Tailwind CSS IntelliSense enhances the Tailwind development experience by providing Visual Studio Code users with advanced features such as autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and linting.
## Installation
**[Install via the Visual Studio Code Marketplace →](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bradlc.vscode-tailwindcss)**
2023-08-10 13:55:51 +00:00
In order for the extension to activate you must have [`tailwindcss` installed](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation) and a [Tailwind config file](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation#create-your-configuration-file) named `tailwind.config.{js,cjs,mjs,ts}` in your workspace.
## Features
### Autocomplete
Intelligent suggestions for class names, as well as [CSS functions and directives](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/).

### Tailwind CSS Language Mode
An alternative to VS Code's built-in CSS language mode which maintains full CSS IntelliSense support even when using Tailwind-specific at-rules. Syntax definitions are also provided so that Tailwind-specific syntax is highlighted correctly in all CSS contexts.
## Recommended VS Code Settings
### `files.associations`
Use the `files.associations` setting to tell VS Code to always open `.css` files in Tailwind CSS mode:
```
"files.associations": {
"*.css": "tailwindcss"
}
```
### `editor.quickSuggestions`
By default VS Code will not trigger completions when editing "string" content, for example within JSX attribute values. Updating the `editor.quickSuggestions` setting may improve your experience:
```
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"strings": "on"
}
```
## Extension Commands
### `Tailwind CSS: Show Output`
Reveal the language server log panel. This command is only available when there is an active language server instance.
### `Tailwind CSS: Sort Selection` (pre-release)
When a list of CSS classes is selected this command can be used to sort them in [the same order that Tailwind orders them in your CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/automatic-class-sorting-with-prettier#how-classes-are-sorted). This command is only available when the current document belongs to an active Tailwind project and the `tailwindcss` version is `3.0.0` or greater.
## Extension Settings
### `tailwindCSS.includeLanguages`
2023-01-04 10:48:24 +00:00
This setting allows you to add additional language support. The key of each entry is the new language ID and the value is any one of the extensions [built-in languages](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-intellisense/blob/master/packages/tailwindcss-language-service/src/util/languages.ts), depending on how you want the new language to be treated (e.g. `html`, `css`, or `javascript`):
```json
{
"tailwindCSS.includeLanguages": {
"plaintext": "html"
}
}
```

By default the extension will automatically use the first `tailwind.config.{js,cjs,mjs,ts}` file that it can find to provide Tailwind CSS IntelliSense. Use this setting to manually specify the config file(s) yourself instead.
If your project contains a single Tailwind config file you can specify a string value:
```
"tailwindCSS.experimental.configFile": ".config/tailwind.config.js"
```
For projects with multiple config files use an object where each key is a config file path and each value is a glob pattern (or array of glob patterns) representing the set of files that the config file applies to:
```
"tailwindCSS.experimental.configFile": {
"themes/simple/tailwind.config.js": "themes/simple/**",
"themes/neon/tailwind.config.js": "themes/neon/**"
}
```
## Troubleshooting
If youre having issues getting the IntelliSense features to activate, there are a few things you can check:
2023-08-10 13:55:51 +00:00
- Ensure that you have a Tailwind config file in your workspace and that this is named `tailwind.config.{js,cjs,mjs,ts}`. Check out the Tailwind documentation for details on [creating a config file](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation#create-your-configuration-file).
- Ensure that the `tailwindcss` module is installed in your workspace, via `npm`, `yarn`, or `pnpm`.
2021-08-13 11:35:59 +00:00
- Make sure your VS Code settings arent causing your Tailwind config file to be hidden/ignored, for example via the `files.exclude` or `files.watcherExclude` settings.
2021-06-04 13:07:25 +00:00
- Take a look at the language server output by running the `Tailwind CSS: Show Output` command from the command palette. This may show errors that are preventing the extension from activating.
