quasar-app-extension-tailwindcss's Introduction

TailwindCSS

This extension makes it easy to integrate TailwindCSS (https://tailwindcss.com/) into Quasar (https://quasar.dev).

Install

This extension now uses TailwindCSS v2.

quasar ext add tailwindcss

We currently use tailwindcss@^2.0.1-compat. While TailwindCSS v2 requires postcss@^8.1.0, Quasar still uses v7. We therefore make use of their compatibility version that has the same features as the regular v2, but uses PostCSS v7 instead. As soon as Quasar ships with PostCSS 8, we will switch over to regular TailwindCSS v2.

There have been reports that some part of TailwindCSS v2 breaks with current Quasar rules. In case you encounter difficulties with TailwindCSS v2, you can use v1 by installing the extension like this:

quasar ext add tailwindcss@^1.0.0

Quasar CLI will retrieve it from NPM and install the extension.

Prompts

prefix string - adds a class prefix to every tailwind class name
parts list - decide which parts of tailwind you want to install (base, components, utilities)

Uninstall

quasar ext remove tailwindcss

Removes the extension, optionally also the folder /src/extensions/tailwindcss to fully delete all files that were created with this plugin.
