tailbuild v1.1.1
♻️ tailbuild
A simple command to build a JIT Tailwind CSS file for your project without all the fuss.
Run the following command and you're off!
npx tailbuild [output file] --files=[files to search for CSS classes in and generate Tailwind from]Here's a specific example where tailbuild will scour all the HTML files in the public/ directory for Tailwind classes and build a custom CSS file: dist/tailwind.css
npx tailbuild dist/tailwind.css --files="./public/**/*.html"File Watching
You can configure tailbuild to watch these "markup reference" files and re-build if they are changed with the --watch option:
npx tailbuild dist/tailwind.css --files="./public/**/*.html" --watchProduction Builds
By adding --production tailbuild will minify the output CSS file.
npx tailbuild dist/tailwind.css --files="./public/**/*.html" --productionFramework Examples
