Windi CSS (no longer required)

For your consideration. Supposedly it drastically improves dev start up times which is a common problem when using Tailwind.

Edit: this may no longer be required due to improvements in core tailwind: #264 (comment)

Thanks for creating the issue, we are already testing it and see how we can integrate it properly.

Happy to take a look at this.

Any notes on implementation? Should we expect users to do the migration steps themselves? https://windicss.netlify.app/guide/migration.html#base-styles

Don't know if it helps but I'm also tracking nuxt-build-optimisations repo who are also looking to implement it automatically so there might be some pointers:

Haha good to know someone is watching 👀

Update for you @Atinux:

To implement this using the loader vue-windicss-preprocess is pretty much there. The missing pieces are: the loader doesn't support passing the config in as an object (breaking hooks), which I have sent a PR for and updating the documentation site.

I am a little bit concerned with this issue windicss/vue-windicss-preprocess#3. If the base loader has some bugs with vendor packages then it may trip up some users. Will need some more testing.

Code is here: harlan-zw@0670b97

Thank you so much for looking at it and making progress @loonpwn

I will take a look as soon as I am done recording my talk for Nuxt 3 for VueJS Amsterdam.

@Atinux Could you publish the roadmap for Nuxt3? I can't wait to know when it's released

[Mikaleb]

@viennv1709 I think we'll get all details after the VueJS Amsterdam talks. You can follow it live next week though, I sure will !

This may not be required anymore, Adam seems to be working on vastly improving Tailwind HMR/build times in the core of tailwind:

[Atinux]

Indeed, I am already testing with it (private at the moment) and we see perfs improvements 😄

[harlan-zw]

Windicss implementation will released as a seperate package. This can probably be closed.
