Tailwind Primary and Secondary Button Pair

One shared recipe, two visual weights, and a container that stacks them when the slot is narrow — not when the viewport is. The port is the honest test of "utilities can't do variants": they can, and the shared part stays literally identical because both buttons carry the same twenty classes and differ in four.

What changed in the port

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

  • Utilities: everything structural — the container query, both variants, all four states. CSS: only the dark-scheme token block and forced-colors.
  • The color-mix() hover derivations became explicit @theme tokens (--color-tb02-accent-deep, --color-tb02-tint, --color-tb02-line-strong). That is a real gain: the hover colours are now nameable, inspectable and reusable as bg-*/ring-* utilities instead of being computed inline in one rule.
  • inset-ring-1 is the v4 utility that makes the "no border on either variant" trick a one-word statement. In the CSS original it needed an inset 0 0 0 var(--ring-w) box-shadow and a paired --ring-w token.
  • The base recipe is repeated verbatim on both buttons. That is the intended trade: duplication the editor can see, rather than an indirection it cannot.

How this works

Variants become two short class lists, not a token indirection. The CSS version defined --fill/--ink/--ring and swapped them per variant. In Tailwind the shared recipe is the repeated base and the difference is stated plainly:

<!-- primary   --> bg-tb02-accent text-tb02-on-accent shadow-[…]
<!-- secondary --> bg-tb02-surface text-tb02-text inset-ring-1 inset-ring-tb02-line

Four classes carry the entire hierarchy. Every state, size and focus behaviour is byte-identical between the two, which is the property the token indirection existed to guarantee.

The container query survives intact. @container on the wrapper and @max-[22rem]:basis-full on the buttons is the direct translation of container-type:inline-size plus @container (max-width:22rem) — and it is shorter, because the wrapper no longer needs a named breakpoint at all.

DOM order still carries importance. The primary is first in source, so keyboard and screen-reader order match visual weight; the stacked layout keeps it first too.

Make it yours

  • A third, quieter weight is one class list: bg-transparent text-tb02-muted hover:bg-tb02-tint.
  • Move the stacking point by editing @max-[22rem]: — measured on the wrapper, so the pair behaves correctly in a sidebar and in a hero.
  • Destructive pair: point --color-tb02-accent at your danger colour; the glow shadow re-derives from the same token.
  • Match your inputs by aligning min-h-12 and rounded-xl with your form controls.
  • Cancel-first platforms: add flex-row-reverse to the wrapper, no markup change.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • A secondary button must still pass 4.5:1 on its label. Grey-on-grey is the most common failure in button pairs — test the text, not the border.
  • @container creates a containment context; absolutely-positioned children inside the wrapper now resolve against it.
  • Don't reach for border on only one variant. inset-ring-* is drawn inside the box, so both buttons stay exactly the same height.
  • Two visually equal buttons is not hierarchy. If both read as primary, users hesitate measurably longer.
  • gap-3 on a wrapping flex row spaces both axes, so the stacked layout is already correct — margins would double up.

Browser support

ChromeSafariFirefoxEdge
111+16.4+128+111+

Container queries need Chrome 105 / Safari 16 / Firefox 110, comfortably below Tailwind v4's own floor; without them the pair still wraps via flex-wrap and simply doesn't go full-width. inset-ring-* is a v4 utility.
