VPB Tailwind Configuration ​

VitePress Blog uses Tailwind CSS.

Everything is configured and ready to go for you with our starter template

Tailwind.config.js ​

The tailwind.config.js is very simple:

import { defineTailwindConfig } from '@jcamp/vitepress-blog-theme/config'

module.exports = defineTailwindConfig()

This sets the needed content paths and includes the tailwind css icons plugin

defineTailwindConfig ​

If you want to customize tailwind.config.js further, you can pass options to defineTailwindConfig

defineTailwindConfig(base = './src', config: Partial<Config>)

• base: the path your vitepress source is
• config: standard Tailwind config object.

defineTailwindContent ​

defineTailwindContent((base = './src'))

• base: the path your vitepress source is

This function returns a list of needed paths to ensure VitePress Blog's components are included in Tailwind's processing:

return [
  './node_modules/@jcamp/vitepress-blog-theme/src/**/*.{js,ts,vue}',
  path.join(base, '**/*.md'),
  path.join(base, '.vitepress/**/*.{js,ts,vue}'),
]

Full customization ​

If you want to completely, customize your Tailwind config, please be sure the following are included:

import icons from '@jcamp/tailwindcss-plugin-icons'
import { defineTailwindContent } from '@jcamp/vitepress-blog-theme/config'

return {
  darkMode: 'class',
  // @ts-expect-error icons works once transpiled
  plugins: [icons()],
  content: defineTailwindContent(base),
}
