Usage

The twind extension adds highlighting and IntelliSense for Twind classes in JavaScript and TypeScript. It works out of the box when you use VS Code's built-in version of TypeScript.

By default VS Code will not trigger completions when editing "string" content, for example within JSX attribute values. Updating the editor.quickSuggestions setting may improve your experience, particularly when editing Twind classes within JSX:

{
  "editor.suggest.showStatusBar": true,
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "strings": true
  }
}

Custom Twind Configuration

If you have a custom twind configuration you need to extract that into an own file. Create a twind.config.{ts,js,cjs,mjs} in the root, src, config, or public folder. Then import it for use with setup. Here is example using a custom plugin:

import { forms, formInput } from '@twind/forms'

/** @type {import('twind').Configuration} */
export default {
  plugins: { forms, 'form-input': formInput}
}

// Augment the twind module to add addtional completions
declare module 'twind' {
  interface Plugins {
    // forms should have been detected from setup – not need to add it
    // forms: ''

    // We want to add sm and lg modifiers to the form-input
    'form-input':
      | ''    // plain form-input
      | 'sm' // form-input-sm
      | 'lg' // form-input-lg
  }
}

If no twind.config.{ts,js,cjs,mjs} exists and a tailwind.config.{ts,js,cjs,mjs} is found, the compatible values from the tailwind config will be used.

Settings

You can either configure the plugin using VS Code (Extensions - Twind) or configure this plugin using a tsconfig or jsconfig as described here. This requires VS Code 1.53+ and TS 4.1+. Note the VS Code based configuration override the tsconfig or jsconfig configuration.

This extension contributes the following settings:

• twind.tags: use different tagged template tags (default: ['tw', 'apply'])
• twind.attributes: use different attributes (default: ['tw', 'class', 'className'])
• twind.styles: use different style/styled functions (default: ['style', 'styled'])
• twind.debug: enable/disable additional debug information (default: false)

Tags

This extension adds IntelliSense to any template literal tagged with tw or apply:

import { tw } from 'twind'

tw`
  sm:hover:(
    bg-black
    text-white
  )
  md:(bg-white hover:text-black)
`

You can enable IntelliSense for other tag names by configuring twind.tags.

Attributes

This extension adds IntelliSense to JSX tw, class, and className attributes:

<span
  className="text-purple-400"
  tw={`
    sm:hover:(
      bg-black
      text-white
    )
    md:(bg-white hover:text-black)
  `}
>...</span>
`

You can enable IntelliSense for other attributes by configuring twind.attributes

Styles

This extensions adds IntelliSense to style and styled (like @twind/react or @twind/solid)

// Same for style({... })
const Button = styled("button", {
  base: `
    appearance-none border-none bg-transparent
    rounded-full px-2.5
  `,

  variants: {
    variant: {
      gray: `
        bg-gray-500
        hover:bg-gray-600
      `,
      primary: `
        text-white bg-purple-500
        hover:bg-purple-600
      `,
    },

    outlined: {
      true: `bg-transparent ring-1`,
    },
  },

  matches: [
    {
      variant: "gray",
      outlined: true,
      use: `ring-gray-500`,
    },
  }
})

You can enable IntelliSense for other style like functions by configuring twind.styles.
