tl;dr
This is a Tailwind plugin that allows you to add background grids and background dots in an easy and customizable way:
1. Installing the dependency:
npm install --save @nauverse/tailwind-dot-grid-backgrounds
2. Add the plugin to the tailwind.config.js
file:
// ... the rest of your tailwind.config.js file
const config: Config = {
// ... the rest of your config
plugins: [
require('@nauverse/tailwind-dot-grid-backgrounds')
// ... the rest of your Tailwind plugins
],
};
3. You are done! 🪄
Try it by adding this HTML to your UI:
<div class="h-screen w-screen bg-yellow-300 bg-grid-8-s-2-neutral-950"></div>
What
You could achieve the same by just using some Tailwind code but... I found myself adding this kind of background in my projects very often. So I created a small Tailwind plugin to allow me adding these background but at the same allowing all the customization offered by Tailwind.
Features
- 🎨 Fully integrated with Tailwind CSS
- 🏃♂️ Performant (it uses CSS to render the backgrounds)
- 0️⃣ Zero dependencies
- 🧪 Has tests!
- 🎉 Easy to use, straight to the point
Guide and examples
Background Grid
Pattern: bg-grid-<SIZE>-s-<STROKE_WIDTH>-<COLOR>
<SIZE>
is the size of the grid squares. It allows the numeric values of thewidth
prop in Tailwind. You will see the available options in Intellisense.<STROKE_WIDTH>
is the width of the strokes of the grid squares. It allows the numeric values of theborderWidth
prop in Tailwind and also the value1
(since Tailwind does not have aborder-1
class).<COLOR>
is the color of the strokes. It allows any valid classname color in Tailwind.
Examples:
bg-grid-8-s-2-neutral-950
bg-grid-48-s-8-blue-700/80
Background Dots
Pattern: bg-dot-<SIZE>-s-<DOT_SIZE>-<COLOR>
<SIZE>
is the size of the space (in both axis) between the dots. It allows the numeric values of thewidth
prop in Tailwind. You will see the available options in Intellisense.<DOT_SIZE>

prop in Tailwind and also the value1
(since Tailwind does not have aborder-1

Building from source
Building the project should be quick and easy. If it isn't, it's the maintainer's fault. Please report any problems with building in a GitHub issue.
You need to have a reasonably recent version of node.js to build tailwind-dot-grid-backgrounds. Tested on node version 18.0.0 and npm version 8.6.0.
First, clone the git repository:
git clone [email protected]:TheNaubit/tailwind-dot-grid-backgrounds.git
Then switch to the newly created tailwind-dot-grid-backgrounds directory and install the dependencies:
cd tailwind-dot-grid-backgrounds
npm install
You can then run the unit tests to verify that everything works correctly:
npm run test:run
And finally, build the library:
npm run build
The output will appear in the dist
directory.
Happy hacking!
