Utilities for controlling the delay of CSS transitions.

delay-(<custom-property>) | transition-delay: var(<custom-property>); |
delay-[<value>] | transition-delay: <value>; |
Examples
Basic example
Use utilities like delay-150 and delay-700 to set the transition delay of an element in milliseconds:
Hover each button to see the expected behavior
delay-150
delay-300
delay-700
<button class="transition delay-150 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Button A</button><button class="transition delay-300 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Button B</button><button class="transition delay-700 duration-300 ease-in-out ...">Button C</button>Using a custom value
Use the delay-[<value>] syntax to set the transition delay based on a completely custom value:
<button class="delay-[1s,250ms] ..."> <!-- ... --></button>For CSS variables, you can also use the delay-(<custom-property>) syntax:
<button class="delay-(--my-delay) ..."> <!-- ... --></button>This is just a shorthand for delay-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Responsive design
Prefix a transition-delay utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<button class="delay-150 md:delay-300 ..."> <!-- ... --></button>Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
