# Tailwind Capsize

TailwindCSS plugin to generate utilities that trim the whitespace above and

[Capsize](https://github.com/seek-oss/capsize) library.

## Installation

```bash
# npm
npm i --save-dev @asyarb/tailwind-capsize
```

## Configuration

To get started, add a `capsize` key to your Tailwind theme. The value for
`capsize` should be an object whose keys map to the keys in `theme.fontFamily`
with values that are "font metrics".

See below for an example config:

```js
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
content: [],

theme: {
fontFamily: {
sans: ['Inter var', 'system-ui'],
},

capsize: {
metrics: {
sans: require('@capsizecss/metrics/inter'),
},
},
},

plugins: [require('@asyarb/tailwind-capsize')],
}
```

To learn how to get the metrics for your font, please reference the
[Capsize Website](https://seek-oss.github.io/capsize/).

## Usage

Usage is best explained with an example:

```html

Trimmed Text


Trimmed


Also trimmed



```

### With @apply

Use the `@apply` directive normally:

```css
p {
@apply capsize font-sans text-xl leading-none;
}
```

### Trimming by default

This plugin currently does not support applying the `capsize` class by default.
If you wish to trim text elements by default, consider using `@apply`:

```css
:where(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p) {
@apply capsize;
}
```

#### Opting out of trimming

If you've applied trimming higher up in the cascade, you can undo trimming via
the `no-capsize` utility.

```css
:where(.applies-capsize > p) {
@apply capsize;
}
```

```html


I will not be trimmed!



```

## Fluid Utilities

This plugin supports "fluid" typography with `clamp()` as described in this
[Smashing Magazine](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/01/modern-fluid-typography-css-clamp/)
post.

> Opting-out of trimming via `no-capsize` is also available for fluid
> typography.

```html


Trimmed Fluid Text


Trimmed


Also trimmed



```

### Generated classes

| **Class** | **Theme Key** | **Description** |
| ----------------- | :--------------: | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `from-text-[]` | `theme.fontSize` | Specify a font size to start with. Must be in `px` or `rem` units. Supports arbitrary values. |
| `to-text-[]` | `theme.fontSize` | Specify a font size to end with. Must be in `px` or `rem` units. Supports arbitrary values. |
| `screen-[]-to-[]` | `theme.screens` | Specify screen sizes from your config to fluidly scale between. |

### Recommendations

If you are looking to scale up a font size from "mobile", you may wish to add a
"base" screen size to your Tailwind config.

Check out the
[Tailwind docs](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/screens#adding-smaller-breakpoints)
on adding small breakpoints.

## Options

This plugin supports a couple of configuration options. You can supply them as
shown:

```js
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
// ...rest of your theme
plugins: [
require('@asyarb/tailwind-capsize')({
className: 'trim',
rootFontSize: 10,
rootLineHeight: 1.5,
fluidUtils: true,
}),
],
}
```

| **Option** | **Type** | **Description** | **Default** |
| ---------------- | :-------: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :---------: |
| `className` | `string` | Class used to apply the "trimming styles" to an element. Also affects the `no-` and `-fluid` utilities. | `"capsize"` |
| `rootFontSize` | `number` | `font-size` specified in `:root`. Used to calculate correct `rem` units. | `16` |
| `rootLineHeight` | `number` | `line-height` specified in `:root`. Used as line height in trimming calculations when a `leading-` class is not specified. | `1.2` |
| `fluidUtils` | `boolean` | Enable or disable the generation of fluid typography utilities. | `true` |

## Limitations

- Only accepts `rem`, `px`, or plain `number`s for `theme.fontSize` values in a
Tailwind theme.
- Only accepts `unitless` values for `theme.lineHeight` values in a Tailwind
theme.
