Tailwind Plugin

The Tailwind plugin integrates Tailwind CSS into rfw projects. It runs the tailwindcss CLI during the build process and automatically rebuilds when relevant files change.

Features

• Runs tailwindcss with your chosen input and output files.
  
• Supports minification with a simple flag.
  
• Accepts extra CLI arguments for advanced configuration.
  
• Triggers rebuilds when CSS, RTML, HTML, or Go files are modified.
  

Usage

Register the plugin in your app configuration. By default, it looks for index.css and generates tailwind.css.

import (
    core "github.com/rfwlab/rfw/v2/core"
    tailwind "github.com/rfwlab/rfw/v2/plugins/tailwind"
)

func main() {
    core.RegisterPlugin(&tailwind.plugin{})
}

In most projects you won’t need to register manually—rfw automatically detects and runs the plugin during build if configured.

Example Configuration

In rfw.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "tailwind": {
      "input": "src/styles.css",
      "output": "dist/tailwind.css",
      "minify": true
    }
  }
}

API Reference

The Tailwind plugin is configured through JSON in your rfw.json plugins section.

Notes

• Requires the tailwindcss binary installed and available in PATH.
  
• Logs build progress and errors to the console.
  
• Only rebuilds when files with .css (excluding the output file), .rtml, .html, or .go extensions change.
  
• If tailwindcss is missing, the plugin fails with a clear error message.
