Tailwind CSS standalone CLI

Repackaged Tailwind CSS standalone CLI that comes bundled with daisyUI - the most popular component library for Tailwind CSS.

This repository employs GitHub Actions to generate patched versions of the upstream CLI tool whenever a new version of Tailwind CSS or daisyUI is released.

Usage

• Download the latest binary from the releases page.

• Make it executable:

  chmod +x ./tailwindcss-extra*

  macOS users may also need to remove the quarantine attribute:

  xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./tailwindcss-extra*

• Add the daisyUI plugin to your main CSS file:

  @import "tailwindcss";
  @plugin "daisyui";

• Use tailwindcss-extra just like the official tool (example).

Cheat sheet

# start a watcher
./tailwindcss-extra -i input.css -o output.css --watch
