Usage

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

<button class="transition delay-150 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Hover me</button>
<button class="transition delay-300 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Hover me</button>
<button class="transition delay-700 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Hover me</button>

Responsive

To control an element’s transition-delay at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing transition-delay utility. For example, use md:delay-500 to apply the delay-500 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Customizing

Delay values

By default Tailwind provides eight general purpose transition-delay utilities. You change, add, or remove these by customizing the transitionDelay section of your Tailwind theme config.

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    theme: {
      extend: {
        transitionDelay: {
+         '0': '0ms',
+         '2000': '2000ms',
        }
      }
    }
  }

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

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for transition-delay utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the transition-delay utilities by modifying the transitionDelay property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      // ...
-     transitionDelay: ['responsive'],
+     transitionDelay: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the transition-delay utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the transitionDelay property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     transitionDelay: false,
    }
  }
