Presets - Skeleton

Presets are pre-defined styles that allow you to quickly and easily style buttons, badges, cards, and more. Create by mixing Skeleton and Tailwind primitives.

Custom Presets

For advanced users, we recommend disabling the Skeleton presets in favor of custom-generated presets. This ensures you retain full control over the look and feel of each element. Consider these best practices when creating presets.

Custom presets are only limited by your imagination.
Use any combination of Skeleton or Tailwind-provided primitive to generate a preset.
Apply presets to any relevant element, including: buttons, cards, inputs, and more.
Use a set naming convention, such as preset-{foo} to keep things standardized.
Implement all presets in using Tailwind’s @utility directive in your global stylesheet.
Abstrast presets to a stylesheet or NPM package for shared used between projects.

<div class="w-full max-w-[320px] grid grid-rows-3 gap-4">
  <input type="text" class="input" value="Default Input State!" />
  <input type="text" class="input preset-input-success" value="Valid Input State!" />
  <input type="text" class="input preset-input-error" value="Invalid Input State!" />
</div>

<style>
  /* Add each custom preset to your global stylesheet. */
  .preset-input-success {
    background-color: var(--color-success-100);
    color: var(--color-success-900);
  }
  .preset-input-error {
    background-color: var(--color-error-100);
    color: var(--color-error-900);
  }
</style>

Gradient Presets

Tailwind provides a number of powerful Gradient utility classes that can be used to generate presets.

Card

<div class="w-full space-y-4">
  <div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
    <button class="btn preset-gradient-one">Button</button>
    <button class="btn preset-gradient-two">Button</button>
    <button class="btn preset-gradient-three">Button</button>
  </div>
  <div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 text-center">
    <div class="card p-4 preset-gradient-one">Card</div>
    <div class="card p-4 preset-gradient-two">Card</div>
    <div class="card p-4 preset-gradient-three">Card</div>
  </div>
</div>

<style>
  /* Create a custom preset in your global stylesheet */
  .preset-gradient-one {
    background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, var(--color-primary-500), var(--color-tertiary-500));
    color: var(--color-primary-contrast-500);
  }
  .preset-gradient-two {
    background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, var(--color-error-500), var(--color-warning-500));
    color: var(--color-error-contrast-500);
  }
  .preset-gradient-three {
    background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, var(--color-success-500), var(--color-warning-500));
    color: var(--color-success-contrast-500);
