Basic usage

Changing the transform origin

Specify an element’s transform origin using the origin-{keyword} utilities.

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Warp lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:origin-top to only apply the origin-top utility on hover.

html
<div class="origin-center hover:origin-top"></div>

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:origin-top to apply the origin-top utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

html
<div class="origin-center md:origin-top"></div>
