stencil-tailwind

!!! ⚠️ DEPRECATED ⚠️ !!! See https://www.npmjs.com/package/stencil-tailwind-plugin

This package is used in order to integrate with tailwindcss. It provides simple functionality for supporting a utility-first workflow within the Shadow DOM.

Note, this plugin specificially adds support for inline utilities (idiomatic Tailwind). If you find that this is not a requirement for your project you can opt to include Tailwind via @stencil/postcss. This will allow you to use the @apply directive and theme() function within your component's stylesheet. You can get started with the following configuration:

import { Config } from '@stencil/core'
import postcss from '@stencil/postcss'
import tailwind from 'tailwindcss'

export const config: Config = {
  plugins: [
    postcss({
      plugins: [ tailwind() ]
    })
  ]
}

Installation

First, npm install within the project:

npm install stencil-tailwind --save-dev

Next, within the project's stencil.config.js file, import the plugin and add it to the config's plugins config:

stencil.config.ts

import { Config } from '@stencil/core'
import tailwind from 'stencil-tailwind'

export const config: Config = {
  plugins: [
    tailwind()
  ]
}

Note, hot module reloading (hmr) is not yet supported. For local development, you'll need to update reloadStratgy to use the pageReload option:

export const config: Config = {
  devServer: {
    reloadStrategy: 'pageReload'
  }
}

Create your Tailwind config file (optional)

While Tailwind provides a sensible default configuration, it is often desirable to further customize your theme. This default configuration can be used as a starting point for such customizations. To customize your Tailwind installation, you will first need to generate a config file for your project using the included Tailwind CLI utility when you install the stencil-tailwind npm package.

npx tailwindcss init

This will generate a tailwind.config.js file at the root of your project.

Usage

Inline utilities

Utility classes can be used directly within JSX; they will be included in the component's shadow tree.

class MyComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <div class="p-4 bg-red">
        <p class="text-sm text-white">This is JSX!</p>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

@Styles

Utilities can be conditionally applied using the Styles decorator. This decorator provides a simple wrapper for the classnames npm package.

class MyComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <button class={this.classNames()}>
        Hello World
      </button>
    );
  }

  @Styles()
  private classNames = () => ({
    'p-4': true,
    'shadow hover:shadow-md': this.floating,
    'rounded-full': this.round
  })
}

Directives

Use the @apply directive to inline any existing utility classes into your external component stylesheet files. This is useful when you want to apply utilities to the shadow host.

:host {
  @apply font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded;
}

DSL (advanced)

A simple, declarative, runtime DSL can be used to provide sugar for conditionally applied utilties based on a Prop value. All classes will be included in the shadow tree at build time.

class MyComponent {

  /** specify the size of the button, defaults to m */
  @Prop({ reflect: true }) size: "s" | "m" | "l" = "m";

  render() {
    return (
      <button class="<px-4 py-3 text-sm> l<px-6 py-4 text-lg> s<px-3 py-2 text-xs>">
        Hello World
      </button>
    );
  }

}

The DSL is described by the following grammer:

class-container → prefix < class-list >

class-list → class-list class

class-list → class

class → string

prefix → string | ''

Options

The following plugin options may be configured:

stencil.config.ts

import tailwindcss from 'tailwindcss'

export const config: Config = {
  plugins: [
    tailwind({
      tailwind: tailwindcss('tailwind.config.js'),
      inputFile: './src/styles/app.css',
      includeTailwindCss: false
    })
  ]
}

tailwind: (optional) your own configuration file and version of TailwindCSS to be used.
inputFile: (optional) a stylesheet filepath to be used in place of the default.
includeTailwindCss: (optional) include global tailwind.css in the bundle (default: true)
