What is Tailwind CSS Formatter?

Tailwind CSS Formatter is a specialized tool designed to sort and organize Tailwind CSS utility classes automatically. Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides low-level utility classes to build custom designs, but managing and organizing these classes can become challenging in complex projects.

Our Tailwind formatter ensures your utility classes follow a consistent order across your entire project, making your code more readable and maintainable for development teams working with React, Vue, Angular, and other modern frameworks.

Key Benefits:

  • Automatic Class Sorting: Organize classes by category (layout, spacing, colors, etc.) for better readability
  • Multi-Framework Support: Works with HTML, React JSX, Vue templates, Angular, Svelte, and more
  • Responsive Order: Properly sort responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:, xl:, 2xl:) for mobile-first design
  • State Variants: Organize state variants (hover:, focus:, active:) in logical order
  • Custom Configuration: Support for custom Tailwind configurations and class functions

Perfect for web developers, frontend engineers, and design system teams working with Tailwind CSS in modern web applications and component libraries.

How to Use Tailwind CSS Formatter

  1. Paste Your Code: Copy your HTML, JSX, Vue, or other template code with Tailwind classes
  2. Configure Options: Set preferences for class sorting and custom functions like clsx or cn
  3. Format Classes: Click "Format & Sort Classes" to automatically organize all utility classes
  4. Copy Results: Use the formatted code in your project with improved readability

Class Sorting Order:

  • Effects & Transforms: shadows, opacity, and transform utilities
  • Transitions: animation and transition properties
  • Interactive States: hover, focus, and other state variants last

Tailwind CSS Best Practices

Consistent class ordering improves code maintainability and makes it easier for teams to read and understand component styling. Our formatter follows the official Tailwind CSS recommendations for class organization.

Framework Integration:

  • React/Next.js: Works with className attributes and conditional class logic
  • Vue/Nuxt: Supports :class bindings and dynamic class objects
  • Angular: Compatible with [class] bindings and ngClass directives
  • Svelte/SvelteKit: Handles class: directives and conditional classes
  • Astro: Works with class attributes and component-scoped styles

The formatter automatically detects your framework and applies appropriate formatting rules while preserving the functionality of your template syntax.
