twind + LitElement

twind - A small compiler that turns Tailwind short hand into CSS rules at run, build or serve time. If you have used Tailwind and/or a CSS-in-JS solution before then most of the API will feel very familiar.

Homepage: https://twind.dev/

GitHub: https://github.com/tw-in-js/twind

import { LitElement, html } from "lit";
import { create, cssomSheet } from 'twind'

// 1. Create separate CSSStyleSheet
const sheet = cssomSheet({ target: new CSSStyleSheet() })

// 2. Use that to create an own twind instance
const { tw } = create({ sheet })

export class MyCounter extends LitElement {
  static properties = {
    count: { type: Number },
  };

  static styles = [sheet.target];

  constructor() {
    super();
    this.count = 0;
  }

  inc() {
    this.count++;
  }

  dec() {
    this.count--;
  }

  render() {
    return html`
      <p class="${tw`invisible`}">This uses CSSStyleSheet but<br>it's not supported in Firefox.</p>
