unocss-preset-css

unocss-preset-css is a front-end tool which unlocks writing something very close to vanilla CSS directly in the class attribute. Style any element from any other element, styling ::before and ::after directly on their originating element, and using CSS at-rules without breaking to a <style> tag, all without learning new syntax.

It's like Tailwind CSS, or Windi CSS, or any other CSS DOM API, but with the minimum of tool-specific idioms.

Want { color: currentColor }? That's class="{color:currentColor}", not class="text-current"".

Want { line-height: 2 }? That's class="{line-height:2}", not class="leading-loose".

Who is unocss-preset-css for?

• Adventurous fans of writing CSS via a class DOM API interested in trying out patterns other than Tailwind's, in the search for the next evolutionary step.
• People wondering what UnoCSS is all about.
• People who like or are at least intrigued by the idea of writing CSS via a class attribute DOM API but are turned off by Tailwind's (and then Windi's) inconsistent and overloaded renaming of CSS properties.
• People who don't have to try Tailwind to know that they hate it but wouldn't mind something new to casually bad mouth, probably.
