# tailwind **Repository Path**: mirrors_maxisam/tailwind ## Basic Information - **Project Name**: tailwind - **Description**: 🔥 A schematic that adds Tailwind CSS to Angular applications - **Primary Language**: Unknown - **License**: MIT - **Default Branch**: main - **Homepage**: None - **GVP Project**: No ## Statistics - **Stars**: 0 - **Forks**: 0 - **Created**: 2021-06-02 - **Last Updated**: 2026-08-01 ## Categories & Tags **Categories**: Uncategorized **Tags**: None ## README # Angular Tailwind CSS Schematics This schematic will add [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) to your [Angular](https://angular.io) application. ![Angular Tailwind CSS Schematics][demo] [demo]: https://github.com/ngneat/tailwind/raw/master/assets/ngneat-tailwind.gif ## Versions | `@ngneat/tailwind` | AngularCLI | | :----------------- | :------------------- | | v7.x.x | >= 11.2.x | | v6.x.x | >= v11.1.x, < 11.2.x | | v5.2.5 | < v11.1.x | ### v7.x.x In v7, we leverage the [built-in TailwindCSS support from AngularCLI](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/commit/73b409881f71a8235769a345356dcde3c568d0c3) if you use AngularCLI >= 11.2. When you invoke the schematics, and you have AngularCLI <11.2 installed, you'll see the following message: ``` Detected AngularCLI version is 11.0.7 which does not support TailwindCSS natively. Please run "ng add @ngneat/tailwind@6" for Custom Webpack support. ``` ### v6.x.x The main difference is Angular CLI v11.1+ uses `PostCSS 8` already, so we remove that from our dependencies list. To use these schematics at specific version, please use this syntax: `ng add @ngneat/tailwind@5.2.5` or `npm i -D @ngneat/tailwind@5.2.5` ## Usage ``` ng add @ngneat/tailwind ``` ## Usage with Nx > IMPORTANT for AngularCLI users: As of April 06 2021, `create-nx-workspace@latest` still generates Angular with AngularCLI 11.0.7 which does not have built-in TailwindCSS support. Please update AngularCLI by running `ng update @angular/cli` before running this schematics. In Nx, you can either use `AngularCLI` or `NxCLI`. If you set up your Nx Workspace to use `AngularCLI`, the usage is the same as above. If you set up your Nx Workspace with `NxCLI`, follow the steps: Install `@ngneat/tailwind` first: ``` npm i -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer yarn add -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer ``` then execute the schematics: ``` nx generate @ngneat/tailwind:nx-setup ``` ## Manual steps ### v7.x.x In v7, we do not use a **Custom Webpack** anymore. If you use **Custom Webpack**, please follow the below guide and use `@ngneat/tailwind@6` ### v6.x.x If your projects are already using a custom **Webpack** builder with a custom `webpack.config`, follow these steps to add **TailwindCSS** to your project - `npm i -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss` (or `yarn add -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss`) - Import `addTailwindPlugin` from `@ngneat/tailwind` in your `webpack.config` - Import your **TailwindCSS** config in your `webpack.config` - Before you return or modify the original Webpack config, call `addTailwindPlugin` with the following parameters: - `webpackConfig`: the Webpack config - `tailwindConfig`: the TailwindCSS config that you import - `patchComponentsStyles?`: this flag will enable using TailwindCSS directives in components' stylesheets. Default to `false` because turning it on might impact your build time ```js // example const { addTailwindPlugin } = require('@ngneat/tailwind'); const tailwindConfig = require('relative/path/to/tailwind.config'); module.exports = (config) => { addTailwindPlugin({ webpackConfig: config, tailwindConfig, patchComponentsStyles: true, }); return config; }; ``` ## Angular Material If you plan to use `@ngneat/tailwind` with `@angular/material`, please make sure that you setup `@angular/material` **before** `@ngneat/tailwind` because `@angular/material:ng-add` schematics will error out if it detects a custom Webpack in your `angular.json`. ## Purge `@ngneat/tailwind` uses built-in `purge` functionality by `tailwindcss` (under the hood, it is [postcss-purgecss](https://github.com/FullHuman/purgecss/tree/master/packages/postcss-purgecss)). By default, `@ngneat/tailwind` sets the `content` to any **HTML** and any **TS** files in the project. This behavior can be modified as the consumers see fit. ## Tailwind JIT (v7.x.x only) In v7, `@ngneat/tailwind` provides an option to enable JIT mode for TailwindCSS. This is a new compilation mode that improves the compilation time as it does not compile **ALL** of TailwindCSS anymore but only compiles what you use in your application. This mode is still in preview as of `tailwindcss@2.1.1` ## CSS Preprocessors If you're using CSS Preprocessors (SASS/SCSS, LESS, Stylus) in your application, please check out [TailwindCSS's Using with Preprocessors guide](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/using-with-preprocessors#using-sass-less-or-stylus) ## Contributing - Fork this repo and clone the fork on your machine. - Run `npm install` to install all the dependencies - Start working on changes ### Structure ``` _apps |__tailwind-e2e (e2e tests) _libs |__tailwind |__src |__schematics |__ng-add (AngularCLI schematics) |__nx-setup (NxCLI schematics) |__files (files template to be generated) |__specs (unit tests) |__schema.d.ts (interface) |__constants (constants used in the project) |__utils (utilities functions) |__collection.json (schematics configuration) |__package.json (package.json of @ngneat/tailwind which will be published to npm) ``` ### Commit - Run `git add .` to stage your changes - Run `npm run commit` to start Conventional Commit flow ### Commit Hooks pre-commit will execute `npm run lint` and `pretty-quick` to lint and reformat.pre-commit does not run Unit Tests because Unit Tests will be ran in Github Actions. Feel free to run the Unit Tests with `npm run test` to test your changes ### E2E Tests Please run `npm run e2e` to run E2E tests before pushing ### Updating README `README` is in two places at the moment: root and `libs/tailwind/README.md`. The one in root is the one displayed on Github while the one in `libs/tailwind` is being used on `npm`. When you make changes to `README`, make sure to update both. > A script can be created to automating this. ### PR When everything passes and looks good, make a PR.
