Getting started
TAOS can be included as a plugin into an existing Tailwind CSS project and will allow you to add responsive Tailwind CSS utility classes for animation on scroll.
Installation
Install the plugin from npm:
npm install taos --save
Then add to your main style.css file:
@custom-variant taos (&.taos-init:where(:not(.taos-animate)));
html.js :where([class*="taos:"]:not(.taos-init)) {
visibility: hidden;
}
@source inline('!duration-[0ms] !delay-[0ms]');
If you are still using Tailwind CSS v3, add the plugin and safelist classes to your tailwind.config.js file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
// ...
},
plugins: [
// ...
require('taos/plugin'),
],
safelist: [
'!duration-[0ms]',
'!delay-[0ms]',
'html.js :where([class*="taos:"]:not(.taos-init))',
]
}
Add JavaScript scripts
Add the CDN script or download and paste before the closing </body> tag
<script src="https://unpkg.com/taos@1.0.5/dist/taos.js"></script>
</body>
Add script in <head>
<script>document.documentElement.classList.add('js')</script>
</head>
TAOS Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you use MutationObserver instead of IntersectionObserver
MutationObserver is a cleaner solution to check if the element is in view on page load and refresh. With IntersectionObserver it would require more code on top just to handle that part.
JS Frameworks
Inspiration
- AOS: is a great library and works by using custom classes such as aos-animate to animate elements.
- Tailwind: created an easy to use utility library that is easily extendable and flexible. Their variant and just in time compiler changed the game for developers.
