jaspr-declarative-tailwind

A declarative Tailwind class generator written in dart. Create a list or string of Tailwind classes using a declarative interface, similar to Flutter and Jaspr.

Quickstart

The Tailwind Class generator can be used in a Jaspr app or in any other dart project where inline Tailwind utility classes are needed. It allows you to generate the needed Tailwind classes in a Flutter-like structure.

If you are using the declarative Tailwind generator for Jaspr, make sure you have jaspr installed and setup.

Then create a new jaspr project.

jaspr create my_new_project

Install JDT '''bash dart pub add jaspr-declarative-Tailwind '''

If you are not using Jaspr, just install JDT and use it as needed.

dart pub add jaspr-declarative-tailwind

Usage

Wherever you may need Tailwind classes instantiate a TWClassList

//example with Jaspr's DomComponent
DomComponent(tag: "p", classes: TWClassList(generators: ));

The package provides a declarative interface to Tailwind's utility classes categorized by many common use cases in the form of TWGenerators i.e

//example with flex styling in the layout generator
 DomComponent(
      tag: "p",
      classes: TWClassList(
          generators: TWGenerators.layout(flex: TWFlexValue.flexAuto)));

How does this work? Well, TWClassList is a descendant of the ListBase class, so it can be used like a list of strings (each string being a class). i.e

 //this will work!
 List<String> classes = TWClassList(
          generators: TWGenerators.layout(flex: TWFlexValue.flexAuto));

If you need a super-string of all classes, use TWClassList like a string

  print(TWClassList(
          generators: TWGenerators.layout(flex: TWFlexValue.flexAuto)));

  // output: 'flex flex-auto'
