A plugin to provide TailwindCSS utilities for grid areas.
TailwindCSS Grid Areas
A plugin to provide TailwindCSS utilities for grid areas.
The latest release of this plugin (version 1.1 onwards) will work with TailwindCSS versions 1 and 2.
Installation
# npm
npm install --save-dev @savvywombat/tailwindcss-grid-areas
# yarn
yarn add --dev @savvywombat/tailwindcss-grid-areas
Usage
Require the plugin into your tailwindcss.config.js file, and define your template areas:
// tailwindcss.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
gridTemplateAreas: {
'layout': ['header header header', '. main .', 'footer footer footer']
}
},
plugins: [
require('@savvywombat/tailwindcss-grid-areas')
]
}
This will generate the following utilities (in addition to the default):
grid-areas-layout
grid-in-header
grid-in-main
grid-in-footer
col-start-header
col-start-main
col-start-footer
col-end-header
col-end-main
col-end-footer
row-start-header
row-start-main
row-start-footer
row-end-header
row-end-main
row-end-footer
Controlling column widths and row heights
Just as with CSS, gridTemplateAreas works with the core gridTemplateColumns and gridTemplateRows plugins to allow you to control the heights and widths of the grid cells:
// tailwindcss.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
gridTemplateAreas: {
'layout': ['header header header', 'nav main .', 'footer footer footer']
},
gridTemplateColumns: {
'layout': '24rem 1fr 2rem',
},
gridTemplateRows: {
'layout': '4rem 1fr auto',
},
},
plugins: [
require('@savvywombat/tailwindcss-grid-areas')
],
variants: {
gridTemplateAreas: ['responsive']
}
}
<body class="grid grid-areas-layout grid-cols-layout grid-rows-layout h-full">
<header class="grid-in-header"></header>
<nav class="grid-in-nav"></nav>
<main class="grid-in-main"></main>
<footer class="grid-in-footer"></footer>
</body>
Variants
// tailwindcss.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
gridTemplateAreas: {
'wide': ['header header header', '. main .', 'footer footer footer'],
'slim': ['header', 'main', 'footer'],
}
},
plugins: [
require('@savvywombat/tailwindcss-grid-areas')
],
variants: {
gridTemplateAreas: ['responsive']
}
}
Configuring variants for gridTemplateAreas will generate variants for the grid-areas-* utility.
This allows you to modify the grid topology for responsive layouts:
<div class="grid grid-areas-slim md:grid-areas-wide"></div>
The other utilities will not generate variants, since it is better to modify the template areas instead since the column/row start/end lines will adapt to suit.
