Installation

Add the tailwindcss-bg-patterns plugin to your project:

• Install using npm:
  npm install --save-dev tailwindcss-bg-patterns
• Install using yarn:
  yarn add -D tailwindcss-bg-patterns
• Install using pnpm:
  pnpm add -D tailwindcss-bg-patterns

Usage

Once installed, configure it in your tailwind.config.js as follows:

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    patterns: {
      opacities: {
        100: 1,
        80: 0.80,
        60: 0.60,
        40: 0.40,
        20: 0.20,
        10: 0.10,
        5: 0.05,
      },
      sizes: {
        1: '0.25rem',
        2: '0.5rem',
        4: '1rem',
        6: '1.5rem',
        8: '2rem',
        16: '4rem',
        20: '5rem',
        24: '6rem',
        32: '8rem',
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    require('tailwindcss-bg-patterns'),
  ],
};

Think of your configuration as setting a magnificent landscape where a painter prepares various brushes and techniques to create beautiful patterns. Just as the painter selects colors and sizes for their strokes, you define the opacities and sizes for the background patterns in your project.

Background Patterns

The plugin includes a plethora of patterns:

• Lines (pattern-lines)
• Vertical Lines (pattern-vertical-lines)
• Diagonal Lines (pattern-diagonal-lines)
• Rectangles (pattern-rectangles)
• Rhombus (pattern-rhombus)
• Dots (pattern-dots)
• Boxes (pattern-boxes)
• Cross (pattern-cross)
• Zigzag (pattern-zigzag)
• Zigzag 3D (pattern-zigzag-3d)
• Isometric (pattern-isometric)
• Wavy (pattern-wavy)
• Triangles (pattern-triangles)
• Moon (pattern-moon)
• Paper (pattern-paper)

Utilities

The plugin provides utility classes for controlling foreground and background colors, opacity, and size:

• Opacity: pattern-opacity-80 applies an opacity of 0.8. Available options include pattern-opacity-100, pattern-opacity-80, pattern-opacity-60, pattern-opacity-40, pattern-opacity-20, pattern-opacity-10, pattern-opacity-5.
• Size: pattern-size-8 applies a size of 2rem. Available options include pattern-size-1, pattern-size-2, pattern-size-4, pattern-size-6, pattern-size-8, pattern-size-16, pattern-size-20, pattern-size-24, pattern-size-32.
• Color: Use pattern-indigo-600 for foreground and pattern-bg-white for background. Colors will be extracted from your theme.

Example

To apply an isometric background pattern to a div, use the following code:

<div class="w-56 h-56 pattern-isometric pattern-indigo-600 pattern-bg-transparent pattern-opacity-60 pattern-size-8">
</div>

Which results in:
