tailwindcss-text-border v1.0.4

Text borders in tailwind

A plugin to add text-border in tailwind.

It uses text-shadows under the hood, which act as 1px or 2px border (if thicker, things get ugly)

Works as simple as normal borders.

Installation

Install the plugin from npm: npm install -D @tailwindcss-text-border

Then add the plugin to your tailwind.config.js file:

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    // ...
  },
  plugins: [
    require('tailwindcss-text-border'),
    // ...
  ],
}

Basic usage

It works just like normal tailwind borders, by adding text-border-[width] and text-border-[color]

The width is limited to 2px max. For values above this it gets ugly. Default width is 1px.

The plugin uses the theme colors, so no limitations here.

Example 1

<h1 class="text-border text-border-red">Hello world</h1>

Example 2

<h1 class="text-border-2 text-border-yellow">Hello world</h1>

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

The plugin relies on the following function for getting the colors from the theme: const flattenColorPalette = require('tailwindcss/lib/util/flattenColorPalette').default

This can potentially lead to future problems. Check this github issue for more information.
