Angular Tailwind CSS Schematics

This schematic will add Tailwind CSS to your Angular application.

![Angular Tailwind CSS Schematics][demo]

[demo]: https://github.com/ngneat/tailwind/raw/master/assets/ngneat-tailwind.gif

Versions

|@ngneat/tailwind|AngularCLI|
|------|-----------|
|v6.x.x| >= v11.1.x|
|v5.2.5| < v11.1.x |

The main difference is Angular CLI v11.1+ uses PostCSS 8 already so we remove that from our dependencies list. To use this schematics at specific version, please use this syntax: ng add @ngneat/tailwind@5.2.5 or npm i -D @ngneat/tailwind@5.2.5

Usage

``
ng add @ngneat/tailwind
`

Usage with Nx

In Nx, you can either use AngularCLI or NxCLI. If you setup your Nx Workspace to use AngularCLI, the usage is the
same as above. If you setup your Nx Workspace with NxCLI, follow the steps:

Install @ngneat/tailwind first:

`
npm i -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss postcss
yarn add -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss postcss
`

then execute the schematics:

`
nx generate @ngneat/tailwind:nx-setup
`

Manual steps

If your projects are already using a custom Webpack builder with a custom webpack.config, follow these steps to add TailwindCSS to your project

- npm i -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss (or yarn add -D @ngneat/tailwind tailwindcss)
- Import addTailwindPlugin from @ngneat/tailwind in your webpack.config
- Import your TailwindCSS config in your webpack.config
- Before you return or modify the original Webpack config, call addTailwindPlugin with the following parameters:
- webpackConfig: the Webpack config
- tailwindConfig: the TailwindCSS config that you import
- patchComponentsStyles?: this flag will enable using TailwindCSS directives in components' stylesheets. Default to false because turning it on might impact your build time

`js
// example
const { addTailwindPlugin } = require('@ngneat/tailwind');
const tailwindConfig = require('relative/path/to/tailwind.config');

module.exports = (config) => {
addTailwindPlugin({
webpackConfig: config,
tailwindConfig,
patchComponentsStyles: true
});
return config;
}
`

Angular Material

If you plan to use @ngneat/tailwind with @angular/material, please make sure that you setup @angular/material before @ngneat/tailwind because @angular/material:ng-add schematics will error out if it detects a custom Webpack in your angular.json.

Purge

@ngneat/tailwind uses built-in purge functionality by tailwindcss (under the hood, it
is postcss-purgecss). By
default, @ngneat/tailwind sets the content to any HTML and any TS files in the project.

This behavior can be modified as the consumers see fit.

CSS Preprocessors

If you're using CSS Preprocessors (SASS/SCSS, LESS, Stylus) in your application, please check out TailwindCSS's Using with Preprocessors guide

- Run git add . to stage your changes
- Run npm run commit to start Conventional Commit flow

$3

pre-commit will execute npm run lint and pretty-quick to lint and reformat.pre-commit does not run Unit Tests
because Unit Tests will be ran in Github Actions. Feel free to run the Unit Tests with npm run test to test your
changes

Please run npm run e2e to run E2E tests before pushing

README is in two places at the moment: root and libs/tailwind/README.md. The one in root is the one displayed on
Github while the one in libs/tailwind is being used on npm. When you make changes to README`, make sure to update
both.

> A script can be created to automating this.
