSS include:

  • Utility-first approach with classes like flex, pt-4, and text-center
  • Responsive design utilities with breakpoint prefixes like md: and lg:
  • State variants with prefixes like hover:, focus:, and active:
  • Built-in dark mode with the dark: prefix
  • JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation for optimized production builds

How to Create a Tailwind Button?

Creating buttons with Tailwind CSS is straightforward and highly customizable. Here's a breakdown of the common classes used:

Essential Button Classes:

  • Base Styling: px-4 py-2 rounded-md
  • Colors: bg-blue-500 text-white
  • Typography: text-sm font-medium
  • Hover Effects: hover:bg-blue-600
  • Focus Styles: focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500

You can combine these classes to create different button variants:

  • Primary Button: Solid background with light text
  • Secondary Button: Light background with dark text
  • Outline Button: Transparent background with colored border
  • Ghost Button: No background until hovered

Using This Generator

This generator helps you create custom Tailwind buttons by providing an intuitive interface for selecting colors, sizes, and styles. Simply adjust the controls in the left panel to see your changes reflected in real-time.

Two ways to use the generated styles:

  1. Copy the Tailwind classes directly into your HTML for quick implementation with Tailwind CSS
  2. Use the generated Pure CSS code for projects without Tailwind CSS - perfect for traditional CSS workflows or when you need standalone styles

*Note: While hover effects can be configured using the controls, the live preview button currently does not display these hover state changes. The generated classes will still include your hover effect selections.*
