@zemd/tailwind-with-props

This is a simple Tailwindcss preset that maps theme options with css props. This allows you to configure theme from within your global.css file.

Usage

@layer base {
  :root {
    --font-size-xs: 1rem; /* is used for `text-xs` class */
    --color-red-500: #ff0000; /* is used for `*-red-500` classes */
  }
}

// your tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    require('@zemd/tailwind-with-props')
  ],
};

Installation

bun add @zemd/tailwind-with-props --dev
npm install @zemd/tailwind-with-props --save-dev
pnpm add @zemd/tailwind-with-props --dev

Mapping reference

Tailwindcss class	Prop ranges	Named props
font-size	--font-size-{1-17}, --font-size-fluid-{1-4}, --font-size-short-{1-17}
colors	--color-{color}-{50-950}	all top level colors, like --color-white, --color-black, --color-primary etc.
border-radius	--radius-{1-6}	--radius-none, --radius-px, --radius-full, --radius-default
border width	--border-{0,2,4,8}	--border-px, --border-default
box-shadow	--shadow-{1-5}, --shadow-inner-1	--shadow-default
drop-shadow	--drop-shadow-{1-5}	--drop-shadow-none, --drop-shadow-default
font-family		--font-sans, --font-serif, --font-mono, --font-display
letter-spacing	--letter-spacing-{1-6}
line-height	--line-height-{1-17}, --line-height-short-{1-17}	--line-height-none, --line-height-tight, --line-height-snug, --line-height-normal, --line-height-relaxed, --line-height-loose

As you can notice there are some additional props that can be used. I added them intentionally to increase a functionality for the theme. But if you do not use them, you can simply ignore them.

Configuring color palette

In some cases, you might want to configure how you want to name your colors. For example, instead of using --color-red-500 you might want to use --color-red-6. In such a case you can use factory method for the preset in your tailwind.config.js:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    require('@zemd/tailwind-with-props/factory')({ useTailwindColorOrder: false })
  ],
};
