To use an active button state after clicking it in Tailwind CSS, you can utilize the active utility class. The active class is applied when the button is clicked or activated
<button class="rounded bg-blue-500 px-4 py-2 text-white hover:bg-blue-700 active:bg-blue-800">
Click me
</button>
bg-blue-500 sets the initial background to blue. hover:bg-blue-700 changes it to a darker blue on hover. text-white makes the text white. font-bold makes the text bold. py-2 px-4 adds vertical (0.5rem) and horizontal (1rem) padding. rounded gives the button rounded corners. active:bg-blue-800 changes the background to an even darker blue when clicked, providing visual feedback.
Create a button that becomes active after clicking using the Tailwind CSS classes active:bg-blue-800, along with focus:outline-none and focus:ring focus:border-blue-300.
<button class="bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white py-2 px-4 rounded focus:outline-none focus:ring focus:border-blue-300 active:bg-blue-800">
