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 🙏

Readme

Overview

This package allows us to utilize TailwindCSS from within LitElement components.

We need to setup the TailwindCSS build process as normal (either via running npx tailwindcss or by configuring it as a PostCSS plugind). See the TailwindCSS site for detils on this.

Once you have tailwind setup to scan the LitElement for classes and produce a CSS file, TWLit then looks for changes to this file and then creates a JS file from it that can be imported to the Static Styles propert of you LitElement. This gives us a nice DX in that Tailwind classes added to your LitElement are automatically generated and can be used with no manual build step required.

This approach also means we use the constructable style sheets functionality that LitElement provides and as such the style sheet will not be duplicated if more than one of our LitElement components are present in the application.

A Full working example of this in use can be found here: https://github.com/MarkJamesHoward/TWLitExampleUse

Usage

Run from the command line

npx twlit --input ./tw.css --output ./twlit.js

Or add to your tooling chain in package.json

"scripts": { "dev" : "twlit --input ./tw.css --output ./twlit.js" }

The process will constantly watch the input file and output a new JS file on each change.

Parameters

--input

Specify the location of your tailwind generated CSS file. In the above example this is the 'tw.css' file. This is the file spit out from running either npx tailwindcss or from your PostCSS setup of tailwind. Either way it contains all the class definitions that we need inside of our LitElement

--output

The output is a JS file that contains all the Tailwind classes within a tagged template literal. This can now be imported into your LitElement

LitElement configuration:

We need to import the JS file that is spit out (from --output above)

import { TWStyles } from "./tailwind/twlit.js";

And then include this in the static Styles property of our LitElement:

static styles = [css``, TWStyles];
