clsx-for-tailwind - A Utility for Merging Tailwind CSS Classes

clsx-for-tailwind is a lightweight utility function for merging Tailwind CSS classes with conditional class names. It combines the power of clsx and tailwind-merge to provide an easy way to manage your CSS class names in a dynamic and maintainable way.

Features

• Conditional Class Names: Easily toggle class names based on conditions.
• Class Name Merging: Automatically merge Tailwind CSS classes without conflicts.
• TypeScript Support: Written in TypeScript for type safety and autocomplete support.

Installation

To install the package, use npm or yarn:

npm install clsx-for-tailwind

or

yarn add clsx-for-tailwind

Usage

Import the cn function and use it to combine your class names:

import { cn } from "clsx-for-tailwind";

const buttonClass = cn("btn", "btn-primary", {
  "btn-large": isLarge,
  "btn-disabled": isDisabled,
});

return <button className={buttonClass}>Click Me</button>;

This example demonstrates how to conditionally add btn-large and btn-disabled classes based on the values of isLarge and isDisabled variables.

API

cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]): string

• inputs: A list of class names, which can be strings, objects, arrays, or a combination of these.
• returns: A single string with all the classes merged and deduplicated.

Example

import { cn } from "clsx-for-tailwind";

const classes = cn(
  "p-4",
  "text-center",
  { "bg-blue-500": isActive, "text-white": isActive },
  ["rounded", "shadow-md"]
);

console.log(classes); // Outputs: "p-4 text-center bg-blue-500 text-white rounded shadow-md"
