Mailwind
Use Tailwind CSS to design HTML emails.
Tailwind makes it very easy to design websites, why not use it to design HTML emails? I've been using this for volt.fm and pikaso.me and it has made my life a lot easier.
Install
npm install -g mailwind
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
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
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
The path to your custom Tailwind configuration file. Defaults to tailwind.config.js.
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>
