Tailwind-tools with Django-Tailwind

[l2late]

Hello everyone,

After having worked on a tailwind project in vscode. This plugin made me want to try it out in nvim.
I've been trying to get the plugin to work, unfortunately without success.

I can't find anything useful in the LSP logs. All I noticed is that I can't get the tailwind (and html) LSP to set the root dir correctly in nvim. Other LSPs (python, ruff...) work fine.

Note that I added Tailwind to my Django project using Django-Tailwind

Has anyone had a similar issue?
Could anyone give me some pointers as to where I might look for a solution?

Your time and help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm not a Django user but where is the tailwind.config.* file located in a Django tailwind project? Currently, I've configured lspconfig in a way that it only launches when it detects a tailwind.config.* file at the top of the root directory or inside a folder called assets (Phoenix projects), so that could be the issue.

Hello Luckas!
Thank you for your answer!

The Django-Tailwind plugin places all tailwind & js related files in a "theme" directory at the project root.
The tailwind.config.js file is itself in /theme/static_src/
Below, you'll find an example of the structure of said /theme.

├── apps.py
├── static
│   └── css
│   └── dist
│   └── styles.css
├── static_src
│   ├── node_modules/
│   ├── package.json
│   ├── package-lock.json
│   ├── postcss.config.js
│   ├── src/
│   │   └── styles.css
│   └── tailwind.config.js
└── templates/
└── base.html

If I'm understanding you right, i need to configure a different root-dir for the lsp.
Is there a preferred way to configure a different project root for tailwind-tools?

No, you don't have to add anything, the plugin should be responsible of configuring that.

I've added support for Django tailwind it should work now. Let me know if it doesn't.

Thank you! Works like a charm now!
I only couldn't get the colors to preview in cmp but fixed it by manually adding tailwindcss-colorizer-cmp.nvim
