Tailwind Liquid Wave Fill Radio Button

Circular options that fill with liquid when selected: an aqua wave rises inside the checked circle, its surface rolling with two counter-rotating crests. The port splits the motion across v4's individual transform properties — translate raises the water, rotate rolls it — so the rise transitions while the roll loops, with no combined keyframe.

What changed in the port

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

  • Two keyframes (roll and rollr) became one, played reverse by the back crest's token.
  • The translate that was baked into every keyframe moved to translate-y-* utilities, so rise and roll are independent properties.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the rise now eases smoothly when the loop starts (it jumped to 64% in the original, because the keyframe overrode the transition), and each roast gained a tasting note.
  • UI upgrade: labels rose from #6d8791 (3.8:1) to 5.9:1, and the cups grew to 88px.

How this works

Independent transforms are the upgrade. The CSS original baked translateY(-64%) into both roll keyframes, so the rise jumped when the loop started. v4's translate-* and the keyframes' rotate are separate properties that compose, so the water eases up over a second while it starts rolling.

The wave illusion. A huge rounded square rotating behind a circular window shows only its edge, which rises and falls as its corners pass — a wave with zero paths.

Make it yours

  • Water colour: --color-trb18-aqua; the back crest derives darker.
  • Fill level: -translate-y-[64%].
  • Choppiness: lower rounded-[42%] toward 38%.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • The cup must clip (overflow-hidden rounded-full) or the square water body shows.
  • Keep both wave layers pointer-events-none.
  • Infinite rotation is exactly what reduced motion should remove — the static fill remains.

Individual transform properties are Baseline since 2022; :has() raises the water.
