This PR upgrades `lightningcss` to `1.29.0` and uses the [new feature
flag](304389600f)
to disable the light-dark function transpilation.
Resolves https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions/15387
This PR changes the Chrome target to 111. We initially picked 120
because of the unnecessary `:dir()` down-leveling but we that was maybe
a bit too recent as it was causing some necessary prefixes to not be
generated (e.g. `-webkit-background-clip`).
This PR changes it to 111 which we require for the `color-mix()`
function. To work around the `:dir()` down-leveling we also disable the
`DirSelector` lightningcss feature which is used to control this
behavior:

Closes#15160
We need to set browser targets for each browser individually to see
vendor prefixes created for each browser.
Exact values are up for discussion, this first pass is taken from

Fix#15085
We were relying on Node's printing of errors during build but this
prints the line of code the error occurs on. Since the code is minified
you'd get a really long string of code that wrapped a ton in the console
before the actual error. Now we print errors during build like we do in
watch mode.
This PR improves the generated CSS by running it through Lightning CSS
twice.Right now Lightning CSS merges adjacent at-rules and at the end
flattens the nesting. This means that after the nesting is flattened,
the at-rules that are adjacent and could be merged together will not be
merged.
This PR improves our output by running Lightning CSS twice on the
generated CSS which will make sure to merge adjacent at-rules after the
nesting is flattened.
Note: in the diff output you'll notice that some properties are
duplicated. These need some fixes in Lightning CSS itself but they don't
break anything for us right now.

When migrating a project from Tailwind CSS v3 to Tailwind CSS v4, then
we started the migration process in the following order:
1. Migrate the JS/TS config file
2. Migrate the source files (found via the `content` option)
3. Migrate the CSS files
However, if you have a setup where you have multiple CSS root files
(e.g.: `frontend` and `admin` are separated), then that typically means
that you have an `@config` directive in your CSS files. These point to
the Tailwind CSS config file.
This PR changes the migration order to do the following:
1. Build a tree of all the CSS files
2. For each `@config` directive, migrate the JS/TS config file
3. For each JS/TS config file, migrate the source files
If a CSS file does not contain any `@config` directives, then we start
by filling in the `@config` directive with the default Tailwind CSS
config file (if found, or the one passed in). If no default config file
or passed in config file can be found, then we will error out (just like
we do now)

This PR introduces a new `source(…)` argument and improves on the
existing `@source`. The goal of this PR is to make the automatic source
detection configurable, let's dig in.
By default, we will perform automatic source detection starting at the
current working directory. Auto source detection will find plain text
files (no binaries, images, ...) and will ignore git-ignored files.
If you want to start from a different directory, you can use the new
`source(…)` next to the `@import "tailwindcss/utilities"
layer(utilities) source(…)`.
E.g.:
```css
/* ./src/styles/index.css */
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities' layer(utilities) source('../../');
```
Most people won't split their source files, and will just use the simple
`@import "tailwindcss";`, because of this reason, you can use
`source(…)` on the import as well:
E.g.:
```css
/* ./src/styles/index.css */
@import 'tailwindcss' source('../../');
```
Sometimes, you want to rely on auto source detection, but also want to
look in another directory for source files. In this case, yuo can use
the `@source` directive:
```css
/* ./src/index.css */
@import 'tailwindcss';
/* Look for `blade.php` files in `../resources/views` */
@source '../resources/views/**/*.blade.php';
```
However, you don't need to specify the extension, instead you can just
point the directory and all the same automatic source detection rules
will apply.
```css
/* ./src/index.css */
@import 'tailwindcss';
@source '../resources/views';
```
If, for whatever reason, you want to disable the default source
detection feature entirely, and only want to rely on very specific glob
patterns you define, then you can disable it via `source(none)`.
```css
/* Completely disable the default auto source detection */
@import 'tailwindcss' source(none);
/* Only look at .blade.php files, nothing else */
@source "../resources/views/**/*.blade.php";
```
Note: even with `source(none)`, if your `@source` points to a directory,
then auto source detection will still be performed in that directory. If
you don't want that, then you can simply add explicit files in the globs
as seen in the previous example.
```css
/* Completely disable the default auto source detection */
@import 'tailwindcss' source(none);
/* Run auto source detection in `../resources/views` */
@source "../resources/views";
```

This PR improves the performance of the `@tailwindcss/postcss` plugin.
Before this change we created 2 compiler instances instead of a single
one. On a project where a `tailwindcss.config.ts` file is used, this
means that the timings look like this:
```
[@tailwindcss/postcss] Setup compiler: 137.525ms
⋮
[@tailwindcss/postcss] Setup compiler: 43.95ms
```
This means that with this small change, we can easily shave of ~50ms for
initial PostCSS builds.

This PR exposes when using the the `DEBUG` environment variable. This
follows the `DEBUG` conventions where:
- `DEBUG=1`
- `DEBUG=true`
- `DEBUG=*`
- `DEBUG=tailwindcss`
Will enable the debug information, but when using:
- `DEBUG=0`
- `DEBUG=false`
- `DEBUG=-tailwindcss`
It will not.
This currently only exposes some timings related to:
1. Scanning for candidates
2. Building the CSS
3. Optimizing the CSS
We can implement a more advanced version of this where we also expose
more fine grained information such as the files we scanned, the amount
of candidates we found and so on. But I believe that this will be enough
to start triaging performance related issues.
Fixes#14521
When using the CLI to read files from `stdin` like this:
```bash
npx tailwindcss --input=- -o bar.css < foo.css
```
We need to set the `base` path to be the current working directory
(`process.cwd()`). However, `cwd()` already _is_ a directory and calling
`dirname()` on it did go to the parent directory _which might not have
the `tailwindcss` dependency installed.
This PR brings `@import` resolution into Tailwind CSS core. This means
that our clients (PostCSS, Vite, and CLI) no longer need to depend on
`postcss` and `postcss-import` to resolve `@import`. Furthermore this
simplifies the handling of relative paths for `@source`, `@plugin`, or
`@config` in transitive CSS files (where the relative root should always
be relative to the CSS file that contains the directive). This PR also
fixes a plugin resolution bug where non-relative imports (e.g. directly
importing node modules like `@plugin '@tailwindcss/typography';`) would
not work in CSS files that are based in a different npm package.
### Resolving `@import`
The core of the `@import` resolution is inside
`packages/tailwindcss/src/at-import.ts`. There, to keep things
performant, we do a two-step process to resolve imports. Imagine the
following input CSS file:
```css
@import "tailwindcss/theme.css";
@import "tailwindcss/utilities.css";
```
Since our AST walks are synchronous, we will do a first traversal where
we start a loading request for each `@import` directive. Once all loads
are started, we will await the promise and do a second walk where we
actually replace the AST nodes with their resolved stylesheets. All of
this is recursive, so that `@import`-ed files can again `@import` other
files.
The core `@import` resolver also includes extensive test cases for
[various combinations of media query and supports conditionals as well
als layered
imports](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@import).
When the same file is imported multiple times, the AST nodes are
duplicated but duplicate I/O is avoided on a per-file basis, so this
will only load one file, but include the `@theme` rules twice:
```css
@import "tailwindcss/theme.css";
@import "tailwindcss/theme.css";
```
### Adding a new `context` node to the AST
One limitation we had when working with the `postcss-import` plugin was
the need to do an additional traversal to rewrite relative `@source`,
`@plugin`, and `@config` directives. This was needed because we want
these paths to be relative to the CSS file that defines the directive
but when flattening a CSS file, this information is no longer part of
the stringifed CSS representation. We worked around this by rewriting
the content of these directives to be relative to the input CSS file,
which resulted in added complexity and caused a lot of issues with
Windows paths in the beginning.
Now that we are doing the `@import` resolution in core, we can use a
different data structure to persist this information. This PR adds a new
`context` node so that we can store arbitrary context like this inside
the Ast directly. This allows us to share information with the sub tree
_while doing the Ast walk_.
Here's an example of how the new `context` node can be used to share
information with subtrees:
```ts
const ast = [
rule('.foo', [decl('color', 'red')]),
context({ value: 'a' }, [
rule('.bar', [
decl('color', 'blue'),
context({ value: 'b' }, [
rule('.baz', [decl('color', 'green')]),
]),
]),
]),
]
walk(ast, (node, { context }) => {
if (node.kind !== 'declaration') return
switch (node.value) {
case 'red': assert(context.value === undefined)
case 'blue': assert(context.value === 'a')
case 'green': assert(context.value === 'b')
}
})
```
In core, we use this new Ast node specifically to persist the `base`
path of the current CSS file. We put the input CSS file `base` at the
root of the Ast and then overwrite the `base` on every `@import`
substitution.
### Removing the dependency on `postcss-import`
Now that we support `@import` resolution in core, our clients no longer
need a dependency on `postcss-import`. Furthermore, most dependencies
also don't need to know about `postcss` at all anymore (except the
PostCSS client, of course!).
This also means that our workaround for rewriting `@source`, the
`postcss-fix-relative-paths` plugin, can now go away as a shared
dependency between all of our clients. Note that we still have it for
the PostCSS plugin only, where it's possible that users already have
`postcss-import` running _before_ the `@tailwindcss/postcss` plugin.
Here's an example of the changes to the dependencies for our Vite client
✨ :
<img width="854" alt="Screenshot 2024-09-19 at 16 59 45"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ae1f9d5f-d93a-4de9-9244-61af3aff1237">
### Performance
Since our Vite and CLI clients now no longer need to use `postcss` at
all, we have also measured a significant improvement to the initial
build times. For a small test setup that contains only a hand full of
files (nothing super-complex), we measured an improvement in the
**3.5x** range:
<img width="1334" alt="Screenshot 2024-09-19 at 14 52 49"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/06071fb0-7f2a-4de6-8ec8-f202d2cc78e5">
The code for this is in the commit history if you want to reproduce the
results. The test was based on the Vite client.
### Caveats
One thing to note is that we previously relied on finding specific
symbols in the input CSS to _bail out of Tailwind processing
completely_. E.g. if a file does not contain a `@tailwind` or `@apply`
directive, it can never be a Tailwind file.
Since we no longer have a string representation of the flattened CSS
file, we can no longer do this check. However, the current
implementation was already inconsistent with differences on the allowed
symbol list between our clients. Ideally, Tailwind CSS should figure out
wether a CSS file is a Tailwind CSS file. This, however, is left as an
improvement for a future API since it goes hand-in-hand with our planned
API changes for the core `tailwindcss` package.

When we observe that no new candidates were found, then we can return
early because nothing really changed. There is also no need to
re-optimize (use Lightning CSS) in this case.
But this had a side effect that when no new candidates were detected,
that you didn't see any output either. This feels like nothing is
working from a DX perspective.
Typically you are changing things, so it's not really a problem. But the
moment you use a class that already existed (e.g.: in another file) you
also don't get any output because we have a shared cache.
This PR solves that by always showing the output. But it still doesn't
write to disk if nothing changed.

When you configure custom content globs inside an `@config` file, we
want to tread these globs as being relative to that config file and not
the CSS file that requires the content file. A config can be used by
multiple CSS configs.

In Tailwind v4 the CSS file is the main entry point to your project and
is generally configured via `@theme`. However, given that all v3
projects were configured via a `tailwind.config.js` file we definitely
need to support those. This PR adds support for loading existing
Tailwind config files by adding an `@config` directive to the CSS —
similar to how v3 supported multiple config files except that this is
now _required_ to use a config file.
You can load a config file like so:
```
@import "tailwindcss";
@config "./path/to/tailwind.config.js";
```
A few notes:
- Both CommonJS and ESM config files are supported (loaded directly via
`import()` in Node)
- This is not yet supported in Intellisense or Prettier — should
hopefully land next week
- TypeScript is **not yet** supported in the config file — this will be
handled in a future PR.

This PR adds a new standalone client: A single-binary file that you can
use to run Tailwind v4 without having a node setup. To make this work we
use Bun's single-binary build which can properly package up native
modules and the bun runtime for us so we do not have to rely on any
expand-into-tmp-folder-at-runtime workarounds.
When running locally, `pnpm build` will now standalone artifacts inside
`packages/@tailwindcss-standalone/dist`. Note that since we do not build
Oxide for other environments in the local setup, you won't be able to
use the standalone artifacts for other platforms in local dev mode.
Unfortunately Bun does not have support for Windows ARM builds yet but
we found that using the `bun-baseline` runtime for Windows x64 would
make the builds work fine in ARM emulation mode:
Some Bun related issues we faced and worked around:
- We found that the regular Windows x64 build of `bun` does not run on
Windows ARM via emulation. Instead, we have to use the `bun-baseline`
builds which emulate correctly.
- When we tried to bundle artifacts with [embed
directories](https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/executables#embed-directories),
node binary dependencies were no longer resolved correctly even though
they would still be bundled and accessible within the [`embeddedFiles`
list](https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/executables#listing-embedded-files).
We worked around this by using the `import * as from ... with { type:
"file" };` and patching the resolver we use in our CLI.
- If you have an import to a module that is used as a regular import
_and_ a `with { type: "file" }`, it will either return the module in
both cases _or_ the file path when we would expect only the `with {
type: "file" }` import to return the path. We do read the Tailwind CSS
version via the file system and `require.resolve()` in the CLI and via
`import * from './package.json'` in core and had to work around this by
patching the version resolution in our CLI.
```ts
import packageJson from "./package.json"
import packageJsonPath from "./package.json" with {type: "file"}
// We do not expect these to be equal
packageJson === packageJsonPath
```
- We can not customize the app icon used for Windows `.exe` builds
without decompiling the binary. For now we will leave the default but
one workaround is to [use tools like
ResourceHacker](698d9c4bd1)
to decompile the binary first.

This PR updates the API for interacting with the Oxide API. Until now,
we used the name `scanDir(…)` which is fine, but we do way more work
right now.
We now have features such as:
1. Auto source detection (can be turned off, e.g.: `@tailwindcss/vite`
doesn't need it)
2. Scan based on `@source`s found in CSS files
3. Do "incremental" rebuilds (which means that the `scanDir(…)` result
was stateful).
To solve these issues, this PR introduces a new `Scanner` class where
you can pass in the `detectSources` and `sources` options. E.g.:
```ts
let scanner = new Scanner({
// Optional, omitting `detectSources` field disables automatic source detection
detectSources: { base: __dirname },
// List of glob entries to scan. These come from `@source` directives in CSS.
sources: [
{ base: __dirname, pattern: "src/**/*.css" },
// …
],
});
```
The scanner object has the following API:
```ts
export interface ChangedContent {
/** File path to the changed file */
file?: string
/** Contents of the changed file */
content?: string
/** File extension */
extension: string
}
export interface DetectSources {
/** Base path to start scanning from */
base: string
}
export interface GlobEntry {
/** Base path of the glob */
base: string
/** Glob pattern */
pattern: string
}
export interface ScannerOptions {
/** Automatically detect sources in the base path */
detectSources?: DetectSources
/** Glob sources */
sources?: Array<GlobEntry>
}
export declare class Scanner {
constructor(opts: ScannerOptions)
scan(): Array<string>
scanFiles(input: Array<ChangedContent>): Array<string>
get files(): Array<string>
get globs(): Array<GlobEntry>
}
```
The `scanFiles(…)` method is used for incremental rebuilds. It takes the
`ChangedContent` array for all the new/changes files. It returns whether
we scanned any new candidates or not.
Note that the `scanner` object is stateful, this means that we don't
have to track candidates in a `Set` anymore. We can just call
`getCandidates()` when we need it.
This PR also removed some unused code that we had in the `scanDir(…)`
function to allow for sequential or parallel `IO`, and sequential or
parallel `Parsing`. We only used the same `IO` and `Parsing` strategies
for all files, so I just got rid of it.

Alternative to #14110
This PR changes the way how we load plugins to be compatible with ES6
async `import`s. This allows us to load plugins even inside the browser
but it comes at a downside: We now have to change the `compile` API to
return a `Promise`...
So most of this PR is rewriting all of the call sites of `compile` to
expect a promise instead of the object.

This PR is an umbrella PR where we will add support for the new
`@source` directive. This will allow you to add explicit content glob
patterns if you want to look for Tailwind classes in other files that
are not automatically detected yet.
Right now this is an addition to the existing auto content detection
that is automatically enabled in the `@tailwindcss/postcss` and
`@tailwindcss/cli` packages. The `@tailwindcss/vite` package doesn't use
the auto content detection, but uses the module graph instead.
From an API perspective there is not a lot going on. There are only a
few things that you have to know when using the `@source` directive, and
you probably already know the rules:
1. You can use multiple `@source` directives if you want.
2. The `@source` accepts a glob pattern so that you can match multiple
files at once
3. The pattern is relative to the current file you are in
4. The pattern includes all files it is matching, even git ignored files
1. The motivation for this is so that you can explicitly point to a
`node_modules` folder if you want to look at `node_modules` for whatever
reason.
6. Right now we don't support negative globs (starting with a `!`) yet,
that will be available in the near future.
Usage example:
```css
/* ./src/input.css */
@import "tailwindcss";
@source "../laravel/resources/views/**/*.blade.php";
@source "../../packages/monorepo-package/**/*.js";
```
It looks like the PR introduced a lot of changes, but this is a side
effect of all the other plumbing work we had to do to make this work.
For example:
1. We added dedicated integration tests that run on Linux and Windows in
CI (just to make sure that all the `path` logic is correct)
2. We Have to make sure that the glob patterns are always correct even
if you are using `@import` in your CSS and use `@source` in an imported
file. This is because we receive the flattened CSS contents where all
`@import`s are inlined.
3. We have to make sure that we also listen for changes in the files
that match any of these patterns and trigger a rebuild.

This PR changes the GitHub action workflow for V4 to start running all
unit tests and build on both Ubuntu (our current default) _and_ Windows.
This is to ensure we catch issues with paths and other Windows-specific
things sooner. It does, however, not replace testing on Windows.

* Return early
* Load plugins right away instead later
* Use correct type for variant name
* Preliminary support for addVariant plugins in PostCSS plugin

* add `@tailwindcss/optimize` as a separate package
* remove lightningcss from `tailwindcss`
* import `optimizeCss` from `@tailwindcss/optimize`
* ensure we use `src/` files in development
* move `devDependencies` after `dependencies`
Just for consistency
* inline `optimizeCss` in leaf packages
Instead of introducing a custom `@tailwindcss/optimize` package
* update changelog
* fix changelog
* ensure we don't crash on deleted files
* change return type of `compile` to include a `rebuild()` function
This will allow us in the future to perform incremental rebuilds after
the initial rebuild. This is purely the API change so that we can
prepare all the call sites to use this new API.
* set `@tailwind utilities` nodes
Instead of replacing the node that represents the `@tailwind utilities`
with the generated AST nodes from the rawCandidates, we will set the
nodes of the `@tailwind utilities` rule to the AST nodes instead.
This way we dont' have to remove and replace the `@tailwind utilities`
rule with `n` new nodes. This will later allow us to track the
`@tailwindcss utilities` rule itself and update its `nodes` for
incremental rebuilds.
This also requires a small change to the printer where we now need to
print the children of the `@tailwind utilities` rule. Note: we keep the
same `depth` as-if the `@tailwindcss utilities` rule was not there.
Otherwise additional indentation would be present.
* move sorting to the `ast.sort()` call
This will allow us to keep sorting AST nodes in a single spot.
* move parser functions to the `DesignSystem`
This allows us to put all the parsers in the `DesignSystem`, this allows
us to scope the parsers to the current design system (the current theme,
current utility values and variants).
The implementation of these parsers are also using a `DefaultMap`
implementation. This allows us to make use of caching and only parse a
candidate, parse a variant or compile AST nodes for a given raw
candidate once if we've already done this work in the past.
Again, this is scoped to the `DesignSystem` itself. This means that if
the corresponding theme changes, then we will create a new
`DesignSystem` entirely and the caches will be garbage collected. This
is important because a candidate like `bg-primary` can be invalid in
`DesignSystem` A, but can be valid in `DesignSystem` B and vice versa.
* ensure we sort variants alphabetically by root
For incremental rebuilds we don't know all the used variants upfront,
which means that we can't sort them upfront either (what we used to do).
This code now allows us to sort the variants deterministically when
sorting the variants themselves instead of relying on the fact that they
used to be sorted before.
The sort itself could change slightly compared to the previous
implementation (especially when you used stacked variants in your
candidates), but it will still be deterministic.
* replace `localeCompare` comparisons
Use cheaper comparisons than `localeCompare` when comparing 2 strings.
We currently don't care if it is 100% correctly sorted, but we just want
consistent sorting. This is currently faster compared to
`localeCompare`.
Another benefit is that `localeCompare` could result in
non-deterministic results if the CSS was generated on 2 separate
computers where the `locale` is different.
We could solve that by adding a dedicated locale, but it would still be
slower compared to this.
* track invalid candidates
When an incoming raw candidates doesn't produce any output, then we can
mark it as an invalid candidate. This will allow us to reduce the amount
of candidates to handle in incremental rebuilds.
* add initial incremental rebuild implementation
This includes a number of steps:
1. Track the `@tailwind utilities` rule, so that we can adjust its nodes
later without re-parsing the full incoming CSS.
2. Add the new incoming raw candidates to the existing set of
candidates.
3. Parse the merged set to `compileCandidates` (this can accept any
`Iterable<string>`, which means `string[]`, `Set<string>`, ...)
4. Get the new AST nodes, update the `@tailwind utilities` rule's nodes
and re-print the AST to CSS.
* improvement 1: ignore known invalid candidates
This will reduce the amount of candidates to handle. They would
eventually be skipped anyway, but now we don't even have to re-parse
(and hit a cache) at all.
* improvement 2: skip work, when generated AST is the same
Currently incremental rebuilds are additive, which means that we are not
keeping track if we should remove CSS again in development.
We can exploit this information, because now we can quickly check the
amoutn of generated AST nodes.
- If they are the same then nothing new is generated — this means that
we can re-use the previous compiled CSS. We don't even have to
re-print the AST because we already did do that work in the past.
- If there are more AST nodes, something new is generated — this means
that we should update the `@tailwind utilities` rule and re-print the
CSS. We can store the result for future incremental rebuilds.
* improvement 3: skip work if no new candidates are detected
- We already know a set of candidates from previous runs.
- We also already know a set of candidates that are invalid and don't
produce anything.
This means that an incremental rebuild could give us a new set of
candidates that either already exist or are invalid.
If nothing changes, then we can re-use the compiled CSS.
This actually happens more often than you think, and the bigger your
project is the better this optimization will be.
For example:
```
// Imagine file A exists:
<div class="flex items-center justify-center"></div>
<button class="text-red-500">Delete</button>
```
```
// Now you add a second file B:
<div class="text-red-500 flex"></div>
```
You just created a brand new file with a bunch of HTML elements and
classes, yet all of the candidates in file B already exist in file A, so
nothing changes to the actual generated CSS.
Now imagine the other hundreds of files that already contain hundreds of
classes.
The beauty of this optimization is two-fold:
- On small projects, compiling is very fast even without this check.
This means it is performant.
- On bigger projects, we will be able to re-use existing candidates.
This means it stays performant.
* remove `getAstNodeSize`
We can move this up the tree and move it to the `rebuild` function
instead.
* remove invalid candidate tracking from `DesignSystem`
This isn't used anywhere but only in the `rebuild` of the compile step.
This allows us to remove it entirely from core logic, and move it up the
chain where it is needed.
* replace `throwOnInvalidCandidate` with `onInvalidCanidate`
This was only needed for working with `@apply`, now this logic _only_
exists in the code path where we are handling `@apply`.
* update `compile` API signature
* update callsite of `compile()` function
* fix typo
* only run Lightning CSS when passing `--minify` to the CLI
* only optimize the CSS when creating a production build
* add `optimize` option to PostCSS plugin
- The optimize option can be set to `true`, which will optimize
(unnesting, adding browser prefixes, lowering values) and minify
- The optimize option can also be set to `{ minify: false }`, which will
optimize but not minify.
* default `optimize` option to the true for `NODE_ENV=production`
* add `--optimize` flag to CLI
This will only optimize the CSS output without minification.
* update `--minify` description
* update changelog
In some environments, depending on the Node version importing a `.json`
file without a `with` or `assert` doesn't work.
Let's play it safe and use an `fs.readFileSync` instead.
* move `cli` to its own package `@tailwindcss/cli`
* minify builds when using `tsup`
* prefer tsup cli flag over tsup.config.ts file
* add `--clean`, to make sure `dist/` folders are cleaned before building
* make CLI esm only
* use version of `tailwindcss` instead of the version of `@tailwindcss/cli`
