## Installation **[View in Visual Studio Code Marketplace →](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bradlc.vscode-tailwindcss)** In order for the extension to activate you must have [`tailwindcss` installed](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation/#1-install-tailwind-via-npm) and a [Tailwind config file](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation/#3-create-your-tailwind-config-file-optional) named `tailwind.config.js` or `tailwind.js` in your workspace. ## Features - **Autocomplete** Intelligent suggestions for class names, [CSS directives](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/), and the [`theme` helper](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/#theme) - **Hover Preview** See the complete CSS for a Tailwind class name by hovering over it - **Linting** Highlights errors and potential bugs in your HTML and CSS files - **CSS Syntax Highlighting** Provides syntax definitions so that use of Tailwind features doesn’t mess up your syntax highlighting ## Troubleshooting ## Settings ### `tailwindCSS.includeLanguages` 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, depending on how you want the new language to be treated (e.g. `html`, `css`, or `javascript`): ```json { "tailwindCSS.includeLanguages": { "plaintext": "html" } } ``` ### `tailwindCSS.emmetCompletions` Enable completions when using [Emmet](https://emmet.io/)-style syntax, for example `div.bg-red-500.uppercase`. **Default: `false`** ```json { "tailwindCSS.emmetCompletions": true } ``` ### `tailwindCSS.validate` Enable linting. Rules can be configured individually using the `tailwindcss.lint` settings: - `ignore`: disable lint rule entirely - `warning`: rule violations will be considered "warnings," typically represented by a yellow underline - `error`: rule violations will be considered "errors," typically represented by a red underline #### `tailwindCSS.lint.invalidScreen` Unknown screen name used with the [`@screen` directive](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/#screen). **Default: `error`** #### `tailwindCSS.lint.invalidVariant` Unknown variant name used with the [`@variants` directive](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/#variants). **Default: `error`** #### `tailwindCSS.lint.invalidTailwindDirective` Unknown value used with the [`@tailwind` directive](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/#tailwind). **Default: `error`** #### `tailwindCSS.lint.invalidApply` Unsupported use of the [`@apply` directive](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/#apply). For example class names which contain pseudo selectors cannot currently be used with `@apply`. **Default: `error`** #### `tailwindCSS.lint.invalidConfigPath` Unknown or invalid path used with the [`theme` helper](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/#theme). **Default: `error`** #### `tailwindCSS.lint.cssPropertyConflict` Class names on the same HTML element which apply the same CSS property or properties. **Default: `warning`**
