This PR adds support for requiring a custom prefix on utility classes.
Prefixes work a bit differently in v4 than they did in v3:
- They look like a custom variant: `tw:bg-white`
- It is always first in a utility — even before other variants:
`tw:hover:bg-white`
- It is required on **all** utility classes — even arbitrary properties:
`tw:[color:red]`
- Prefixes also apply to generated CSS variables which will be separated
by a dash: `--tw-color-white: #fff;`
- Only alpha (a-z) characters are allowed in a prefix — so no `#tw#` or
`__` or similar prefixes are allowed
To configure a prefix you can use add `prefix(tw)` to your theme or when
importing Tailwind CSS like so:
```css
/* when importing `tailwindcss` */
@import 'tailwindcss' prefix(tw);
/* when importing the theme separately */
@import 'tailwindcss/theme' prefix(tw);
/* or when using an entirely custom theme */
@theme prefix(tw) {
--color-white: #fff;
--breakpoint-sm: 640px;
/* … */
}
```
This will configure Tailwind CSS to require a prefix on all utility
classes when used in HTML:
```html
<div class="tw:bg-white tw:p-4">
This will have a white background and 4 units of padding.
</div>
<div class="bg-white p-4">
This will not because the prefix is missing.
</div>
```
and when used in CSS via `@apply`:
```css
.my-class {
@apply tw:bg-white tw:p-4;
}
```
Additionally, the prefix will be added to the generated CSS variables.
You **do not** need to prefix the variables in the `@theme` block
yourself — Tailwind CSS handles this automatically.
```css
:root {
--tw-color-white: #fff;
--tw-breakpoint-sm: 640px;
}
```
A prefix is not necessary when using the `theme(…)` function in your CSS
or JS given that plugins will not know what the current prefix is and
must work with or without a prefix:
```css
.my-class {
color: theme(--color-white);
}
```
However, because the variables themselves are prefixed when outputting
the CSS, you **do** need to prefix the variables when using `var(…)` in
your CSS:
```css
.my-class {
color: var(--tw-color-white);
}
```
If you want to customize the prefix itself change `tw` to something
else:
```css
/* my:underline, my:hover:bg-red-500, etc… */
@import 'tailwindcss' prefix(my);
```
