Particle Burst Tailwind Close Button

Eight particles from one 6px dot: a single keyframe animates eight box-shadow copies outward and shrinks them, while the × squashes and pops. The CSS original played it on :active, so a quick tap cut the burst off after a frame or two; the port triggers it with a data-burst attribute that the script clears on animationend, so every tap gets the full 550ms.

What changed in the port

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

  • Both keyframes moved into @theme; the eight-shadow burst now references var(--color-tcb19-p1/p2) theme colours directly.
  • Bug fix: the CSS original ran on :active, so quick taps killed the burst after a frame or two and keyboard Enter never showed it. A data-burst attribute cleared on animationend gives every input the full animation.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: reduced motion uses animate-none! so it beats the data variant, and the stage caption rose to 7:1.

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const btn = document.getElementById('tcb-19-btn');
  if (!btn || btn.dataset.wired) return;
  btn.dataset.wired = '1';
  const dot = btn.querySelector('[data-burst-dot]');
  const fire = () => {
    btn.removeAttribute('data-burst');
    requestAnimationFrame(() => requestAnimationFrame(() => btn.setAttribute('data-burst', '')));
  };
  btn.addEventListener('pointerdown', fire);
  btn.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => { if ((e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') && !e.repeat) fire(); });
  dot.addEventListener('animationend', () => btn.removeAttribute('data-burst'));
})();
```

How this works

Why not :active. :active ends the instant the pointer lifts; on a fast tap that is ~60ms, and the animation is torn down mid-flight. An attribute set on pointerdown and cleared on animationend decouples the effect from the gesture:

btn.setAttribute('data-burst', '');
burst.addEventListener('animationend', () => btn.removeAttribute('data-burst'));

The particles are the eight compass points at 22px, then 26px with a -3px spread that shrinks each dot to nothing.

Make it yours

  • More particles: add shadow layers at the 22.5° points (keep the same count in every keyframe).
  • Two-colour burst: already alternating p1/p2; add a third token for confetti.
  • Bigger blast: scale the offsets (22/15 → 30/21).

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Every keyframe must list the same number of shadows or the browser cannot interpolate them.
  • Re-triggering while the attribute is still set does nothing — remove it first (the script handles this).
