TailwindCSS plugin that allows using degrees in CSS gradients

Installation

Install the plugin

Npm:

npm install tailwindcss-gradient

Yarn:

yarn add tailwindcss-gradient

Pnpm:

pnpm add tailwindcss-gradient

Bun:

bun add tailwindcss-gradient

Add plugin to your tailwind.config.js plugins

// tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
    plugins: [
        require('tailwindcss-gradient'),
    ],
}

Usage

Use it as bg-gradient-{degrees} utility to specify linear gradient angle

<div class="h-40 from-red-500 to-blue-500 bg-gradient-90">
    90 deg gradient direction
</div> 

List of available default utilities:

• bg-gradient-0
• bg-gradient-10
• bg-gradient-15
• bg-gradient-20
• bg-gradient-25
• bg-gradient-30
• bg-gradient-45
• bg-gradient-60
• bg-gradient-90
• bg-gradient-120
• bg-gradient-135
• bg-gradient-180

Each will generate CSS like background-image: linear-gradient($value, var(--tw-gradient-stops))

Alias

Since v1.1.0 every utility available under bg-gradient-to alias, e.g. bg-gradient-to-45 is same as bg-gradient-45 - it just make more sense as it points direction

Configuration

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
    theme: {
        extend: {
            bgGradientDeg: {
                75: '75deg',
            }
        }
    },
}
