🌬️ Tailwind integration for Jaspr #
Tailwind is a popular css framework to quickly compose beautiful websites without needing
to write a lot of css.
This package is a first-class tailwind integration for jaspr.
Prerequisites #
This package expects tailwind to be installed through the tailwindcss command. The recommended way is to use
the standalone tailwind cli.
To install it, download the executable for your platform from the latest release
on GitHub and give it executable permissions:
curl -sLO https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/latest/download/tailwindcss-<your-platform>
chmod +x tailwindcss-<your-platform>

Next move it to a common executable location or add its location to your PATH:
# e.g. /usr/local/bin on unix based systems (linux, macos)
mv tailwindcss-<your-platform> /usr/local/bin/tailwindcss

Test your installation by typing in your terminal:
tailwindcss -h

Setup #
To start, add jaspr_tailwind as a dev dependency to your project:
dart pub add jaspr_tailwind --dev
Next add a styles.tw.css file inside the web directory with the following content:
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
copied to clipboard
Finally, link the generated styles.css in your document, or otherwise add it to your website:
In static or server mode:
// This file is lib/main.dart
import 'package:jaspr/server.dart';
import './app.dart';
void main() {
runApp(Document(
title: 'My Tailwind Site',
head: [
// Link the styles.css file, this will be generated by the tailwind integration.
link(href: 'styles.css', rel: 'stylesheet'),
],
body: App(),
));
}
copied to clipboard
or in client mode:
<html>
<head>
<!-- Link the styles.css file, this will be generated by the tailwind integration.-->
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
</html>
copied to clipboard
You can also have more than one input css file. Any file inside the web directory ending in .tw.css will be used and compiled
to its .css counterpart.
Usage #
If you are unfamiliar with tailwind, head over to their official documentation
first (you can skip the installation part).
The jaspr_tailwind integration comes preconfigured, so you can use any tailwind classes inside your jaspr components.
A jaspr card component using tailwind would look like this:
import 'package:jaspr/jaspr.dart';
class SimpleCard extends StatelessComponent {
const SimpleCard({required this.title, required this.message});
final String title;
final String message;
@override
Iterable<Component> build(BuildContext context) sync* {
yield div(classes: 'p-6 max-w-sm mx-auto bg-white rounded-xl shadow-lg flex items-center space-x-4', [
div(classes: 'shrink-0', [
img(classes: 'h-12 w-12', src: '/img/logo.svg', alt: '$title Logo'),
]),
div([
div(classes: 'text-xl font-medium text-black', [text(title)]),
p(classes: 'text-slate-500', [text(message)]),
])
]);
}
}

Config #
By default, you don't need a tailwind config file for your project. The package automatically scans the project's Dart files and builds the CSS.
However, if you want to customize the default config like the theme or colors, you can add a tailwind.config.js file to the root directory of your project.
When using a custom config, you should explicitly set the content option to scan Tailwind class names from the Dart file:
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
content: ['./{lib,web}/**/*.dart'],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
copied to clipboard
Note: Setting a custom content configuration is possible, but the tailwind integration won't recompile the css when those
files change. Automatic recompiling is only enabled for .dart files.
For personal and professional use. You cannot resell or redistribute these repositories in their original state.
