🎨 Tailwind CSS: Styling Inner Components on Parent Hover Using "group"

πŸ”₯ Have you ever wanted to style an inner component when hovering over its parent container in Tailwind CSS?πŸ€” By default, Tailwind’s utility classes apply directly to the element being interacted with.

πŸ‘‰ That’s where the group class comes in! πŸš€

🎨 How It Works

βœ… Add group class to the parent element.
βœ… Use group-hover class on the child element.

Example

<div class="group p-6 bg-white rounded-lg">
  <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold">Product Title</h2>
  <p class="text-gray-600">Some product description here.</p>
  <button class="mt-4 px-4 py-2 bg-blue-500 text-white rounded group-hover:bg-green-500">
    Buy Now
  </button>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✨ Benefits

πŸ’Ž Enables complex interactions without custom CSS.
πŸ’Ž Improves readability by keeping styles inline.

Happy coding! πŸš€
