Translating HTML/CSS button with animation to Next.js + Tailwind?

Question

Hello, I was following some tutorial where we created a rather nice button just with plain HTML and CSS:

<a href="#" class="btn btn-white btn-animated">Discover our tours</a>

This is the relevant CSS code:

@keyframes moveInBottom {
  0% {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(30px);
  }

  100% {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translate(0);
  }
}

.btn:link,
.btn:visited {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 15px 40px;
  display: inline-block;
  border-radius: 100px;
  transition: all .2s;
  position: relative;
}

.btn:hover {
  transform: translateY(-3px);
  box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, .2 green, blue, alpha);
}

.btn:active {
  transform: translateY(-1px);
  box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, .2 green, blue, alpha);
}

.btn-white {
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #777;
}

.btn::after {
  content: "";
  display: inline-block;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  border-radius: 100px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: -1;
  transition: all .4s;
}

.btn-white::after {
  background-color: #fff;
}

.btn:hover::after {
  transform: scaleX(1.4) scaleY(1.6);
  opacity: 0;
}

.btn-animated {
  animation: moveInBottom .5s ease-out .75s;
  animation-fill-mode: backwards;
}

I was wondering how to make the same, just using Next.js and Tailwind CSS:

// components/AnimatedButton.tsx
import React from 'react';

interface AnimatedButtonProps {
  label: string;
  href: string;
}

const AnimatedButton: React.FC<AnimatedButtonProps> = ({ label, href }) => {
  return (
    <a href={href} className="btn btn-white btn-animated">
      {label}
    </a>
  )
}

export default AnimatedButton;

// styles/animations.css
@keyframes moveInBottom {
  0% {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(30px);
  }
  100% {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translate(0);
  }
}

// styles/button.css
@layer components {
  .btn {
    @apply uppercase no-underline inline-block rounded-full relative transition-all;
    padding: 15px 40px;
  }

  .btn:hover {
    transform: translateY(-3px);
    box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  }

  .btn:active {
    transform: translateY(-1px);
    box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  }

  .btn-white {
    @apply bg-white text-gray-700;
  }

  .btn::after {
    content: "";
    display: inline-block;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    border-radius: 100px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: -1;
    transition: all .4s;
    background-color: #fff;
  }

  .btn:hover::after {
    transform: scaleX(1.4) scaleY(1.6);
    opacity: 0;
  }

  .btn-animated {
    animation: moveInBottom .5s ease-out .75s;
    animation-fill-mode: backwards;
  }
}

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  // other configurations
  content: [
    // other content configurations
    './styles/**/*.css',
  ],
}

My question, is this an idiomatic way of doing it?
