Use Tailwind CSS to design HTML emails.
Tailwind makes it very easy to design websites, why not use it to design HTML emails? I've been using this for volt.fm and pikaso.me and it has made my life a lot easier.
npm install -g mailwind
`Usage
Design your HTML email using the Tailwind utility classes like you normally would for the web.
Then run the following command to generate the corresponding CSS file:
`
mailwind --input-html email.html --output-css style.css
`Or run this command to generate an inlined HTML file:
`
mailwind --input-html email.html --output-html email-inlined.html
`Options
--input-cssThe path to your base CSS file. Use this if you need to write custom CSS. Defaults to style.css.
--input-htmlThe path to your HTML email file.
--output-cssThe path to the CSS file that will be generated.
--output-htmlThe path to the inlined HTML file that will be generated.
--tailwind-configThe path to your custom Tailwind configuration file. Defaults to tailwind.config.js.
Note
In the provided default config file, all the units are changed to pixel which is probably what you want for HTML emails.
Example
Given an
email.html file with this content:`html
Welcome
`running this command:
`
mailwind \
--input-html email.html \
--output-css style.css \
--output-html email-inlined.html
`will generate the following CSS and inlined HTML files:
`css
.text-lg {
font-size: 18px
}.font-bold {
font-weight: 700
}
``html
Welcome
