Tailwind Bottom Navigation Bar with Expanding Labels

A mobile nav bar in a soft white pill. The chosen item grows (flex-1 → flex-[2.6]), a pink halo blooms behind its icon and the label slides out beside it. The port fixes the original's unreadable mint label (1.9:1 on white) with a deep-teal label token while the icon keeps the bright mint.

What changed in the port

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

  • input:checked + .tt04b { flex: 2.6 } became has-checked:flex-[2.6]; the halo and label rules became group-has-checked/tab: utilities on the children.
  • The hard-coded halo offsets (top:14%; left:22%) were replaced by a halo positioned against the icon's own wrapper, so it stays on the glyph at any width.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the label is now deep teal #0f766e (5.5:1 on white) instead of mint (1.9:1); the icon keeps the bright mint so the brand colour survives.
  • UI upgrade: a visible keyboard focus ring (the original had none), and resting icons darkened to 3.1:1 (the WCAG graphical-object minimum) from 2.2:1.

How this works

Three motions on one curve. Item growth, halo and label share cubic-bezier(0.4,0,0.2,1), so the reveal arrives as one gesture:

<label class="flex-1 transition-[flex-grow] has-checked:flex-[2.6]">
  <span class="scale-0 bg-ttb16-halo group-has-checked/tab:scale-100"></span>
  <svg class="text-ttb16-mint">…</svg>
  <span class="max-w-0 opacity-0 group-has-checked/tab:max-w-32 group-has-checked/tab:opacity-100">Home</span>

The label waits 100ms before fading in, so it appears after the item has started to widen.

Make it yours

  • Fix it to the viewport: wrap in fixed inset-x-4 bottom-4 and add pb-[env(safe-area-inset-bottom)].
  • Brand pair: swap mint and halo tokens; keep a dark label token for contrast.
  • Four items: delete one label; the flex maths adapts.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • flex-grow transitions are layout work; one bar is fine.
  • On 320px screens with five items, keep labels short or reduce flex-[2.6] to flex-[2].
  • Icons are aria-hidden; the collapsed label is still the accessible name.

flex-grow interpolation is universal; the floor is Tailwind v4's sheet.
