Sail UI

A collection of basic UI components built on Tailwind CSS.

Demo.

Who's this for?

Serial Users

If you're already using Tailwind and you find yourself repeatedly creating a few common component classes for every project, Sail UI is for you.

This package helps you with a few basic components, so that you can start building your prototype / draft / MVP before you get down to polishing your fully custom design.

Use .btn, .card and other classes you're familiar with to get you started and customize them later when you need to.

Newcomers

If you're moving away from another framework to Tailwind and you're afraid of taking the leap because you don't want to build all of those lovely components from scratch yourself, Sail UI will help you with the transition.

Installation

npm install sailui

Add sailui to your tailwind.config.js file:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [require("sailui")],
};

Compatibility

| Tailwind CSS | Sail UI | | ------- | ------- | | v1.9.0 | v0.4.0 | | v2.0.0 | v0.5.0 | | v3.0.0 | v0.7.0 |

Usage

Start using Sail UI component classes just like how you're used to.

<a href="/" class="btn"></a>

Customizing the primary color

Simply add a theme.colors.primary key to your tailwind.config.js and Sail UI will use it as the default color for all available components:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        primary: "#ff6394",
      },
    },
  },
};

Excluding components

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    require("sailui")({exclude: ['btn', 'alert']})
  ],
};

List of all components that can be excluded:
