Tailwind CSS Clip-Path

The clip-path CSS property creates a clipping region that sets what part of an element should be shown. Parts that are inside the region are shown, while those outside are hidden.

Applying conditionally

You let conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers.

<div class="hover:clip-path-ellipse">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries

<div class="md:clip-path-revert">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing your theme

You change, add, or remove utilities by editing the theme.clipPath section of your Tailwind config.

// tailwind.config.js
{
  theme: {
    clipPath: {
        mypolygon: "polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 0 calc(100% - 1rem))",
    },
  plugins: [
    require('tailwind-clip-path'),
  ],
}

And use:

<img src="" class="clip-path-mypolygon" />

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.
