Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Tailwind CSS BluePrint Plugin

License npm version npm downloads

a Tailwind CSS plugin to help you build layouts without creating a bunch of containers and wrappers, by leveraging the power of CSS Grid.

to understand the concept behind this plugin, please check out this video by Kevin Powell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c13gpBrnGEw

Installation

You can install this plugin via npm:

 npm install -D tailwindcss-blueprint

Or via yarn:

 yarn add -D tailwindcss-blueprint

Or via pnpm:

pnpm add -D tailwindcss-blueprint

Usage

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
    theme: {
        // ...
    },
    plugins: [
        require('tailwindcss-blueprint'),
        // ...
    ],
}

to use the plugin, you need to add the blueprint-main class to the parent element of the layout you want to build, this will create a grid container with the three sections: full-width, breakout, and content. by default, all the children will be placed in the content section, but you can use the size-full-w class to make an element span the full width of the grid container, or the size-breakout class to make an element take more than one

Examples

Basic Usage

<div class="blueprint-main">
    <nav class="size-full-w">
        ...
    </nav>
    <section>
        ...
    </section>
    <section class="size-full-w">
        ...
    </section>
    <section>
        ...
    </section>
    <footer class="size-full-w">
        ...
    </footer>
</div>

Blog article content

blog article content

without the plugin, you would have to wrap the content of the article in a container to achieve the desired layout.

<div class="flex flex-col">
    <div class="max-w-5xl mx-auto">
        <p>...</p>
    </div>
    <div class="bg-blue-500 text-white ">
        <div class="max-w-5xl mx-auto">
            <h2 class="text-xl">This is a title</h2>
            <p>...</p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="max-w-5xl mx-auto">
        <p>...</p>
    </div>
</div>

with the plugin, you can achieve the same result without wrapping the content in a container.

    <div class="blueprint-main">
        <p>...</p>
        <div class="bg-blue-500 text-white size-full-w blueprint-main">
            <h2 class="text-xl">This is a title</h2>
            <p>...</p>
        </div>
        <p>...</p>
    </div>

Customizing the breakouts

by default, the plugin has the following breakouts:

{
    main: {
        breakouts: {
            'content': {
                min: ['100% - 2rem', '64rem'],
            },
            'breakout': {
                min: '0',
                max: '1fr',
            },
            'full-w': {
                min: '1rem',
                max: '1fr',
            },
        },
        default: 'content'
    }
}

you can customize the breakouts or create new blueprints by passing a configuration object to the plugin.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
    theme: {
        // ...
    },
    plugins: [
        require('tailwindcss-blueprint')({
            card: {
                breakouts: {
                    'content': '1fr',
                    'full-w': '2rem',
                },
                default: 'content'
            },
            main: {
                breakouts: {
                    'content': {
                        min: ['100% - 2rem', '64rem'],
                        max: undefined,
                    },
                    'breakout': {
                        min: '0',
                        max: '1fr',
                    },
                    'full-w': {
                        min: '1rem',
                        max: '1fr',
                    },
                },
                default: 'content'
            },
        }),
        // ...
    ],
}

and now you can use the blueprint-card class to create a grid container with a different set of breakouts

<div class="blueprint-card">
    <div class="size-full-w">
        <input type="radio" name="radio">
        <label>Radio</label>
    </div>
    <img src="..." alt="..." class="size-e-full-w">
    <p class="size-e-full-w">...</p>
    <div class="size-full-w">
        <button>Button</button>
    </div>
</div>

custom card

default

you can also change the default section that the children will be placed in by passing the default property to the configuration object.
