Tailwind Pill Tab Bar with Icons

A dark capsule of icon tabs; the active one becomes a hot-pink pill that grows to make room for its label. Flex growth, icon scale and label reveal share one spring curve. The port gives the pill a soft pink bloom and keeps every collapsed label in the accessibility tree.

What changed in the port

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

  • input:checked + .tt13b { flex: 2.4 } became has-checked:flex-[2.4]; the label reveal became group-has-checked/tab:max-w-24 with delay-50.
  • The original's unpositioned nav let the absolute radios escape to the viewport; with radios inside their labels and sr-only, nothing escapes.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the active pill blooms with a pink shadow derived from its own token, and the saved icon is a bookmark rather than a shopping bag.
  • UI upgrade: inactive labels moved from 55% cream (≈4.0:1) to a 6.7:1 token, and a focus ring was added.

How this works

Grow the item, reveal the text. The checked item's flex factor rises, so its siblings give up space; inside it the label's max-width opens a beat later:

<label class="flex-1 transition-[flex-grow,background-color,color]
  has-checked:flex-[2.4] has-checked:bg-ttb25-pink has-checked:text-ttb25-ink">
  <svg class="group-has-checked/tab:scale-110">…</svg>
  <span class="max-w-0 delay-50 group-has-checked/tab:max-w-24">Search</span>

The spring cubic-bezier(0.34,1.4,0.5,1) overshoots slightly, so the pill settles rather than stops.

Make it yours

  • Light capsule: track bg-black/4, inactive labels at 60% ink.
  • Brand accent: swap the pink token; check dark text still passes 4.5:1.
  • Five items: reduce flex-[2.4] to flex-[2].

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Avoid flex-wrap on the capsule — wrapping during a flex transition thrashes layout.
  • Pastel accents fail with dark text; stay saturated.
  • Collapsed labels are zero-width, not hidden, so they still name each radio.
