mask-type

Examples

Basic example

Use the mask-type-alpha and mask-type-luminance utilities to control the type of an SVG mask:

<svg>
  <mask id="blob1" class="mask-type-alpha fill-gray-700/70">
    <path d="..."></path>
  </mask>
  <image href="/img/mountains.jpg" height="100%" width="100%" mask="url(#blob1)" />
</svg>
<svg>
  <mask id="blob2" class="mask-type-luminance fill-gray-700/70">
    <path d="..."></path>
  </mask>
  <image href="/img/mountains.jpg" height="100%" width="100%" mask="url(#blob2)" />
</svg>

When using mask-type-luminance the luminance value of the SVG mask determines visibility, so sticking with grayscale colors will produce the most predictable results. With mask-alpha, the opacity of the SVG mask determines the visibility of the masked element.

Responsive design

Prefix a mask-type utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<mask class="mask-type-alpha md:mask-type-luminance ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</mask>
