Package Exports
- tailwindcss-theming
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (tailwindcss-theming) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Introduction
Note - This plugin works with Tailwind CSS v1.2 upwards.
tailwindcss-theming
is a Tailwind CSS plugin made to solve the common need to have multiple themes in an application. It is also perfect for making dark themes.
It uses CSS Custom Properties in order to make your themes interchangeable on the client-side. Swapping themes is as simple as changing a class of your body
element.
Moreoever, this plugin has full support for the prefers-color-scheme
media query, so you can define a theme that will automatically be picked based on browser preferences.
Get started:
$ yarn add tailwindcss-theming --dev
Compatibility
This plugin is based on CSS Custom Properties, which are not compatible with IE11. You can have partial support for the browsers that do not support them by using a PostCSS plugin that add a fallback for CSS variables, such as postcss-css-variables
or postcss-custom-properties
.
Keep in mind that only your default theme will work with that method.
Alternatives
This plugin is feature-complete, but some alternatives exist. If you're looking for a simpler approach, a different kind of configuration, or just want to know the alternatives, here is a list that you may find useful:

- If you only want the variants functionality.tailwindcss-theme-swapper
- Similar totailwindcss-theming
, but lower-level, and without the variant functionality.- Manually, by adding a
screens
media query in Tailwind's configuration.
