twss-loader

why a loader for tailwind css

tailwind css is great but the only thing i hate about tailwind css is its inline style, it grows bigger and bigger and our app looks more dirty even if the output is great thats why I created a this loader that with loads .twss to jsvascript.

from

app.js

const App = () => (
  <h1 class=" text-4xl mt-52 font-extrabold tracking-widest text-center z-10 bg-blue-100 flex and-so-on">
    inline styled react component
  </h1>
);

to

style.twss

*title:
  text-4xl
  mt-52
  font-extrabold
  tracking-widest
  text-center
  z-10
  bg-blue-100
  flex
  and-so-on

app.js

import { title } from "./style.twss";
const App = () => <h1 class={title}>inline styled react component</h1>;

interesting ! lets set it up

cmd:- npm install twss-loader --save-dev webpack.config.js

module.exports={
  ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      ...,
      {
        test: /\.twss/,
        loader: "twss-loader",
      },
      ...,
    ],
  },
  ...
}

variables

variables is not different in twss. It is like this .twss

*blue: bg-blue-300 *mainDiv: flex justify-center *blue

loaded js output

module.exports = {
  blue: "bg-blue-300",
  mainDiv: "flex justify-center bg-blue-300",
};

! remember it have scopes, *blue should be defined before *mainDiv

future plans

the future plan is to make import and export synstem, and instead of converting it to javascript, it will convert it to css.

what is *?

*star tells the loader that this is a class, it makes difference between lg:text-center and class.
