Consume and generate TailwindCSS configurations and classes

[janbaykara]

This is a quick one. My first thought at finding this project was: wow, this looks really cool!

My second thought was: could this integrate with something like TailwindCSS, to generate and consume design tokens which makes the code more resilient beyond the tool?

Hi there! I know it might look like we favour css-in-js, but we actually used Tailwinds to build our website. It's a pretty amazing system! As it stands, we already support adding css classes (and the inspector will show you if a property is set coming from css). Having better support for it would be nice though, and I dream of being able to convert from tailwinds to css-in-js and vice versa. The last part is probably a lot harder though :D

More to your point - we'll be looking a lot at real-life styling options over the summer. That includes both better support for styledComponents / Emotion, themes, layout components, and yes, utility classes. We'll share ideas and designs in Discord and here as this progresses.

If you can already add/remove classes that's already good enough if you ask me!

Thanks for the reply! So cool that you can inspect the properties of class names. Look forward to seeing how this progresses.
