tailwind-merge
Advanced tools
Utility function to efficiently merge Tailwind CSS classes in JS without style conflicts.
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge'
twMerge('px-2 py-1 bg-red hover:bg-dark-red', 'p-3 bg-[#B91C1C]')
// → 'hover:bg-dark-red p-3 bg-[#B91C1C]'
The classnames package is a popular utility for conditionally joining class names together. It's not Tailwind-specific, but it's often used in projects to manage dynamic class strings. Unlike tailwind-merge, it does not deduplicate or resolve conflicts specific to Tailwind CSS.
clsx is an alternative to classnames with a similar API and is used for constructing class strings conditionally. Like classnames, it does not offer Tailwind-specific deduplication or conflict resolution.
