A Swift Package to pull and run Tailwind from a Swift process
SwiftyTailwind ?
SwiftyTailwind is a Swift Package to lazily download and run the Tailwind CLI from a Swift project (e.g. Vapor app or Publish project).
Usage
First, you need to add SwiftyTailwind as a dependency in your project’s Package.swift:
.package(url: "https://github.com/tuist/SwiftyTailwind.git", .upToNextMinor(from: "0.1.0"))
Once added, you’ll create an instance of SwiftyTailwind specifying the version you’d like to use and where you’d like it to be downloaded.
let tailwind = SwiftyTailwind(version: .latest, directory: "./cache")
If you don’t pass any argument, it defaults to the latest version in the system’s default temporary directory. If you work in a team, we recommend fixing the version to minimize non-determinism across environments.
Initializing a tailwind.config.js
You can create a tailwind.config.js configuration file by running the initialize function on the SwiftyTailwind instance:
try await tailwind.initialize()
Check out all the available options in the documentation.
Running Tailwind
To run Tailwind against a project, you can use the run function:
try await subject.run(input: inputCSSPath, output: outputCSSPath, options: .content("views/**/*.html"))
If you’d like Tailwind to keep watching for file changes, you can pass the .watch option:
try await subject.run(input: inputCSSPath,
output: outputCSSPath,
options: .watch, .content("views/**/*.html"))
Check out all the available options in the documentation.
