Tailwind Magnetic Ripple Attraction Button Hover Effect

A premium CTA that feels physically alive: as the cursor enters, a soft ripple grows from the pointer position and the label nudges toward the cursor like it's magnetically attracted, with elastic easing that overshoots before settling. The port's win is structural — v4's discrete translate and scale properties mean the press no longer has to restate the magnetic pull.

What changed in the port

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

  • Two .btn:hover .layer selector pairs become group-hover/btn: + group-focus-visible/btn: on the layers themselves. The named group (group/btn) matters here because design A nests a layer inside a button inside a stage — an unnamed group-hover: would bind to whichever ancestor happened to carry group.
  • The press state got genuinely shorter: transform:translate(var(--tx,0),var(--ty,0)) scale(.96) becomes active:scale-[.96], because v4 writes translate and scale as separate properties. Same for the spin keyframe, which no longer restates the centring translate.
  • UI change from the CSS original: design C's hover lift is now mirrored on focus-visible:, and all three motion-reduce: fallbacks keep a colour or opacity response instead of just dropping the motion — the originals left keyboard users with the ring alone.

```

How this works

The descendant selector becomes a named group. The CSS version needed .btn:hover .ripple, .btn:focus-visible .ripple — two selectors living far from the element they move. In Tailwind the button carries group/btn and the ripple states its own reaction:

<span class="scale-0 opacity-0 group-hover/btn:scale-[2.5]
  group-hover/btn:opacity-100 group-focus-visible/btn:scale-[2.5]">

JavaScript shrinks to coordinates. The pointer handler writes --mx, --my, --tx and --ty and nothing else; every visual decision is a class. That is the correct division: JS measures, CSS renders.

The spin keyframe got simpler. Design C's conic sweep was centred with transform:translate(-50%,-50%), so its keyframe had to repeat that translate on every frame or the layer would snap to the corner. With -translate-x-1/2 compiling to the translate property, the keyframe is now just to { transform: rotate(360deg) }.

Make it yours

  • Magnetic strength: the PULL constant in the controller (6px is restrained; 14px is playful).
  • Ripple reach: group-hover/btn:scale-[2.5] on A, scale-[30] on B's full colour flood.
  • Elastic feel: the shared ease-[cubic-bezier(.34,1.56,.64,1)] — promote it to --ease-tbh01 once a third element wants it.
  • Recolour any design through its single --color-tbh01*-acc / -edge token; the gradient, shadow and glow all read it.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Drive the pull with translate-*, never top/left — those relayout on every pointermove and destroy INP.
  • Reset --tx/--ty on pointerleave, or the button stays permanently displaced.
  • The ripple needs pointer-events-none, or it swallows the click the whole button exists for.
  • -z-10 on the ripple only behaves because the button carries isolate — without a stacking context the negative index escapes behind the page background.
  • left-[var(--mx,50%)] must keep its fallback: before the first pointermove the variable is unset, and a bare var(--mx) makes the declaration invalid rather than centred.

Pointer events and custom properties are universal; the pointer effects are progressive enhancement — with JS blocked each button stays a clean, clickable capsule with a centred ripple and a focus ring. The floor quoted is Tailwind v4's generated sheet.
