tailwind-child

A TailwindCSS Plugin that lets you target child elements.

<ul class="child-span:child-li:text-red-500 child-li:text-blue-500 direct-child-span:font-bold">
	<li>List Item 1</li>
	<li>List Item 2</li>
	<span>Span Item 1</span>
	<li><span>Span Item 2 (within a li)</span></li>
	<li>List Item 4</li>
</ul>

Results in:

.child-li\:text-blue-500 li {
  --tw-text-opacity: 1;
  color: rgb(59 130 246 / var(--tw-text-opacity));
}

.child-span\:child-li\:text-red-500 li span {
  --tw-text-opacity: 1;
  color: rgb(239 68 68 / var(--tw-text-opacity));
}

.direct-child-span\:font-bold > span {
  font-weight: 700;
}

But expandable using theme/extend

module.exports = {
  content: [],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      childTags: {
        custom: 'custom',
        ".selector": ".selector",
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [],
}

You can even use custom class/ID selectors like .selector in example above. Which will generate:

.child-someEl\:bg-black custom {
  --tw-bg-opacity: 1;
  background-color: rgb(0 0 0 / var(--tw-bg-opacity));
}

.child-\.selector\:bg-purple-500 .selector {
  --tw-bg-opacity: 1;
  background-color: rgb(168 85 247 / var(--tw-bg-opacity));
}
