# Mailwind
Use Tailwind CSS to design HTML emails.

Tailwind makes it very easy to design websites, why not use it to design HTML emails? I've been using this for [volt.fm](https://volt.fm) and [pikaso.me](https://pikaso.me) and it has made my life a lot easier.

## Install
```
npm install -g mailwind
```

## Usage

Design your HTML email using the Tailwind utility classes like you normally would for the web.

Then run the following command to generate the corresponding CSS file:

```
mailwind --input-html email.html --output-css style.css
```

Or run this command to generate an inlined HTML file:

```
mailwind --input-html email.html --output-html email-inlined.html
```

## Options

`--input-css`

The path to your base CSS file. Use this if you need to write custom CSS. Defaults to [style.css](./src/style.css).

`--input-html`

The path to your HTML email file.

`--output-css`

The path to the CSS file that will be generated.

`--output-html`

The path to the inlined HTML file that will be generated.

`--tailwind-config`

The path to your custom Tailwind configuration file. Defaults to [tailwind.config.js](./src/tailwind.config.js).

## Note

In the provided default config file, all the units are changed to pixel which is probably what you want for HTML emails.

## Example

Given an `email.html` file with this content:

```html


Welcome


```

running this command:
```
mailwind \
--input-html email.html \
--output-css style.css \
--output-html email-inlined.html
```

will generate the following CSS and inlined HTML files:

```css
.text-lg {
font-size: 18px
}

.font-bold {
font-weight: 700
}
```

```html


Welcome


```
