Background Origin

Usage

Use bg-origin-border, bg-origin-padding, and bg-origin-content to control where an element’s background is rendered.

Responsive

To control the background-origin property at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing background-origin utility. For example, use md:bg-origin-padding to apply the bg-origin-padding utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="bg-origin-border md:bg-origin-padding ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for background-origin utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the background-origin utilities by modifying the backgroundOrigin property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       backgroundOrigin: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the background-origin utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the backgroundOrigin property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     backgroundOrigin: false,
    }
  }
