Create Amazing Animated Cards with border animations

In this article, we will explore how to create animated cards with border animations using React.js and Tailwind CSS. Animated cards can add interactivity and visual interest to your website, making it more engaging for users.

Getting Started

First, make sure you have React.js and Tailwind CSS installed in your project. If you haven’t already, you can install them using the following commands:

    
      npx create-react-app animated-cards
      cd animated-cards
      npm install tailwindcss
    
  

Creating the Animated Card Component

Next, create a new component called AnimatedCard in your React project. This component will contain the HTML structure for the animated card with border animations.

    
      import React from 'react';
      
      const AnimatedCard = () => {
        return (
          

            
My Animated Card

        );
      };
      
      export default AnimatedCard;
    
  

Styling the Animated Card

To add border animations to the card, we can use Tailwind CSS utility classes like border-2, border-blue-500, and animate-pulse. These classes will create a blue 2px border around the card and add a pulsating animation effect.

Using the Animated Card Component

Once you have created the AnimatedCard component, you can use it in your React project by importing it and including it in your JSX code.

    
      import React from 'react';
      import AnimatedCard from './AnimatedCard';
      
      const App = () => {
        return (
          

            
My Animated Cards
            
          
        );
      };
      
      export default App;
    
  

That’s it! You have now created an animated card with border animations using React.js and Tailwind CSS. Feel free to customize the styles and animations to suit your project’s needs.
