EleganceUI - Tailwind Utilities

Maintenance notice: this package is no longer maintained. It was built for Tailwind CSS v3 and has not been tested with Tailwind CSS v4 or newer. Existing users can keep pinning the package, but new projects should use Tailwind CSS directly or another actively maintained plugin.

Expand the possibilities of TailwindCSS with eleganceui-tailwind-utilities, a library of utility classes designed to simplify and expand your styling options. With our solution, you save time by writing less code and maintaining visual consistency across your projects.

How to install and to set up

Installation

Install the library with Yarn or NPM:

yarn add -D eleganceui-tailwind-utilities

or

npm i -D eleganceui-tailwind-utilities

Configuration

It is possible to import the complete set with all utility classes at once:

import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss'

import eleganceUIUtilities from '@eleganceui/tailwind-utilities'

const config: Config = {
  content: ['./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}', './index.html'],
  theme: {
    extend: {}
  },
  plugins: [...eleganceUIUtilities]
}

export default config

or if you prefer, only the desired utilities can be imported individually:

import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss'

import { skeleton, separator } from '@eleganceui/tailwind-utilities'

const config: Config = {
  content: ['./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}', './index.html'],
  theme: {
    extend: {}
  },
  plugins: [skeleton, separator]
}

export default config
