Forms

In this chapter, we will explore how to style different form elements using Tailwind CSS, including inputs, textareas, radio buttons, and switches.

Inputs

Inputs are essential for user data entry. Tailwind provides utility classes to style inputs effectively.

Textareas

Textareas are used for multiline text input. They can be styled similarly to inputs.

Radio Buttons

Radio buttons allow users to select one option from a set.

form-radio applies default Tailwind CSS styling for radio buttons.

Switches

Switches (toggles) are used to represent binary choices. While Tailwind CSS doesn’t have a default utility class for switches, you can combine utilities to create one.

• sr-only: Hides the checkbox but keeps it accessible for screen readers;
• transition: Enables smooth transition for the switch dot;
• Custom CSS is used to handle the checked state.
