library0.0.27jsnpmunverified

A tool (v0.0.27) that parses source files to extract custom Tailwind CSS class names used in HTML/JSX templates and consolidates them into a single JSON file. It relies on AST-based parsing to identify dynamic or custom class combinations that Tailwind's default purge might miss. The project is in early development with no release cadence; its key differentiator is focused extraction of custom classes for Tailwind's safelist, intended for build pipeline integration via npm scripts. Currently limited to default 'src' folder and outputs 'extracted-classes.json'.

Code
Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

extract-classes CLI
✓ npx extract-classes
✗ extract-classes
The package provides a CLI binary with name 'extract-classes', not a programmatic API. Use npx or add as npm script.
automated usage
✓ {"scripts": {"extract": "extract-classes"}}
✗ {"scripts": {"extract": "tailwind-transpiler"}}
Script expects the command name 'extract-classes', not the package name.
custom folder argument
✓ extract-classes ./custom-folder
✗ extract-classes --folder=./custom-folder
Pass target folder as positional argument, not a flag.

Install as dev dependency and run the CLI to extract custom Tailwind classes from source code into extracted-classes.json.

npm install tailwind-transpiler --save-dev // package.json "scripts": { "extract": "extract-classes" } npm run extract // Or with custom folder: npm run extract -- src/components
tt --version
Debug
Known issues
gotchaCLI name 'extract-classes' may conflict with other packages that expose a binary with same name.
fix
Use npx tailwind-transpiler or specify full path in npm scripts.
