Transitions & Animation

transition-behavior

Utilities to control the behavior of CSS transitions.

ClassStyles
transition-normal
transition-behavior: normal;
transition-discrete
transition-behavior: allow-discrete;

Examples

Basic example

Use the transition-discrete utility to start transitions when changing properties with a discrete set of values, such as elements that change from hidden to block:

Interact with the checkboxes to see the expected behavior

<label class="peer ...">  <input type="checkbox" checked /></label><button class="hidden transition-all not-peer-has-checked:opacity-0 peer-has-checked:block ...">  I hide</button><label class="peer ...">  <input type="checkbox" checked /></label><button class="hidden transition-all transition-discrete not-peer-has-checked:opacity-0 peer-has-checked:block ...">  I fade out</button>

Responsive design

Prefix a transition-behavior utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<button class="transition-discrete md:transition-normal ...">  <!-- ... --></button>
