Tailwind Button Group with Ripple Click Effect (Radar Shockwave Feedback)

A reactor-control action row with satisfying click feedback: a radar shockwave expands from exactly where you clicked, the primary action breathes with an @property-animated glow, and a console line logs each command. The CSS original only rippled from the centre while the mouse was held (quick clicks barely showed); a tiny script now sets --x/--y and re-arms data-fire:after:animate-tbg24-wave on every press.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • :active::after{animation:…} became data-fire:after:animate-tbg24-wave; the per-button color-mix() borders and hovers moved into arbitrary values reading the inline --c.
  • box-shadow:0 0 var(--btn-24-g) -2px var(--c) became shadow-[0_0_var(--tbg24-g)_-2px_var(--c)], still driven by @property.
  • UI upgrade: the wave now starts at the pointer and always completes — the original played only while the button was held, so quick clicks showed nothing.
  • UI upgrade: a console line confirms each command (and announces it via role="log"), and the Abort red was lifted for 5:1 on the dark key.

Demo: Tailwind Button Group with Ripple Click Effect (Radar Shockwave Feedback)
Source: https://codefronts.com/components/tailwind-css-button-groups/tailwind-button-group-ripple-click-effect/

A reactor-control action row with satisfying click feedback: a radar shockwave expands from exactly where you clicked, the primary action breathes with an @property-animated glow, and a console line logs each command. The CSS original only rippled from the centre while the mouse was held (quick clicks barely showed); a tiny script now sets --x/--y and re-arms data-fire:after:animate-tbg24-wave on every press.

## JavaScript

    if (panel.dataset.wired) return;
    panel.dataset.wired = '1';
    const log = panel.querySelector('[data-tbg24-log]');
    panel.querySelectorAll('[data-tbg24-btn]').forEach((btn) => {
      const fire = (x, y) => {
        btn.style.setProperty('--x', x);
        btn.style.setProperty('--y', y);
        btn.removeAttribute('data-fire');
        void btn.offsetWidth;
        btn.setAttribute('data-fire', '');
      };
      btn.addEventListener('pointerdown', (e) => {
        const r = btn.getBoundingClientRect();
        fire((e.clientX - r.left) + 'px', (e.clientY - r.top) + 'px');
      });
      btn.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
        if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') fire('50%', '50%');
      });
      btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
        const time = new Date().toLocaleTimeString([], { hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit', second: '2-digit' });
        log.textContent = '› ' + btn.textContent.trim().toUpperCase() + ' acknowledged · ' + time;
      });
    });
  });
})();
```

How this works

Re-arming an animation. CSS won't replay an animation that's already applied, so the script toggles the attribute with a reflow in between:

btn.style.setProperty('--x', x + 'px');
btn.removeAttribute('data-fire');
void btn.offsetWidth;
btn.setAttribute('data-fire', '');

Keyboard activation (Enter/Space) has no pointer position, so the ripple starts from the centre. The wave runs to completion even on the briefest tap.

Make it yours

  • Bigger wave: the scale: 2.6 end value in tbg24-wave.
  • Button colours: each button's inline --c.
  • No log: delete the console paragraph and the two log lines in the script.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Keep overflow-hidden and isolate on buttons, or the wave escapes and slides under siblings.
  • Destructive actions (Abort) deserve a confirmation step in production.
  • The ripple is decorative; state changes must also be communicated in text (the log).
