Svelte-Tailwind

Svelte template with Tailwind CSS

Setting up Tailwind with Svelte is really simple, just install necessary dependencies:

npm i -D svelte-preprocess tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer

Create your Tailwind config file

npx tailwindcss init

configure svelte-preprocess in rollup.config.js

import svelte from 'rollup-plugin-svelte';
import resolve from '@rollup/plugin-node-resolve';
import commonjs from '@rollup/plugin-commonjs';
import livereload from 'rollup-plugin-livereload';
import { terser } from 'rollup-plugin-terser';
import sveltePreprocess from 'svelte-preprocess'; // here

// ...

export default {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    svelte({
      dev: !production,
      css: css => {
        css.write('bundle.css');
      },
      preprocess: sveltePreprocess({
        // from here
        postcss: {
          plugins: [require('tailwindcss'), require('autoprefixer')],
        },
      }), // up to this point
    }),
    // ...
  ],
  // ...
};

netx, import Tailwind styles in src/App.svelte :

<script>
  export let name;
</script>

<style global>
  @import 'tailwindcss/base';

  @import 'tailwindcss/components';

  @import 'tailwindcss/utilities';
</style>

<main>
  <h1>Hello {name}!</h1>

</main>

Finally, enable purge in tailwind.config.js:

module.exports = {
  purge: {
    enabled: true,
    content: ['./src/**/*.svelte'],
  },
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  variants: {},
  plugins: [],
};
