Plugin Interfaces

You can easily create a plugin through the interface of windicss. Windicss is built based on TypeScript, so we highly recommend that you use Typescript to build plugins, it will give you good type support and completion tips, of course, if you want to use JavaScript, it is also supported.

Add Static Utilities

Basic Usage

import plugin from 'windicss/plugin'

plugin(({ addUtilities }) => {
  addUtilities({
    '.aspect-none': {
      'position': 'static',
      'paddingBottom': '0',
      '> *': {
        position: 'static',
        height: 'auto',
        width: 'auto',
        top: 'auto',
        right: 'auto',
        bottom: 'auto',
        left: 'auto',
      },
    },
  })
})

Add Dynamic Utilities

Basic Usage

addDynamic('filter', ({ Utility, Style }) => {
  return Utility.handler
    .handleStatic(Style('filter'))
    .createProperty(['-webkit-filter', 'filter'])
})

Add Components

import plugin from 'windicss/plugin'

plugin(({ addComponents }) => {
  addComponents({
    '.btn': {
      padding: '.5rem 1rem',
      borderRadius: '.25rem',
      fontWeight: '600',
    },
    '.btn-blue': {
      'backgroundColor': '#3490dc',
      'color': '#fff',
      '&:hover': {
        backgroundColor: '#2779bd',
      },
    },
  })
})

Add Variants

Modify Selectors

import plugin from 'windicss/plugin'

plugin(({ addVariant }) => {
  addVariant('pointer-group-hover', ({ modifySelectors }) => {
    return modifySelectors(({ className }) => {
      return `.no-touch .group:hover .${className}`
    })
  })
})

Add Base Styles

import plugin from 'windicss/plugin'

plugin(({ addBase, theme }) => {
  addBase({
    h1: { fontSize: theme('fontSize.2xl') },
    h2: { fontSize: theme('fontSize.xl') },
    h3: { fontSize: theme('fontSize.lg') },

Using loadPlugin interface

import { Processor } from 'windicss/lib'
import aspectRatio from 'windicss/plugin/aspect-ratio'

describe('Aspect Ratio Plugin', () => {
  it('should generate correct css', () => {
    const processor = new Processor()
    processor.loadPlugin(aspectRatio)
    const result = processor.interpret('aspect-none aspect-w-16 aspect-h-9 aspect-9/16')
    expect(result.ignored.length).toEqual(0)
    expect(result.styleSheet.build()).toEqual('...')
  })
})

Using configuration

import { Processor } from 'windicss/lib'
import aspectRatio from 'windicss/plugin/aspect-ratio'

describe('Aspect Ratio Plugin', () => {
  it('should generate correct css', () => {
    const processor = new Processor({
      plugins: [
        aspectRatio(),
      ],
    })
    const result = processor.interpret('aspect-none aspect-w-16 aspect-h-9 aspect-9/16')
    expect(result.ignored.length).toEqual(0)
    expect(result.styleSheet.build()).toEqual('...')
  })
})
