django_tailwind_cli 1.4.2

Django and Tailwind integration based on the prebuilt Tailwind CSS CLI.

django-tailwind-cli

This project provides an integration of Tailwind CSS for Django that is based on the precompiled versions of the Tailwind CSS CLI.

It is inspired by the implementation of the Tailwind integration for Phoenix which completely skips the neccesity of a node installation. So it is a perfect match, if you are a user of htmx or any other framework that tries to avoid JavaScript coding in your web app. My personal motivation was, that I discovered that I never needed any other plugin besides the official plugins, which are already included in the CLI.

If you want to use node or you have to use it because of other dependencies, then the package django-tailwind by Tim Kamamin might be a better solution for you.

Features
