@adalzanabria/tailwindcss v1.0.1

Usage

1. Install the npm package

• with npm:

npm i -D @adalzanabria/tailwindcss

• with yarn:

yarn add -D @adalzanabria/tailwindcss

2. Add the plugin into your tailwind.config.js file

plugins: [require("@adalzanabria/tailwindcss")],

3. Add an import of the palettes to the first line of your main css file were you use your Tailwind directives:

@import '@adalzanabria/tailwindcss';

• Note: If you are using TailwindCSS 3.1+ with the CLI, @import works out of the box, if you are using TailwindCSS as a PostCSS plugin, you need to install the postcss-import plugin and add it to your postcss.config.js to be able to use @import.

4. Use the colors in any utility class that supports them. All colors are prefixed by the ctp keyword, the default palette is latte. For example:

<p className="text-ctp-mauve">
    This is a paragraph with the color mauve.
</p>

<div className="bg-ctp-flamingo">
    This is a div with the background color of flamingo.
</div>

5. To use different palettes, add one of the following classes to the container of the elements:

• theme-frappe
• theme-macchiato
• theme-mocha
• If no theme class is used, the latte theme will be used as default. For example:

<div>
    <p className="text-ctp-pink">
        This is a paragraph with the color pink of the latte palette.
    </p>
</div>
<div className="theme-frappe">
    <!--All elements inside this div will use the frappe palette.-->
    <p className="text-ctp-pink">
        This is a paragraph with the color pink of the frappe palette.
    </p>
</div>
<div className="theme-macchiato">
    <!--All elements inside this div will use the macchiato palette.-->
    <p className="text-ctp-pink">
        This is a paragraph with the color pink of the macchiato palette.
    </p>
</div>
<div className="theme-mocha">
    <!--All elements inside this div will use the mocha palette.-->
    <p className="text-ctp-pink">
        This is a paragraph with the color pink of the mocha palette.
    </p>
</div>

6. Using the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense extension for VS Code is adviced to preview the class names, but not necessary.

🙋 FAQ (optional)
