This is a template demonstrating how to integrate TailwindCSS with the Leptos web framework and the trunk tool.

Install Tailwind and build the CSS:

Trunk.toml is configured to build the CSS automatically.

Install trunk to client side render this bundle.

cargo install trunk Then the site can be served with trunk serve --open

The browser will automatically open http://127.0.0.1:8080//

You can begin editing your app at src/app.rs.

You can install Tailwind using npm:

npm install -D tailwindcss

If you'd rather not use npm, you can install the Tailwind binary here.

If you're using VS Code, add the following to your settings.json

  "emmet.includeLanguages": {
    "rust": "html",
    "*.rs": "html"
  },
  "tailwindCSS.includeLanguages": {
      "rust": "html",
      "*.rs": "html"
  },
  "files.associations": {
      "*.rs": "rust"
  },
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "other": "on",
    "comments": "on",
    "strings": true
  },
  "css.validate": false,

Install Tailwind CSS Intellisense.

Install "VS Browser" extension, a browser at the right window.
Allow vscode Ports forward: 3000, 3001.

By default, cargo-leptos uses nightly Rust, cargo-generate, and sass. If you run into any trouble, you may need to install one or more of these tools.

1. rustup toolchain install nightly --allow-downgrade - make sure you have Rust nightly
2. rustup default nightly - setup nightly as default, or you can use rust-toolchain file later on
3. rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown - add the ability to compile Rust to WebAssembly
4. cargo install cargo-generate - install cargo-generate binary (should be installed automatically in future)
5. npm install -g sass - install dart-sass (should be optional in future

This is based on the original Tailwind example (../examples/tailwind)
