Installation

To install the package, run

  plugins: [
    require('tailwindcss-elevation'),
  ]
}

To learn more about configuring your Tailwind CSS installation, see https://tailwindcss.com/docs/configuration.

Configuration

To change the default configurations, you can include an options object:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('tailwindcss-elevation')(
      {
        color: '77,192,181',
        opacityBoost: '0.23'
      }
    )
  ]
}

Options accept the following properties:

color changes the default box-shadow base color and accepts an RGB (e.g. '77,192,181') or HEX triplet (e.g. '#4dc0b5') as its value. When using a CSS custom property (variable) as the value, you have to use an RGB triplet.
opacityBoost is added to the default box-shadow opacity and accepts a number between 0.0 and 1.0

Basic usage

You can apply elevation to an element using the .elevation-{z-value} utilities.

<button class="elevation-2">Button</button>

The z values range from 0 to 24.
