transition-delay

Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like delay-150 and delay-700 to set the transition delay of an element in milliseconds:

<button class="transition delay-150 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Button A</button>
<button class="transition delay-300 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Button B</button>
<button class="transition delay-700 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Button C</button>

Using a custom value

Use the delay-[<value>] syntax to set the transition delay based on a completely custom value:

<button class="delay-[1s,250ms] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</button>

For CSS variables, you can also use the delay-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<button class="delay-(--my-delay) ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</button>

This is just a shorthand for delay-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

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

<button class="delay-150 md:delay-300 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</button>
