transition-delay

Utilities for controlling the delay of CSS transitions.

Class	Styles
`delay-<number>`
`transition-delay: <number>ms;`

| | delay-(<custom-property>) |

transition-delay: var(<custom-property>);

| | delay-[<value>] |

transition-delay: <value>;

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

Hover each button to see the expected behavior

delay-150

delay-300

delay-700

<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>

For situations where the user has specified that they prefer reduced motion, you can conditionally apply animations and transitions using the motion-safe and motion-reduce variants:

<button type="button" class="delay-300 motion-reduce:delay-0 ...">  <!-- ... --></button>

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.

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>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
