babel-plugin-tailwind

Transforms TailwindCSS classes to CSS-in-JS at build time.

Note - Works with CSS-in-JS libraries that accept a style object such as Glamor, Glamorous, Emotion, CXS, etc...

Before:

import { css } from "glamor";
 
// as a string of classes
let classes = css(tw("w-5/6 sm:text-purple md:text-red md:border-purple"));
 
// or as an array
// let classes = css(tw(["w-5/6", "sm:text-purple", "md:text-red", "md:border-purple"));
 
class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <div className={classes}>what now</div>;
  }
}

After:

import { css } from "glamor";
 
const classes = css({
  width: "83.33333%",
  "@media (min-width: 576px)": {
    color: "#9561e2"
  },
  "@media (min-width: 768px)": {
    color: "#e3342f",
    borderColor: "#9561e2"
  }
});
 
class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <div className={classes}>what now</div>;
  }
}

Installation

This is assuming you already have babel setup in your project. The example below uses babel-preset-env.

yarn add babel-plugin-tailwind

.babelrc

{
  "presets": ['env'],
  "plugins": ["babel-plugin-tailwind"]
}

Custom TailwindCSS Config

This is possible! look in the example folder.

cd example
yarn
yarn start

I hope to write better instructions "soon"!
