Tailwinds + Ant design : Button color is white but has own color wnen I hover it

Question

I applied the tailwind CSS and Ant design with my Next.js project.

I found the primary button got a white color.

But it shows own primary button color when the mouse over.

global.css

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;


@layer base {
    h1 {
      @apply text-2xl;
    }
    h2 {
      @apply text-xl;
    }

    /* ... */
  }


@import '~antd/dist/antd.css';

Home.module.css

.container {
  padding: 0 2rem;
}

.main {
  min-height: 100vh;
  padding: 4rem 0;
  flex: 1;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.footer {
  display: flex;
  flex: 1;
  padding: 2rem 0;
  border-top: 1px solid #eaeaea;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}



.footer a {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  flex-grow: 1;
}

.title a {
  color: #0070f3;
  text-decoration: none;
}

.title a:hover,
.title a:focus,
.title a:active {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

.title {
  margin: 0;
  line-height: 1.15;
  font-size: 4rem;
}

.title,
.description {
  text-align: center;
}

.description {
  margin: 4rem 0;
  line-height: 1.5;
  font-size: 1.5rem;
}

.code {
  background: #fafafa;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 0.75rem;
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Lucida Console, Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono,
    Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Courier New, monospace;
}

.grid {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  max-width: 800px;
}

.card {
  margin: 1rem;
  padding: 1.5rem;
  text-align: left;
  color: inherit;
  text-decoration: none;
  border: 1px solid #eaeaea;
  border-radius: 10px;
  transition: color 0.15s ease, border-color 0.15s ease;
  max-width: 300px;
}

.card:hover,
.card:focus,
.card:active {
  color: #0070f3;
  border-color: #0070f3;
}

.card h2 {
  margin: 0 0 1rem 0;
  font-size: 1.5rem;
}

.card p {
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 1.25rem;
  line-height: 1.5;
}

.logo {
  height: 1em;
  margin-left: 0.5rem;
}

@media (max-width: 600px) {
  .grid {
    width: 100%;
    flex-direction: column;
  }
}

JSX code is like the following.

import * as React from "react";
import { Button, Table } from "antd";
import FishbowlLayout from "../../components/FishbowlLayout";

export function Index() {
  

  return (
    <div>
      # FishbowlLayout uses Layout from Ant design.
      <FishbowlLayout>. 
        <div className="grid grid-cols-6 gap-4">

          # Button
          <Button className="col-end-6 col-span-1 ..." type="primary">
            New project
          </Button>

          # Table
          <div className="col-span-5 ">
            <Table dataSource={dataSource} columns={columns} />;
          </div>
        </div>


      </FishbowlLayout>
    </div>
  );
}

export default Index;

Can you share the react code where you're inserting this button component in your page? – Truthful

I added my JSX code too. – Leija

You can simply use tailwind components from taiblocks tailblocks.cc or from flowbite flowbite.com/docs/components/buttons – Gassaway

Answer 1

In your tailwind.config file add the following:

corePlugins: {
    preflight: false
}

it's explained in a lot more detail in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG6XPy1t1KA&ab_channel=TailwindLabs

edit: typo, thanks for pointing it out Fabio

Thorstein

You should not use camelCase: preflight: false and it works fine. Thank you for the tip – Rawley

It will not work if you upgrade an existing project – Hegumen

Thanks. It worked for me but it doesn't affect other things? – Parbuckle

It may help for new projects. But it breaks some default styles of tailwind. And if you implement it on ongoing project you should check all you components. – Fiberglass

Answer 2

I also encounter the question recently, after deeper investigation, I think it is better resolve by postcss plugin, So I created the plugin postcss-antd-fixed.

It will add excluded pseudo class for button related selectors now from tailwind preflight.css

For example, Transform the code

button,
[type='button'],
[type='reset'],
[type='submit'] {
  -webkit-appearance: button;
  background-color: transparent;
  background-image: none;
}

to

button:where(:not([class^="ant"])),
[type='button']:where(:not([class^="ant"])),
[type='reset']:where(:not([class^="ant"])),
[type='submit']:where(:not( [class^="ant"])) {
    -webkit-appearance: button;
    background-color: transparent;
    background-image: none;
}

Online example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/postcss-antd-fixes?file=postcss.config.js

It make antd + tailwindcss works smoothly, at least for me.

Moreover, the plugin support custom prefixCls and hashPriority, check out type definition about PluginCreator<{ prefixes?: (string | PrefixItem)[] }>

My "Ok" button background for date picker from ant-design was transparent because of tailwind base styling; your plugin solved this issue. Thank you so much – Damondamour

Answer 3

Interesting. Preflight is a set of base styles that Tailwind applies, and it is setting the button background color to transparent.

The solution is to disable Preflight in tailwind.config.js; see the Tailwind documentation.

Answer 4

A simple solution would be to override the CSS as shown below:

.ant-btn:not([disabled]):hover {
    background:#faad14 !important;
}

Answer 5

One CLS-related (Cumulative Layout Shift) thing also resolves the transparent button issue;

(code below is originally taken from the linked solution, but was then changed a little)

Store this component as separate file.

'use client';
import { type PropsWithChildren, useState } from 'react';
import { useServerInsertedHTML } from 'next/navigation';
import { createCache, extractStyle, StyleProvider } from '@ant-design/cssinjs';

export const AntdRootStyleRegistry = ({ children }: PropsWithChildren) => {
  const [cache] = useState(() => createCache());

  useServerInsertedHTML(() => {
    return (
      <script
        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
          __html: `</script>${extractStyle(cache)}<script>`,
        }}
      />
    );
  });

  return (
    <StyleProvider cache={cache} ssrInline hashPriority={'high'}>
      {children}
    </StyleProvider>
  );
};

And then put the component under your antd's ConfigProvider. I also use a separate file for it:

import { type PropsWithChildren } from 'react';
import { ConfigProvider } from 'antd';
import { antdThemeConfig } from '@/app/antdThemeConfig'; // it's where you store your Antd theme config
import { AntdRootStyleRegistry } from '@/app/[locale]/AntdRootStyle';

export function AntdProviders({ children }: PropsWithChildren) {
  // see https://mcmap.net/q/903780/-next-js-13-with-ant-design-5-components-and-pages-render-before-styles-load-causing-jump
  return (
    <ConfigProvider theme={antdThemeConfig}>
      <AntdRootStyleRegistry>{children}</AntdRootStyleRegistry>
    </ConfigProvider>
  );
}

This provider should wrap your entire antd application.

Answer 6

Short term solution: For example: I am using antd primary button on my code like:

<Button type="primary">Click me</Button>

Now go to your main/root css file (globals.css in my case) and add:

.ant-btn-primary:not([disabled]) {
  background:#1677ff !important;
}
.ant-btn-primary:not([disabled]):hover {
  background:#1f4ce0 !important;
}

The button color starts appearing. Note: to get classNames, kindly go to antd official button docs and hover on button you want and grab it. Each button type has unique className like antd-btn-dangerous and antd-btn-primary. I faced same issue and the correct answer choosen by you that uses preflight: false has too much risk. I tried that and my whole codebase styling fusked up badly that i had to revert it. Happy Coding!
