Create an animated navigation on scroll Tailwind CSS and Alpine JS

Today we are going to create an adaptable navigation on scroll with Alpinejs and Tailwind CSS within an Astro project.

Understanding the scroll effect with Alpine.js
Alpine.js uses a combination of its x-data directive to initialize data for a component and the @scroll.window event listener to react to scroll events. This functionality is particularly useful for implementing adaptive UI elements, such as changing the appearance of a navigation bar as the user scrolls down a page.
