|
||
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)**
|
||
|
||
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` in your workspace.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
### Autocomplete
|
||
|
||
Intelligent suggestions for class names, as well as [CSS functions and directives](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives/).

||
|
||
### Linting
|
||
|
||
Highlights errors and potential bugs in both your CSS and your markup.

|
||
|
||
### CSS Syntax Highlighting
|
||
|
||
Provides syntax definitions so that Tailwind features are highlighted correctly.
|
||
|
||
## Recommended VS Code Settings
|
||
|
||
VS Code has built-in CSS validation which may display errors when using Tailwind-specific syntax, such as `@apply`. You can disable this with the `css.validate` setting:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
"css.validate": false
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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": true
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Extension 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`**
|
||
|
||
### `tailwindCSS.colorDecorators`
|
||
|
||
Controls whether the editor should render inline color decorators for Tailwind CSS classes and helper functions. **Default: `true`**
|
||
|
||
> Note that `editor.colorDecorators` must be enabled for color decorators to be shown.
|
||
|
||
### `tailwindCSS.showPixelEquivalents`
|
||
|
||
Show `px` equivalents for `rem` CSS values in completions and hovers. **Default: `true`**
|
||
|
||
### `tailwindCSS.rootFontSize`
|
||
|
||
Root font size in pixels. Used to convert `rem` CSS values to their `px` equivalents. See [`tailwindCSS.showPixelEquivalents`](#tailwindcssshowpixelequivalents). **Default: `16`**
|
||
|
||
### `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). **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.cssConflict`
|
||
|
||
Class names on the same HTML element which apply the same CSS property or properties. **Default: `warning`**
|
||
|
||
#### `tailwindCSS.lint.recommendedVariantOrder`
|
||
|
||
Class variants not in the recommended order (applies in [JIT mode](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/just-in-time-mode) only). **Default: `warning`**
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
If you’re having issues getting the IntelliSense features to activate, there are a few things you can check:
|
||
|
||
- Ensure that you have a Tailwind config file in your workspace and that this is named `tailwind.config.js`. 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`.
|
||
- Make sure your VS Code settings aren’t causing your Tailwind config file to be excluded from search, for example via the `search.exclude` setting.
