eslint-plugin-prettier VS twind

You can also add ESLint now (props to @femincan for the suggestion). It comes with recommended settings for these plugins: typescript, prettier, react, react-hooks, jsx-a11y.

I recommend installing and configuring the eslint-plugin-prettier package in your project: https://github.com/prettier/eslint-plugin-prettier

eslint-plugin-prettier

Another approach that you can also take is a sort of "prettier as an ESLint plugin" option, such with eslint-plugin-prettier. The idea is that the developer only needs to run one tool (ESLint), but you add a plugin to ESLint that just calls prettier and converts the prettier error messages to ESLint error messages. I've worked at companies that have used this approach, and it makes setting up your editor/IDE very simple, because you've only got one tool to configure. That said, I personally don't like it because it forces you to use ESLint's "auto fix" functionality, which I find works well for formatting, but IME less well for some of the other lints.

A comprehensive set of formatting (through eslint-plugin-prettier) and linting rules, generated with Clinter. Once again, each package can easily extend the root configuration.

The eslint-config-prettier package disables all ESLint rules that might conflict with Prettier. This lets us use ESLint configurations without letting it get in the way when using Prettier. We can then use the eslint-plugin-prettier package to integrate Prettier rules into ESLint rules. Finally, we must set the Prettier rules in the ESLint configuration file. Add the following configuration to the .eslintrc file in the root directory of the application:

We run prettier through eslint, and run eslint through jest which provides parallelism. eslint also has a cache... So I'm not sure what dprint gets you over that?

I personally use eslint-plugin-prettier so Prettier formatting issues are shown in my editor and are reported when linting using ESLint.

When installing the Prettier and ESLint extensions for VSCode, formatting and linting will also work within VSCode for any files in the monorepo. Only tweak required to make this work is to configure the Prettier plugin for ESLint (see example .eslintrc.json). Otherwise Prettier and ESLint will get in each other’s way and make for a poor editing experience. To make this work, the following two settings will also need to be configured in a .vscode/settings.json configuration (see settings.json):

NOTICE: The template does not use eslint-plugin-prettier and prettier-eslint. So I recommend that running commands individually. e.g. prettier && eslint.

I think TW syntax is great as a CSS shorthand. I think it can be a great tool for making highly descriptive styles in a far more succinct fashion. I think if you you use Twind compiler and you store TW syntax outside of your templates/JSX and you just compile it down to descriptive class names, that's a great use of Tailwind. Then you get the advantage of meaningful names applied to elements in the template, and if you need to refactor/fix a style, then you can find it much easier. It also makes it a lot more dynamic, which standard Tailwind which can be a PITA to make dynamic (e.g. for dynamic behavior in Twind, you can have functions that generate TW style strings and use interpolated strings without having to worry about if the build-time TW compiler understands all the possibilities).

But at least you like something. And I get why people like Tailwind, but I end up finding it constricting for behavior that results in dynamic styles. But I've tried Twind which is a runtime TW compiler and it fixes most of my complaints and it has the same SSR-ability like Stitches & Emotion.

The CSS-in-JS library solves problems of global nature of CSS and of specificity by providing scoping in a unique class-name. It has some cost attached to it i.e run-time which is being solved by order libs vanilla-extract-css. I'm a big fan of tailwind and I honestly believe it is enough for your project. If you also need dynamic styles then CSS-in-JS is better over tailwind, though there are solutions like twind which provide a flavor of tailwind with the CSS-in-JS approach they do have all cons of any CSS-in- JS libraries. I'm very excited about styles by Facebook and waiting for the day it will be open-sourced or CSS itself evolves to me provide scoping and be more modular, until that day comes I'm betting on CSS-in-JS with stitches and vanilla-extract-css.

what framwork are you coming from? i honestly wouldn’t try fresh unless you are using tailwind - bootstrap components are jsx based, and fresh is based off islands architecture which would make integrating the two trickier since youd have to route through deno + the preact compat lib. if you really want to do it, read into this. that being said, tailwind is a very powerful tool. i use it daily in nearly every element on front end, and as someone who likes avoiding design as much as possible ive found tailwind (and twind) are extremely pleasant to work with since it’s mostly class/keyword based styling as opposed to css / sass / scss styling

I want to do something similar with Remix to make a separate stylesheet per route with content coming from a CMS like WordPress. I’ve had my eye on Twind once they add compatibility with v3 and all the JIT stuff. https://twind.dev/

When initializing a new project, Fresh will also ask if you want to use Twind, which is a Tailwind-to-JS library. If you choose this option, then you will have the power of Tailwind without creating a config file or using PostCSS, which I thought is pretty cool.
