Tailwind Background Image



Tailwind Background Image

Tailwind Background Image class includes several classes for different directions, such as top, bottom, left, and right.

For instance, using the class “bg-gradient-to-t” sets the linear gradient to the top, while “bg-gradient-to-r” sets the linear-gradient to the right.

It is essential to note that you can specify colors using the following syntax:

“from-red-400 via-blue-500 to-green-500.”

In above example, “from” statement specifies the starting color (red-400), while the “via” keyword indicates the intermediate color (blue-500), and the “to” statement indicates the last color (green-500).

Syntax

To use the Tailwind Background Image class, you need to include the class in an element’s class attribute, as shown in the syntax below:

<element class="bg-gradient-to-{direction}"></element>

Tailwind Background Image Values:

  1. bg-none : This class removes any linear-gradient.
  2. bg-gradient-to-t : Using this class, the linear-gradient is set to the top.
  3. bg-gradient-to-tr : Using this class, the linear-gradient is set to the top right.
  4. bg-gradient-to-r : This class sets the linear-gradient to right.
  5. bg-gradient-to-br : Linear-gradient is set to the bottom right using this class.
  6. bg-gradient-to-b : Linear gradient is applied to the bottom using this class.

  8. bg-gradient-to-l : Using this class, the linear-gradient is set to the left.
