I'm using Tailwind CSS with a custom prefix tw-
for all classes. However, I'm having trouble getting the group-hover functionality to work correctly. Here's the code I'm working with:
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com/3.2.4"></script>
<script>
tailwind.config = { prefix: 'tw-' }
</script>
<div class="tw-flex tw-h-screen tw-justify-center tw-items-center">
<div class="tw-group tw-text-xl">
<strong class="tw-group-hover:tw-text-red-500">Hover on me </strong>
<strong class="tw-group-hover:tw-text-green-500">the texts will be </strong>
<strong class="tw-group-hover:tw-text-blue-500">of different colors</strong>
</div>
</div>
I've also tried
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com/3.2.4"></script>
<script>
tailwind.config = { prefix: 'tw-' }
</script>
<div class="tw-flex tw-h-screen tw-justify-center tw-items-center">
<div class="tw-group tw-text-xl">
<strong class="tw-group-hover:text-red-500">Hover on me </strong>
<strong class="tw-group-hover:text-green-500">the texts will be </strong>
<strong class="tw-group-hover:ext-blue-500">of different colors</strong>
</div>
</div>
The following works without a prefix
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com/3.2.4"></script>
<div class="flex h-screen justify-center items-center">
<div class="group text-xl">
<strong class="group-hover:text-red-500">Hover on me </strong>
<strong class="group-hover:text-green-500">the texts will be </strong>
<strong class="group-hover:text-blue-500">of different colors</strong>
</div>
</div>
As per the documentation:
It’s important to understand that this prefix is added after any variant modifiers. That means that classes with responsive or state modifiers like
sm:
orhover:
will still have the responsive or state modifier first, with your custom prefix appearing after the colon:<div class="tw-text-lg md:tw-text-xl tw-bg-red-500 hover:tw-bg-blue-500"> <!-- --> </div>
So for your situation, it would generally be group-hover:tw-<class name>
:
tailwind.config = { prefix: 'tw-' }
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com/3.2.4"></script>
<div class="tw-flex tw-h-screen tw-justify-center tw-items-center">
<div class="tw-group tw-text-xl">
<strong class="group-hover:tw-text-red-500">Hover on me </strong>
<strong class="group-hover:tw-text-green-500">the texts will be </strong>
<strong class="group-hover:tw-text-blue-500">of different colors</strong>
</div>
</div>
