I have tried using :after, but it didn't work out. Here is my link component => https://codepen.io/qqharry21/pen/xxPwqjQ

If you're not wanting to include a CSS file just for this functionality or you just want to do it in Tailwind - the code snippet I've posted below is based purely on Tailwind CSS.

<a class="group text-pink-500 transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out" href="#">
  <span class="bg-left-bottom bg-gradient-to-r from-pink-500 to-pink-500 bg-[length:0%_2px] bg-no-repeat group-hover:bg-[length:100%_2px] transition-all duration-500 ease-out">
    This text gets 'underlined' on hover
  </span>
</a>

Cheers and happy coding!

You can do everything in one single line using the after pseudo-element:

<section class="bg-[#0077b6] h-screen w-screen text-white flex items-center justify-center">
  <a class="text-3xl relative after:bg-white after:absolute after:h-1 after:w-0 after:bottom-0 after:left-0 hover:after:w-full after:transition-all after:duration-300 cursor-pointer">Text you want to underline in just one line</a>
</section>

Here is a pen with a use case:

You can achieve that in pure tailwind with group max-w-{x} and transition-all, use group-hover on the span so when you pass over the link it start the animation

<a href="#" class="group text-sky-600 transition duration-300">
Link
<span class="block max-w-0 group-hover:max-w-full transition-all duration-500 h-0.5 bg-sky-600"></span>
</a>

You can you transition for that:

    .link-underline {
        border-bottom-width: 0;
        background-image: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(#fff, #fff);
        background-size: 0 3px;
        background-position: 0 100%;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        transition: background-size .5s ease-in-out;
    }

    .link-underline-black {
        background-image: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(#F2C, #F2C)
    }

    .link-underline:hover {
        background-size: 100% 3px;
        background-position: 0 100%
    }
