Tailwindcss Nth Child Variants Plugin

This repository is a plug in for Tailwindcss

Installation

Install the plugin via npm:

npm install tailwindcss-nth-child

tailwind.config.js

Create an instance like this.

const Nth =  require('tailwindcss-nth-child');
const plugin =  new  Nth('<nth-value>')
module.exports = {
// ...
variants: {
    // extend the backgroundColor variants
    extend:{
      backgroundColor: ['nth-child'],
    }
},
plugins: [
    plugin.nthChild() // add-plugin
],
}

Extending the variants is important.

Value of <nth-value>

You need to give nth-value in constructor method. Check the below examples.

odd

To select odd child:

const plugin =  new  Nth('odd')

even

To select even child

const plugin =  new  Nth('even')

first child

It is simple just write 1 inside of constructor method. To select first child:

const plugin =  new  Nth('1')

(x)n+(y)

You can write which elements you want to select accordingly. You can check here for usage of css nth-child

const plugin =  new  Nth('2n+1')

Examples

Lets test with even child

const  Example  =  ()  =>  {
return  (
<div className="nth-child:bg-red-400">
	<div  className="">Example 1</div>
	<div className="">Example 2</div>
	<div className="">Example 3</div>
	<div className="">Example 4</div>
	<div className="">Example 5</div>
	<div className="">Example 6</div>
</div>
);
};
