CSS transitions optimization guide for pseudo-elements in a complex layout with Tailwind CSS
I've been researching this but I'm performance testing and I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm trying to implement a hover effect using CSS transitions on a pseudo-element, but it seems that the transition isn't being triggered as expected. I'm using Tailwind CSS version 2.2.19 along with custom CSS. My goal is to have a pseudo-element appear with a fade-in effect when hovering over a button. Here's the relevant CSS code I'm working with: ```css .button { @apply relative inline-block p-4 bg-blue-500 text-white; } .button::after { content: ''; @apply absolute inset-0 bg-blue-700 transition-opacity duration-300; opacity: 0; } .button:hover::after { opacity: 1; } ``` However, when I try this, the pseudo-element doesn't fade in; it simply appears without any transition effect, leading to a rather jarring experience. I've confirmed that the button's class is correctly applied and that no other styles are interfering with the pseudo-element's visibility. I also tried adding `will-change: opacity;` to the pseudo-element, but that didn't resolve the scenario. I suspect it may be related to how Tailwind handles utility classes or possibly a specificity scenario. Is there something I'm missing or an alternative way to achieve this effect with Tailwind? I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. This is my first time working with Css 3.11. I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Css. Cheers for any assistance!
