twshim is a transparent Go wrapper around the standalone Tailwind CSS CLI. The goal of this project is to unify how developers add Tailwind CSS to their Go project by taking care of downloading the executable for the current architecture.

twshim -release v3.2.4 -downloads $HOME/.twshim -- -i in.css -o out.css --minify

twshim can be configured through environment variables or command line arguments:

  -downloads string
        Target directory for executables (override TWSHIM_DOWNLOADS)
  -release string
        Tag of the desired release (overrides TWSHIM_RELEASE)

A double dash (--) is required before the Tailwind CSS parameters to distinguish twshim configuration from Tailwind arguments.

twshim uses runtime.GOOS and runtime.GOARCH to decide which executable to download.

See https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases for a list of Tailwind releases.

You can use go run to invoke twshim if you want to quickly execute a specific version of Tailwind CSS CLI.

go run github.com/ngrash/twshim/cmd/twshim@v0.3.0 -release v3.2.4 -downloads $HOME/.twshim/downloads -- --help

You can also use go get to add twshim to your application and use the twshim package from your code.

go get github.com/ngrash/twshim@v0.3.0
