Windi CSS is a next-generation utility-first CSS framework, fully compatible with Tailwind CSS v2, that scans your templates and generates only the utilities you use on demand for fast builds and HMR. The project has been officially sunset, and new projects are advised to seek alternatives.
Use cases
- generate utility-first css on demand for vue or svelte apps
- speed up tailwind-style development with fast hot module reload
- use arbitrary values like p-5px or bg-[hsl(...)] in class names
- group variant utilities like hover:(bg-gray-400 font-medium)
- define reusable component shortcuts from utility combinations
- add dark mode and rtl support with zero configuration
When to choose
- maintaining an existing project already built on Windi CSS
- you need Tailwind v2 compatibility with on-demand generation and faster HMR
- you want variant groups, shortcuts, or value auto-infer beyond Tailwind v2 features
When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is officially sunset and unmaintained going forward
- you need Tailwind CSS v3+ features or ecosystem plugins
- your build tooling lacks a maintained Windi integration
