Configuration

You can configure which values and variants are generated by this plugin under the animationDelay key in your tailwind.config.js file:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    animationDelay: {
      100: "100ms",
      200: "200ms",
      300: "300ms",
      400: "400ms",
      "-3000": "-3000ms",
      "-7000": "-7000ms",
    },
  },
  variants: {
    animationDelay: ["focus"],
  },
}

Extending the default theme

If you’d like to preserve the default values for a theme option but also add new values, add your extensions under the theme.extend key in your configuration file.

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      animationDelay: {
        120: "120ms",
        250: "250ms",
        350: "350ms",
        450: "450ms",
        "-3500": "-3500ms",
        "-7500": "-7500ms",
      },
    },
  },
}
