Reproduction URL

https://play.tailwindcss.com/iVIJhwfSBR – Funny thing here: --tw-transform gets directly added to div:after and there is no global definition of that variable. Maybe v3.0.1 is the reason for that 😕

Describe your issue

Edit: It seems like this relates to https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/6500

I am using web components which import a shared CSS file that only contains @tailwind base. When trying to use transform utilities I can also see transform: var(--tw-transform);.

The problem is that the variable is not defined since that does not live in Tailwind base:

*, ::before, ::after {
  ...

  --tw-transform: translateX(var(--tw-translate-x)) translateY(var(--tw-translate-y)) rotate(var(--tw-rotate)) skewX(var(--tw-skew-x)) skewY(var(--tw-skew-y)) scaleX(var(--tw-scale-x)) scaleY(var(--tw-scale-y));
  ...
}

Is it possible that we get this moved like the other globals like shadows or content?

*, ::before, ::after {
  --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000;
  --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000;
  --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000;
  --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000;
}

::before,
::after {
  --tw-content: '';
}

Thank you!

I have the same issue. I’m using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, twin.macro, and styled-components.

When applying the classes inside the styled-component Div like this, it doesn’t work (with or without the transform class) …

.div {
    ${tw`transform -translate-y-1/2`}
}

However, applying the class -translate-y-1/2 directly to the <div> element inside the component does work perfectly 😕

<div className="-translate-y-1/2">

I’m not sure if it’s a twin.macro issue in my case or is it a configuration issue or what.

In my case, @tailwind base; was not added. After adding transform started working
