phoenixframework/tailwind

This system is an Elixir library that integrates Tailwind CSS into Mix-based projects. It manages the installation and configuration of the Tailwind CLI binary, supporting per-profile version overrides and custom binary sources. The library ensures compatibility with modern asset structures and provides tooling to handle dependency requirements like inets and ssl.

The library now targets Tailwind CSS v4.3.0 (updated from v3.0.7) and adjusts default configuration paths to align with modern asset structures (e.g., \assets/css/app.css\). A key behavioral change is the introduction of per-profile version configuration, allowing different Mix profiles to specify their own Tailwind CLI versions. This is incompatible with the global \:path\ setting, which will now raise an error at boot if a profile specifies a version while \:path\ is set. Additionally, a new \:version\_check\ config option allows users to skip the executable version check, useful when managing the Tailwind CLI via npm.

The \mix tailwind.install\ task now supports configuring and installing Tailwind versions per Mix profile, ensuring the correct binary is used for each environment. It also allows users to install the Tailwind executable from a custom URL, which is useful for unsupported platforms. Additionally, the task ensures that \inets\ and \ssl\ applications are started before installation and runs \loadpaths\ to ensure assets are set up correctly.

The default version of the Tailwind CSS binary used by the application has been upgraded from 3.0.7 to 4.3.0. This change ensures that the tooling relies on the latest stable release of Tailwind CSS, which may include new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes compared to the previous version.

config · high confidence

Added tests to verify that the application raises an error when a custom binary path is set alongside a per-profile version override, while confirming normal operation when no version override is present. The test suite also validates that the binary path generation correctly preserves executable extensions on Windows and appends version suffixes for other targets. Additionally, a test confirms that installing with a custom configuration URL successfully updates the binary to the specified version, and the global test timeout has been increased to 180 seconds.

This release updates the project to version 0.5.1 and raises the minimum Elixir requirement to 1.14. It removes the dependency on the CAStore library, which is no longer included in the lock file, and marks the inets and ssl applications as optional extra applications to avoid imposing them on users. Additionally, documentation tooling dependencies such as ex\_doc, earmark\_parser, makeup, and nimble\_parsec have been updated to newer versions.
