Mailwind
Use Tailwind CSS to design HTML emails.
This project is based of 'mailwind' developped by @soheilpro. However, I had a few problems when using mailwind. So I made this esm-friendly version to satisfy my needs.
Difference with solheilpro/mailwind
| Features | esm-mailwind | mailwind | | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | | Parse tailwind html | ✔️ | ✔️ | | Parse tailwind config | ✔️ | ✔️ | | Convert 'rem' to 'px' | ✔️ | ❌ | | Resolves CSS variables | ✔️ | ❌ | | ESM-friendly | ✔️ | ❌ |
Install
npm install esm-mailwind --save-dev
or if you want to install globally:
npm install esm-mailwind -g
Usage
Design your HTML email using the Tailwind utility classes like you normally would for the web.
Then run the following command to generate the corresponding CSS file:
mailwind --input-html email.html --output-css style.css
Or run this command to generate an inlined HTML file:
mailwind --input-html email.html --output-html email-inlined.html
If you want to specify your own base pixels per 1rem:
mailwind --input-html email.html --output-html email-inlined.html --base-px 16
Options
--input-css
The path to your base CSS file. Use this if you need to write custom CSS. Defaults to style.css.
--input-html
The path to your HTML email file.
--output-css
(optional)
The path to the CSS file that will be generated.
--output-html
The path to the inlined HTML file that will be generated.
--tailwind-config
(optional)
The path to your custom Tailwind configuration file. Defaults to tailwind.config.js.
--base-px
(optional)
The base number of pixels per 1rem; default = 16.
Note
In the provided default config file, all the units are changed to pixel which is probably what you want for HTML emails.
Example
Given an email.html
file with this content:
<html>
<body>
<p class="font-bold text-lg">Welcome</p>
</body>
</html>
running this command:
mailwind \
--input-html email.html \
--output-css style.css \
--output-html email-inlined.html
will generate the following CSS and inlined HTML files:
.text-lg {
font-size: 18px
}
.font-bold {
font-weight: 700
}
<html>
<body>
<p class="font-bold text-lg" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700;">Welcome</p>
</body>
</html>
