@mogeko/typography
A typography plugin for Tailwind CSS.
It is a group of beautiful typographic that can be used to style any vanilla HTML you don’t control (like Markdown, or a CMS). Its usage is similar to the official typography plug-in of Tailwind CSS (Use the prose class), but it is simpler. This means that it is easier for you to develop your own plug-ins according to your project.
Installation
Install the plugin from pnpm (alse works with npm or yarn):
pnpm install -D @mogeko/typographyThen, add the plugin to your tailwind.config.ts file:
import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";
export default {
theme: {
// ...
},
plugins: [
require("@mogeko/typography"),
// ...
],
} satisfies Config;Usage
Use the prose classes to add sensible typography styles to any vanilla HTML:
<article class="prose lg:prose-lg">
<h1>Sonnet 1: From Fairest Creatures We Desire Increase</h1>
<p>
From fairest creatures we desire increase,<br />
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,<br />
But as the riper should by time decrease,<br />
His tender heir mught bear his memeory:<br />
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,<br />
Feed’st thy light’st flame with self-substantial fuel,<br />
Making a famine where abundance lies,<br />
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.<br />
Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament<br />
And only herald to the gaudy spring,<br />
Within thine own bud buriest thy content<br />
And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.<br />
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,<br />
To eat the world’s due, by the grave and thee.

</article>Adding or modify CSS
Add or modify CSS by setting tailwind.config.ts file:
import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";
export default {
theme: {
extend: {
// ...
typography: {
sm: {
/* under the class `prose-sm` */
h1: { fontSize: "2rem" },
},
DEFAULT: {
/* under the class `prose` */
h1: { fontSize: "3rem" },
},
lg: {
/* under the class `prose-lg` */
h1: { fontSize: "4rem" },
},
},
// ...
},
},
plugins: [
require("@mogeko/typography"),
// ...
],
} satisfies Config;Tailwind’s plugin system expects CSS rules written as JavaScript objects, using the same sort of syntax you might recognize from CSS-in-JS libraries like Emotion, powered by postcss-js under-the-hood.
{
DEFAULT: {
'.card': {
'background-color': '#fff',
'border-radius': '.25rem',
'box-shadow': '0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.2)',
}
}
}Nesting is also supported (powered by postcss-nested), using the same syntax you might be familiar with from Sass or Less:
{
DEFAULT: {
'.card': {
'background-color': '#fff',
'border-radius': '.25rem',
'box-shadow': '0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.2)',
'&:hover': {
boxShadow: '0 10px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.2)',
}
}
}
}Set custom colors
We use three simple CSS variables to set the Primary color, Muted color and radius of rounded corners respectively.
You can modify them directly in the tailwind.config.ts file:
import colors from "tailwindcss/colors";
import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";
export default {
theme: {
extend: {
// ...
typography: {
DEFAULT: {
"--tw-prose-primary": colors.slate[900] /* #0f172a */,
"--tw-prose-muted": colors.slate[200] /* #e2e8f0 */,
"--tw-prose-radius": ".5rem" /* 8px */,
},
},
// ...
},
},
plugins: [
require("@mogeko/typography"),
// ...
],
} satisfies Config;Changing the default class name
If you need to use a class name other than prose for any reason, you can do so using the className option when registering the plugin:
import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";
export default {
theme: {
// ...
},
plugins: [
require("@mogeko/typography")({
className: "wysiwyg",
}),
// ...
],
} satisfies Config;Now every instance of prose in the default class names will be replaced by your custom class name:
<article class="wysiwyg lg:wysiwyg-lg">
<h1>My Heading</h1>
<p>...</p>
<p>...</p>
