In Tailwind CSS, the ring and ring-offset classes are used to add outline-like effects around elements, allowing you to create various visual styles such as focus rings, border highlights, and more.
To use the ring and ring-offset classes in Tailwind CSS, apply them to HTML elements to add visual enhancements like border rings and offsets. Use the ring class to create a border ring around an element and ring-offset to add an offset from the element’s border.

<div class="ring-[size] ring-[color] ring-offset-[size] ring-offset-[color]"> <!-- Your content here --> </div>
