🔥 Have you ever wanted to style an inner component when hovering over its parent container in Tailwind CSS?🤔 By default, Tailwind’s utility classes apply directly to the element being interacted with.
👉 That’s where the group
class comes in! 🚀
🎨 How It Works
✅ Add group
class to the parent element.
✅ 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>
✨ Benefits
💎 Enables complex interactions without custom CSS.
💎 Improves readability by keeping styles inline.
Happy coding! 🚀
