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 🙏

Introduction

A fluid typography plugin for Tailwind CSS. This plugin generates a set of fluid typography utilities based on your configuration. It uses the clamp() CSS function to create a fluid typography scale that is responsive by default.

How is it different than other plugins?

There are two major similar plugins:

  1. https://github.com/davidhellmann/tailwindcss-fluid-type
  2. https://github.com/craigrileyuk/tailwind-fluid-typography

Both of these plugins are based on automatically scaling via multipliers which means it's hard to manually set each font size or break the scale if the design requires so.

This plugin allows you to set each font-size, line-height, and letter-spacing values individually. It does not give you a predefined set of sizes or sizes that follow a type scale, you have to manually define them yourself, but the plugin will scale them for you.

Installation

npm i tailwindcss-fluid-typography

or

yarn add tailwindcss-fluid-typography

Usage

Reference your static font sizes from Tailwind config and copy those. Then, add another value in the array to scale between the two values.

You should check your design and set each type scale size upper and lower end based on the desktop and mobile design sizes. The plugin will automatically resize between those two sizes within the chosen screen sizes.

The default screen sizes are 30rem (480px) and 80rem (1280px)

Specify min and max values in an array, for example:

  fontSize: [1.125, 1.5],
  lineHeight: [1.75, 2],

The plugin will scale between font-size: 1.125rem and font-size: 1.5rem and line-height: 1.75rem and line-height: 2rem, within the selected screen sizes.

Example config

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require("tailwindcss-fluid-typography")({
      minScreenWidth: 30, // width in rem
      maxScreenWidth: 80, // width in rem
      unit: "rem",
      suffix: "-fluid",
      prefix: "",
      values: [
        {
          key: "xs",
          fontSize: 0.75,
          lineHeight: 1,
        },
        {
          key: "sm",
          fontSize: 0.875,
          lineHeight: 1.25,
        },
        {
          key: "base",
          fontSize: [0.875, 1],
          lineHeight: [1.25, 1.5],
        },
        {
          key: "lg",
          fontSize: [1, 1.125],
          lineHeight: [1.5, 1.75],
        },
        {
          key: "xl",
          fontSize: [1.125, 1.25],
          lineHeight: [1.5, 1.75],
        },
        {
          key: "2xl",
          fontSize: [1.25, 1.5],
          lineHeight: [1.75, 2],
        },
        {
          key: "3xl",
          fontSize: [1.5, 1.875],
          lineHeight: [2, 2.25],
        },
        {
          key: "4xl",
          fontSize: [1.875, 2.25],
          lineHeight: [2.25, 2.5],
        },
        {
          key: "5xl",
          fontSize: [2.25, 3],
          lineHeight: [2.5, 3.5],
        },
        {
          key: "6xl",
          fontSize: [3, 3.75],
          lineHeight: [3.5, 4.5],
        },
        {
          key: "7xl",
          fontSize: [3.75, 4.5],
          lineHeight: [4.5, 5],
        },
        {
          key: "8xl",
          fontSize: [4.5, 5.5],
          lineHeight: [5, 5.5],
        },
        {
          key: "9xl",
          fontSize: [5.5, 6.25],
          lineHeight: [5.5, 6.25],
        },
      ],
    }),
  ],
};

Then you can use the generated classes in your HTML, just by appending -fluid to the existing font sizes. For example:

<h1 class="text-3xl-fluid">Hello World</h1>

Or you can pass a custom suffix or prefix in config to alter the generated class names:

  suffix: "",
  prefix: "fluid-",

to get

<h1 class="fluid-text-3xl">Hello World</h1>

Letter spacing

You can also control tracking values. You can do that by adding letterSpacing values to your config.

{
    key: '3xl',
    fontSize: [2.125, 5],
    lineHeight: [2.625, 5.5],
    letterSpacing: [-0.003125, -0.00625],
},

You can pass an array with two values to scale between them, or just a number to set a fixed value in case you need so.

{
    key: '3xl',
    fontSize: [2.125, 5],
    lineHeight: [2.625, 5.5],
    letterSpacing: -0.03125,
},
