I am currently working on a component's responsive styling wherein on large screens I have the div with the text element sitting on top of the div containing the img element and on smaller and medium screens have the div with the image aligned right below the div with the text element. I am using Next.js and and Tailwind CSS for styling.
The styling works fine on large screens but for some reason the div with the text element is not showing in small screens when I already have flex flex-col-reverse in the parent element
Here is how the entire code look like:
import React from 'react'
import Image from 'next/image'
import catImage from '../assets/catImage.webp'
const LargeCard = () => {
return (
<article className='relative flex flex-col-reverse h-screen py-16 lg:h-96' >
<div>
<Image src={catImage}
layout='fill'
objectFit='cover'
className='rounded-2xl'
/>
</div>
<div className='h-96 lg:absolute lg:top-32 lg:left-12' >
<h2 className='text-white text-4xl font-semibold mb-3 w-64' >Cat Ipsum</h2>
<p className='text-lg lg:w-[300px] text-white' >Stretch out on bed i heard this rumor where the humans are our owners, pfft, what do they know?!</p>
<button className='bg-gray-100 text-gray-900 px-4 py-2 rounded-lg mt-5 max-w-md ' >Learn more</button>
</div>
</article>
)
}
export default LargeCard
tailwind.config.js:
module.exports = {
mode: 'jit',
purge: ['./pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}', './components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}'],
darkMode: false, // or 'media' or 'class'
theme: {
extend: {},
maxWidth: {
md: '90vw'
}
},
variants: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [
require('tailwind-scrollbar-hide')
],
}
forgot to post the answer. I actually solved the following day.
First. flex-col-reverse is actually working.
Second. setting nextjs's <Image> component's objectFit property to cover will set the img element to cover the entire area of it's grandparent element so to contain it you add position relative to the parent div containing it and make sure to define it's height too.
something like this:
<div className='relative h-96'>
<Image src={catImage}
layout='fill'
objectFit='cover'
className='rounded-2xl'
/>
</div>

This question already has an answer here:
Conditionally set background color in React component with Tailwind CSS
(1 answer)
Closed last month.
I want to use MUI theming in my otherwise Tailwind-styled page so I can centrally handle the color palettes for dark and light mode since I found the decentral dark and light mode theming provided by Tailwind not very practicable in case I want to change colors.
My approach is to use the Tailwind syntax for arbitrary values and pass the hex code from the theme.js color palette.
the Tailwind arbitrary syntax is:
bg-[#hex]
e.g.:
bg-[#50d71e]
which just works fine in normal classNames, e.g.:
<div className={`bg-[#50d71e]`}>
<div/>
gives me a green background (#50d71e) in that container.
On the other side, I have a mui-themed template page. Here I can reference colors as follows:
import {useTheme} from "#mui/material";
import { tokens } from "../../theme";
const AnyName = () => {
const theme = useTheme();
const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);
return (
<Box backgroundColor={colors.grey[400]}></Box>
<Box sx={{backgroundColor: colors.grey[500],}}></Box>
}
export default AnyName;
And again, it just works fine.
Now, if I want to fuse these two approaches, I am struggling to query the hex code out of the const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);.
The theme.js holds all color values as hex, so I think this should be possible. Here is a look inside:
export const tokens = (mode) => ({
...(mode === 'dark'
?
{
grey: {
900: "#141414",
800: "#292929",
700: "#3d3d3d",
600: "#525252",
500: "#666666",
400: "#858585",
300: "#a3a3a3",
200: "#c2c2c2",
100: "#e0e0e0",
},
} : {
grey: {
100: "#141414",
200: "#292929",
300: "#3d3d3d",
400: "#525252",
500: "#666666",
600: "#858585",
700: "#a3a3a3",
800: "#c2c2c2",
900: "#e0e0e0",
},
}),
});
** What I have tried: **
const AnyName = ({ anyProp }) => {
const theme = useTheme();
const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);
return (
<div
className={`bg-[${colors.grey[400]}]`}
></div>
);
};
export default AnyName;
This doesn't work. I guess it is a matter of scoping, but I am not sure, and I honestly do not know what I am doing.
So I tried a few more things like:
className={`bg-[{colors.grey[400]}]`}
Which doesn't seem to reference colors at all.
And:
className={`bg-[colors.grey[400]]`}
Which also does not reference colors.
All three approaches result in a transparent background.
Now I am here, hoping for your help. Thanks.
I suspect this to work, But you are not able to see the background color because the there is no children for this div, which makes it height of 0
Try adding height:
<div className={`bg-[${colors.grey[400]}] h-24`}/>
Thanks for your answer. Up there is not the complete code. I tried to keep it short for the post. There are children, and if I set the background using normal Tailwind syntax, e.g., bg-[#50d71e], it works as expected. Here is the full return statement, unmodified:
return (
<div
className={`bg-[#50d71e] shadow-lg rounded-lg p-0 lg:p-8 pb-12 mb-8`}
>
<div className="relative overflow-hidden shadow-md pb-80 mb-6">

);
Since the VS Code autocompletion works as intended when using the $-approach, I guess maybe it is not or not only a matter of scope.
I messed around a bit more and found something strange.
In the following example I will be using colors.grey[900] which is #141414.
If I manually enter bg-[#141414], the background will be dark-grey (obviously).
If I then enter bg-[${colors.grey[900]}], it works just fine.
So I guessed, maybe that's just some caching.
I double-checked --> chrome --> F12 --> disable cache --> page refresh --> still works fine.
I double-checked again, differently by changing the hex to a different value, e.g. bg-[${colors.grey[800]}] --> doesn't work. Changing it back to bg-[${colors.grey[900]}] --> works again.
Checked it on a different Browser which always clears cache and never loaded the page before: still works.
Restart Server: and bg-[${colors.grey[900]}] also does not work anymore.
Steps to reproduce:
doesn't show grey background
const AnyName = ({ anyProp }) => {
const theme = useTheme();
const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);
const hex = colors.grey[900];
return (
<div
className={`bg-[${hex}]`}
></div>
);
};
export default AnyName;
shows grey Background
const AnyName = ({ anyProp }) => {
const theme = useTheme();
const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);
const hex = colors.grey[900];
return (
<div
className={`bg-[#141414]`}
></div>
);
};
export default AnyName;
shows grey Background
const AnyName = ({ anyProp }) => {
const theme = useTheme();
const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);
const hex = colors.grey[900];
return (
<div
className={`bg-[${hex}]`}
></div>
);
};
export default AnyName;
doesn't show grey background (changed colors.grey to 800)
const AnyName = ({ anyProp }) => {
const theme = useTheme();
const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);
const hex = colors.grey[800];
return (
<div
className={`bg-[${hex}]`}
></div>
);
};
export default AnyName;
shows grey background even in different browser without caching
const AnyName = ({ anyProp }) => {
const theme = useTheme();
const colors = tokens(theme.palette.mode);
const hex = colors.grey[900];
return (
<div
className={`bg-[${hex}]`}
></div>
);
};
export default AnyName;
So I guess there must be some weird server-side binding issue that I overcome by once providing directly the correct value and afterwards it seems to be cached on server-side and works. Once I restart the server, everything is gone and I have to go through steps 1,2,3 to make it work again.
Any ideas? Workarounds also welcome.
edit:
I found this thread:
JIT tailwindcss using variable in bg-[] not rendering color
Unfortunately, I did not find it before, even after reviewing related threads.
This sheds a lot of light on the issue.
I'm trying to add a custom gradient over an image using React state, Tailwind CSS and the FastAverageColor package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-average-color) into my Next JS app.
I'm using an useEffect hook for this:
const [avgColor, setAvgColor] = useState("")
useEffect(() => {
const fac = new FastAverageColor()
fac.getColorAsync(songData.track.album.images[0].url, { algorithm: 'dominant' }).then(result => {
setAvgColor(`w-full h-full absolute bg-gradient-to-tr from-[${result.hex}] to-transparent`)
})
}, [avgColor, songData.track.album.images])
The JSX is presented below:
<div className="relative w-full h-full">
<Image priority alt="test" layout='fill' objectFit='cover' src={songData.track.album.images[0].url} />
{avgColor ? <div className={avgColor}></div> : null}
</div>
The problem is that my gradient doesn't appear over the image. Do you know maybe why this happens?
It's not possible to do with JIT classes but you can use from-current and set an inline color to set the from color.
So, try this:
setAvgColor(result.hex)
and
<div style={{color: avgColor}} className="w-full h-full absolute bg-gradient-to-tr from-current to-transparent"></div>
basic demo
I'm just learning React and Tailwind CSS and had a strange experience with CSS grid using Tailwind classes. I've made the buttons for a calculator, with the last Button spanning two columns:
App.js:
export default function App() {
return (
<div className="flex min-h-screen items-center justify-center bg-blue-400">
<Calculator />
</div>
);
}
Calculator.js
import { IoBackspaceOutline } from "react-icons/io5";
export const Calculator = () => {
return (
<div className="grid grid-cols-4 grid-rows-5 gap-2">
<Button>AC</Button>
<Button>
<IoBackspaceOutline size={26} />
</Button>
<Button>%</Button>
<Button>รท</Button>
<Button>7</Button>
<Button>8</Button>
<Button>9</Button>
<Button>x</Button>
<Button>4</Button>
<Button>5</Button>
<Button>6</Button>
<Button>-</Button>
<Button>1</Button>
<Button>2</Button>
<Button>3</Button>
<Button>+</Button>
<Button>0</Button>
<Button>.</Button>
<Button colSpan={2}>=</Button>
</div>
);
};
const Button = ({ colSpan = 1, rowSpan = 1, children }) => {
return (
<div
className={`col-span-${colSpan} row-span-${rowSpan} bg-white p-3 rounded`}
>
<div className="flex items-center justify-center">{children}</div>
</div>
);
};
This doesn't work (tested in Chrome):
Now here comes the weird part. I replaced the returned JSX from the App component with HTML from a Tailwind tutorial and deleted it again.
<div className="bg-blue-400 text-blue-400 min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center">
<div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-2">
<div className="col-span-2 bg-white p-10 rounded">1</div>
<div className="bg-white p-10 rounded">2</div>
<div className="row-span-3 bg-white p-10 rounded">3</div>
<div className="bg-white p-10 rounded">4</div>
<div className="bg-white p-10 rounded">5</div>
<div className="bg-white p-10 rounded">6</div>
<div className="col-span-2 bg-white p-10 rounded">7</div>
<div className="bg-white p-10 rounded">8</div>
<div className="bg-white p-10 rounded">9</div>
</div>
</div>
After I Ctrl-Z'd a bunch of times, so I had only the previous code, my button suddenly spans two columns as intended:
I checked to make sure that there were no changes in the code:
My friend even cloned my repo, followed the same steps and got the same result.
He suspects that it has something to do with the variable classNames in my Button component with regards to Tailwind's JIT compiler, but none of us can pinpoint the error.
Am I using variable CSS classes wrong?
This has been a WTF moment. What could be the reason for this?
The CSS file generated by Tailwind will only include classes that it recognizes when it scans your code, which means that dynamically generated classes (e.g. col-span-${colSpan}) will not be included.
If you only need to span 2 columns, you could pass boolean values which will trigger the addition of a full col-span-2 or row-span-2 utility class to be added:
const Button = ({ colSpan = false, rowSpan = false, children }) => {
return (
<div
className={`${colSpan ? 'col-span-2' : ''} ${rowSpan ? 'row-span-2' : ''} bg-white p-3 rounded`}
>
<div className="flex items-center justify-center">{children}</div>
</div>
);
};
Otherwise, you could pass the values as classes to the Button component:
<Button className='col-span-2 row-span-1'>=</Button>
const Button = ({ className, children }) => {
return (
<div
className={`${className} bg-white p-3 rounded`}
>
<div className="flex items-center justify-center">{children}</div>
</div>
);
};
More information: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/content-configuration#dynamic-class-names
Another tricky solution that worked for me is to use variable with forced type of the possible className values (in typescript) like :
export type TTextSizeClass =
'text-xl' |
'text-2xl' |
'text-3xl' |
'text-4xl' |
'text-5xl' |
'text-6xl' |
'text-7xl' |
'text-8xl' |
'text-9xl'
;
...
const type : number = 6 ;
const textSizeClass : TTextSizeClass = type != 1 ? `text-${type}xl` : 'text-xl';
...
<div className={`font-semibold ${textSizeClass} ${className}`}>text</div>
As Ed Lucas said:
The CSS file generated by Tailwind will only include classes that it recognizes when it scans your code, which means that dynamically generated classes (e.g. col-span-${colSpan}) will not be included
But now could use safeListing
and
tailwind-safelist-generator package to "pregenerate" our dynamics styles.
With tailwind-safelist-generator, you can generate a safelist.txt file for your theme based on a set of patterns.
Tailwind's JIT mode scans your codebase for class names, and generates
CSS based on what it finds. If a class name is not listed explicitly,
like text-${error ? 'red' : 'green'}-500, Tailwind won't discover it.
To ensure these utilities are generated, you can maintain a file that
lists them explicitly, like a safelist.txt file in the root of your
project.
I am trying to apply gradient to my nav links but it is not showing any results.
This is my code
<NavLink className="block p-4 pr-0 mr-3 bg-gradient-to-br from-purple-500
to-indigo-500 rounded-tr-full rounded-br-full text-textPrimary
hover:text-white text-xl" to="/dashboard">
<i class="fas fa-laptop-house mr-3"></i>
Dashboard
</NavLink>
I am using tailwind css and react
It looks like there is no color schema in your config.
Just add this to your tailwind.config.js.
const colors = require("tailwindcss/colors");
module.exports = {
theme: {
colors: {
blue: {
...colors.blue,
"your custom blue color"
},
green: colors.green,
pink: colors.pink
...etc
}
},
};
It should work. Just pick colors you want to include in your schema. ...colors.blue will give you all shades of blue. After this, gradient with blue color should work.
This should work fine (https://play.tailwindcss.com/xnQDaASzOL).
There might be an issue with you <NavLink /> component. Does the className props is goodly propagate to the inner component ?
Indeed, React does not understand className for custom component until you propagate it to the inner component, see this answer.
Basically this is the same question as this one, but for the React Bootstrap Carousel component.
So I have a working carousel but I want a text to be on top of it, that doesn't move while the images change.
This is my working Carousel code snippet - as you can see I added my overlay text at the bottom of the loop. It does stay on top, just like I want, but it also adds an additional empty carousel item, which I don't want. (I tried making this work in js-fiddle and codesandbox.io but I'm not smart enough...)
import React from "react";
import Carousel from "react-bootstrap/Carousel";
import "./styles.css";
export default function App() {
let carouselImgs = [
{
title: "Test1",
img: "https://images.app.goo.gl/FrGs95rzsNfc6YkW8"
},
{
title: "Test2",
img: "https://images.app.goo.gl/tPkFSMH796PmV3pq9"
}
];
return (
<Carousel className="App" interval={3000}>
{carouselImgs.map(carouselImg => (
<Carousel.Item
key={carouselImg.title}
className="oneness-container mb-2"
>
<img src={carouselImg.img} className="img-fluid rounded-lg" alt="" />
<Carousel.Caption>
<div className="bottom-center">
<h3 className="rounded px-2 py-1 d-inline">
{carouselImg.title}
</h3>
</div>
</Carousel.Caption>
</Carousel.Item>
))}
{<h1 className="overlay">Overlay title</h1>}
</Carousel>
);
}
CSS of .overlay:
.overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
I like the comment on that answer - that says to this:
<div id="carousel" class="carousel slide">
<!-- Wrapper for slides -->
<div class="carousel-inner" >
<!-- items -->
</div>
</div>
...place [the overlay div] inside the carousel-inner, but still in a div separate from your "item" divs...
But unfortunately I don't know how to get inside the carousel-inner since the React Bootstrap component doesn't show it like that.
