leptos-twelements

A UI component library for Leptos, based on Tailwind Elements.

Installation (for projects using cargo leptos)

1. Use the nightly rust compiler. This crate doesn't work with stable rust yet.

2. Add the following to the Cargo.toml of your Leptos project:

[dependencies]
leptos-twelements = "^0.1.0"

[build-dependencies]
leptos-twelements = "^0.1.0"

[features]
ssr = [
    # ... leptos probably already has some other entries here
    "leptos-twelements/ssr",
    # ...
]

3. Add the following to your tailwind.config.js:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: {
    relative: true,
    files: [
      ...
      "./target/.leptos-twelements/rs/**/*.rs",
      "./target/.leptos-twelements/js/**/*.js",
    ],
  },
  plugins: [require("./target/.leptos-twelements/plugin.cjs")]
}

Note that plugin.cjs and the js directory aren't there just yet, but we'll add a build script generating them in the next step.

4. Add the following build.rs to your Leptos project to generate those files:

use std::path::Path;

fn main() {
    let target_dir = Path::new(&env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR")).join("target");
    leptos_twelements::install_files_to(&target_dir);
}

5. Add a call to .setup_twelements() to the axum router setup:

    use leptos_twelements::AxumRouterExt;
    let app = Router::new()
        // ...
        .setup_twelements()
        // ...

This function call will add the necessary routes to your axum app to serve the JavaScript required by Tailwind Elements.

Note that this code, including the use statement, should be guarded by a #[cfg(feature = "ssr")] attribute. The default leptos setup should already do this correctly.

6. Add <TwElementsSetup /> to your App component:

use leptos_twelements::TwElementsSetup;

#[component]
pub fn App(cx: Scope) -> impl IntoView {
    // ...
    view! {
        cx,
        // ...
        <TwElementsSetup />
        // ...
    }
}
