Integrate Tailwind CSS with Plain.
Project description
plain.tailwind
Integrate Tailwind CSS without JavaScript or npm.
Made possible by the Tailwind standalone CLI, which is installed for you.
$ plain tailwind
Usage: plain tailwind [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Tailwind CSS
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
build Compile a Tailwind CSS file
init Install Tailwind, create a tailwind.config.js...
update Update the Tailwind CSS version
Installation
Add plain.tailwind to your INSTALLED_PACKAGES:
# settings.py
INSTALLED_PACKAGES = [
# ...
"plain.tailwind",
]
Create a new tailwind.config.js file in your project root:
plain tailwind init
This will also create a tailwind.css file at at the root of your repo.
The tailwind.css file is then compiled into app/assets/tailwind.min.css by running tailwind build:
plain tailwind build
When you're working locally, add --watch to automatically compile as changes are made:
plain tailwind build --watch
Then include the compiled CSS in your base template <head>:
{% tailwind_css %}
In your repo you will notice a new .plain directory that contains tailwind (the standalone CLI binary) and tailwind.version (to track the version currently installed).
You should add .plain to your .gitignore file.
Updating Tailwind
This package manages the Tailwind versioning by comparing the value in your pyproject.toml to .plain/tailwind.version.
# pyproject.toml
[tool.plain.tailwind]
version = "3.4.1"
When you run tailwind compile,
it will automatically check whether your local installation needs to be updated and will update it if necessary.
You can use the update command to update your project to the latest version of Tailwind:
plain tailwind update
Adding custom CSS
If you need to actually write some CSS,
it should be done in app/static/src/tailwind.css.
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
/* Add your own "components" here */
.btn {
@apply bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white;
}
@tailwind utilities;
/* Add your own "utilities" here */
.bg-pattern-stars {
background-image: url("/static/images/stars.png");
}

Deployment
If possible, you should add app/assets/tailwind.min.css to your .gitignore and run the plain tailwind build --minify command as a part of your deployment pipeline.
When you run plain tailwind build, it will automatically check whether the Tailwind standalone CLI has been installed, and install it if it isn't.
When using Plain on Heroku, we do this for you automatically in our Plain buildpack.
