Options

Tailwind Config

If this isn't supplied, the default Tailwind config will be used. If you've customised the config you can import it to generate appropriate classes for your project.

To export your current config, add the following lines to the bottom of your tailwind-config.js:

console.log(JSON.stringify(module.exports))

Then copy and paste the JSON into the settings area, you can then delete the above line.

Default Font

Specify your default font here and it will be excluded from the generated classes.

Default Colour

Specify your default colour here and it will be excluded from the generated classes.

Usage

If you have node >= 5.2.0, use npx:

npx tailwind-zeplin-extension start

Otherwise:

git clone https://github.com/morrislaptop/tailwind-zeplin-extension.git
cd tailwind-zeplin-extension
yarn # or npm install
yarn start

You can add them to your Zeplin projects locally from their Extensions window.

On Mac, Windows or Web apps, holding down the Option key will enable the “Add Local Extension” option on the title bar:

After running the script, enter http://localhost:7070/manifest.json as the URL and click Add.

That's pretty much it. Go ahead, click a layer!
