A Tailwind CSS plugin that automatically pulls colors and widths from a WordPress theme’s theme.json file, initiated as follows:

// tailwind.config.js
plugins: [
	require('@_tw/themejson'),
]

By default, the theme.json file will be loaded from ./theme/theme.json, relative to the current working directory. (The default path corresponds with that of _tw.) You can override this location by passing a new path as a string:

// tailwind.config.js
plugins: [
	require('@_tw/themejson')('path/to/theme.json'),
]

You can also parse theme.json yourself and pass in the corresponding object:

// tailwind.config.js
plugins: [
	require('@_tw/themejson')(require('path/to/theme.json')),
]

You may need to manage caching should you choose to use require to parse the JSON file.

After initiation, the plugin will extract the base color palette (settings.color.palette) as well as values for contentSize and wideSize.

If one or more of your color palette’s slug values matches a slug in Tailwind’s default color palette, those colors from the default palette—including all shades—will be overridden by the color value from your theme.json file.
