Tailwind (tailwind v0.1.0) View Source

Tailwind is an installer and runner for Tailwind CLI.

Think esbuild but for Tailwind, allowing you to scratch NodeJS from your toolchain entirely.

Profiles

You can define multiple tailwind profiles, each profile configures arguments, current directory and environment variables:

config :tailwind,
  # Version is optional, latest version will automatically be used if not specified.
  version: "3.0.7",
  default: [
    args: ~w(-i input.css -o output.css),
    cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__),
    env: %{"SOME_VAR" => "some value"}
  ]

Tailwind configuration

There are two global configurations for the tailwind application:

:version - the expected tailwind cli version
:path - the path to find the tailwind cli executable at. By default, it is automatically downloaded and placed inside the _build directory of your current app

Overriding the :path is not recommended, as we will automatically download and manage tailwind for you. But in case you can't download it (for example, you're behind a proxy), you may want to set the :path to a configurable system location.
