Ryan LeglerHey tailwinders out there... What do you do to fight tailwind class soup?
This code image is actually much more more readable than it actually appears in my editor where it doesn't wrap the classNames list so I actually have to horizontally scroll to read all the classes. Perhaps this can be made better with a custom prettier config?
#tailwind #tailwindcss
#tailwind #tailwindcss
kuldar@ryanlegler +1 as much as I love Tailwind, I really wish there was some better tooling around making the class-soup more manageable.
@kuldar Experimenting with a few options...
1. Extract classes out to a StyledComponent - supports Template literals so you can at easily break classNames into multiple lines - vscode tooling still works too!
tailwind-styled-components
Create tailwind css react components like styled components with classes name on multiple lines. Latest version: 2.2.0, last published: 10 months ago. Start using tailwind-styled-components in your project by running `npm i tailwind-styled-components`. There are 15 other projects in the npm registry using tailwind-styled-components.
@ryanlegler Yeah I guess that's kinda similar to the @apply method of Tailwind, but it seems to be discouraged as it's a step back towards coming up with classnames, de-colocating styles from elements and creating potantial invisible dependencies.
I really wish there was something like this in VSCode where you could either collapse all styles that you're not interested in, have some line-wrapping for the classnames as you mentioned, etc.

@lil5 @ryanlegler Haha it was just the last comment in the Github issue you sent me. But yeah, the Tailwind one seemed to be bit more responsive than the generic Fold one.
