[Request] Make extension work with default config found in node_modules about tailwindcss-intellisense HOT 2 CLOSED

I have my config in a custom component in my node_modules how can I tell this extension to look in a particular destination for the config so the @apply picks up on the styles I have?

Path would be node_modules/@component/src/tailwind.config.js

from tailwindcss-intellisense.

We try to be as responsible as possible with regards to extension activation, which is why we use that specific activation event. The problem is that by default VS Code excludes node_modules folders from searches, which makes sense, but means that a tailwind.config.js in there won't trigger the activation event. In the future we may change the activation event, perhaps to onStartupFinished, but for now this is a limitation.

For now if you want to use the extension with the default config you could create an "empty" config file:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {}

And if you want to use a config that exists under node_modules you could create your own config file and re-export it:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = require('@component/src/tailwind.config.js')
