tailwindcss-extrude

A custom TailwindCSS plugin for an extruded style.

Installation

$ npm i tailwindcss-extrude

Add the plugin to tailwind.config.cjs:

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

Usage

At its core, tailwindcss-extrude uses a box shadow and a translate transform to create the illusion of an extrusion. It cannot be used with a regular box shadow or other transforms.

Give an element an extrusion by applying the following classes:

• extrude-{color}
• extrude-x-{depth} or -extrude-x-{depth}
• extrude-y-{depth}

Extending extrude depths

By default, depth can be:

{
  DEFAULT: '2px', // if no depth is provided, defaults to 2px.
  0: '0',
  2: '4px',
  3: '6px',
  4: '8px',
  6: '12px',
  8: '16px'
}

This plugin uses the extrude key in the Tailwind CSS config file. You can extend the lengths used for extrude depth here.

module.exports = {
  ...
  theme: {
    extend: {
      'one-line': '1em',
    }
  },
  plugins: [require('tailwindcss-extrude')]
};

<button class="extrude-black extrude-y-one-line"/>
