Basic Usage

Changing animation delay

Use the anim-delay-{amount} utilities to control an element’s animation-delay.

<button class="animate-bounce anim-delay-150 anim-duration-300 ...">
	Button A
</button>
<button class="animate-bounce anim-delay-300 anim-duration-300 ...">
	Button B
</button>
<button class="animate-bounce anim-delay-700 anim-duration-300 ...">
	Button C
</button>

Applying Conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:anim-delay-0 to only apply the anim-delay-0 utility on hover.

<div class="animate-bounce anim-duration-300 anim-delay-150 hover:anim-delay-0">
	<!-- ... -->
</div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:anim-delay-0 to apply the anim-delay-0 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="animate-bounce anim-duration-300 anim-delay-150 md:anim-delay-0">
	<!-- ... -->
</div>

To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, Dark Mode and other media query modifiers.

Using custom values

Customizing your theme

By default, Tailwind provides animation-delay utilities for all of the built-in browser keyword options. You can customize these values by editing theme.animationDelay or theme.extend.animationDelay in your tailwind.config.js file.

// @filename tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
	theme: {
		extend: {
			animationDelay: {
				"2s": "2s",
			},
		},
	},
}

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off animation-delay value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

<div class="anim-delay-[2s]">
	<!-- ... -->
</div>

Learn more about arbitrary value support in the arbitrary values documentation.
