About tailwindcss-opacity

TailwindCSS Opacity Plugin

Contribution to the TailwindCSS community and product.

Currently TailwindCSS only offers opacity at the element level, not the attribute level.

This plugin provides granular, or optionally basic control over RGBA/"opacity" at the attribute level to complement your TailwindCSS theme('colors').

The optional basic control uses theme('opacity') values.

Features

• Simple option to generate RGBA attributes based solely on theme('colors') and theme('opacity') • Granular control through config so that your generated file doesn't explode with unused classes • Opacity Opt-In pluginConfig.opacities: number[] • Variant Opt-In pluginConfig.variants: string[] • Attribute Opt-Out pluginConfig.excludedAttributes: string[] • Handles theme('colors') recursively • RGBA available on all color defining CSS attributes

1. Property: color, Prefix: text 2. Property: backgroundColor, Prefix: bg 3. Property: borderColor, Prefix: border 4. Property: borderTopColor, Prefix: border-t 5. Property: borderRightColor, Prefix: border-r 6. Property: borderBottomColor, Prefix: border-b 7. Property: borderLeftColor, Prefix: border-l 8. Property: stroke, Prefix: stroke 9.

• _Unreleased 3.0.0_ Color specific control for super granularity.
