I installed POSTCSS and Flask assets into my build and want to use tailwind. My environment is the WSL Unbuntu on windows 11 so all is in a Unbuntu Shell
I installed Flask-assets
# CSS Build
assets = Environment(app)
css = Bundle("src/style.css", output="dist/main.css", filters="postcss")
assets.register("css", css)
css.build()
I have my 'src/styles.css` and it looks like so:
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
And my tailwind config looks like this:
const path = require('path');
module.exports = (ctx) => ({
plugins: [
require('tailwindcss')(path.resolve(__dirname, 'tailwind.config.js')),
require('autoprefixer'),
process.env.FLASK_PROD === 'production' && require('@fullhuman/postcss-purgecss')({
content: [
path.resolve(__dirname, 'templates/**/*.html')
],
defaultExtractor: content => content.match(/[A-Za-z0-9-_:/]+/g) || []
})
],
});
I have no build errors or anything causing issues but my 'dist/main.css' is outputting like so:
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
/*# sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64, etc etc
As you can see its not building out correctly and Im not sure where I went wrong. I installed with npm the following for postcss
npm install tailwindcss postcss postcss-cli autoprefixer @fullhuman/postcss-purgecss
and I followed this guide as I'm new to tailwind https://testdriven.io/blog/flask-htmx-tailwind/
If anyone can shed some light on the issue id be very happy
The example says you need to run
tailwindcss -i ./static/src/main.css -o ./static/dist/main.css --minify
You've done that part or did flask-assets automate the whole process for you?
The example actually says that tailwind should look like this:
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
content: ['./zephyr/templates/**/*.html',],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
