Tailwind Config

tailwind.config.ts

import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss'

const config: Config = {
  darkMode: ['class'],
  content: ['./src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        background: 'hsl(var(--background))',
        foreground: 'hsl(var(--foreground))',
        primary: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--primary))',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--primary-foreground))',
        },
        secondary: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--secondary))',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--secondary-foreground))',
        },
        muted: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--muted))',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--muted-foreground))',
        },
        accent: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--accent))',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--accent-foreground))',
        },
        destructive: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--destructive))',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--destructive-foreground))',
        },
        border: 'hsl(var(--border))',
        input: 'hsl(var(--input))',
        ring: 'hsl(var(--ring))',
        card: {
          DEFAULT: 'hsl(var(--card))',
          foreground: 'hsl(var(--card-foreground))',
        },
      },
      borderRadius: {
        lg: 'var(--radius)',
        md: 'calc(var(--radius) - 2px)',
        sm: 'calc(var(--radius) - 4px)',
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [],
}

HSL Format Benefits

Using HSL without function allows opacity modifiers:

// With HSL format (space-separated)
<div className="bg-primary/50">   // 50% opacity
<div className="text-primary/80"> // 80% opacity

// CSS output
background-color: hsl(217 91% 60% / 0.5);

Component Classes

Button Example

@layer components {
  .btn {
    @apply inline-flex items-center justify-center
           rounded-md font-medium
           transition-colors
           focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2
           focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2
           disabled:pointer-events-none disabled:opacity-50;
  }

  .btn-default {
    @apply bg-primary text-primary-foreground
           hover:bg-primary/90;
  }

  .btn-secondary {
    @apply bg-secondary text-secondary-foreground
           hover:bg-secondary/80;
  }

  .btn-outline {
    @apply border border-input bg-background
           hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground;
  }

  .btn-ghost {
    @apply hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground;
  }

  .btn-destructive {
    @apply bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground
           hover:bg-destructive/90;
  }

  /* Sizes */
  .btn-sm { @apply h-8 px-3 text-xs; }
  .btn-md { @apply h-10 px-4 text-sm; }
  .btn-lg { @apply h-12 px-6 text-base; }
}

Spacing Integration

// tailwind.config.ts
theme: {
  extend: {
    spacing: {
      // Map to CSS variables if needed
      'section': 'var(--spacing-section)',
      'component': 'var(--spacing-component)',
    }
  }
}

Animation Tokens

// tailwind.config.ts
theme: {
  extend: {
    transitionDuration: {
      fast: '150ms',
      normal: '200ms',
      slow: '300ms',
    },
    keyframes: {
      'accordion-down': {
        from: { height: '0' },
        to: { height: 'var(--radix-accordion-content-height)' },
      },
      'accordion-up': {
        from: { height: 'var(--radix-accordion-content-height)' },
        to: { height: '0' },
      },
    },
    animation: {
      'accordion-down': 'accordion-down 0.2s ease-out',
      'accordion-up': 'accordion-up 0.2s ease-out',
    },
  }
}

Dark Mode Toggle

// Toggle dark mode
function toggleDarkMode() {
  document.documentElement.classList.toggle('dark')
}

// System preference
if (window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches) {
  document.documentElement.classList.add('dark')
}

shadcn/ui Alignment

This configuration aligns with shadcn/ui conventions:

  • Same CSS variable naming
  • Same HSL format
  • Same color scale structure
  • Compatible with npx shadcn@latest add commands

Using with shadcn/ui

# Initialize (uses same token structure)
npx shadcn@latest init

# Add components (styled with these tokens)
npx shadcn@latest add button card input

Components will automatically use your design system tokens.
