Btw, I tried adding __mix_recompile__?/0
and it didn't help.
Did you try mix deps.compile tailwind_formatter --force
? I would be curious what your current use-case is, unless it's just loading in the custom classes for the first time
Unfortunate that @external_resource
don't work with libraries–I like the idea of adding a compiler to trigger. Loading in a ~100k lines file on every format
sounds like it would make things a lot slower, but if it isn't too noticeable I would agree that's the least complex solution
mix deps.compile tailwind_formatter --force
does work and it's what I use. The times that I have to do it are:
tailwind.config.js
mix clean --deps
Granted, this is not very often.
Another convenience that doing this at runtime might be being able call Mix.Task.run("tailwind", ["default"])
(if the task exists).
Would be nice for things to "just work" and not have to keep a mental checklist of when to run force recompilation for sure. I can see how just doing it at runtime is the easiest path forward
Not sure yet which is the best solution.
Sometimes I wonder how hard it'd be to recreate TailwindCSS in Eilxir so there's no more FFI 🤔
The
Order
class doesn't get recompiled when external resources are created or modified.Relevant thread: https://elixirforum.com/t/recompile-dependency-based-on-external-resource/49030
I'm wondering if we should just read the files at runtime and ensure they're only read once for each invocation of
TailwindFormatter.format/2
. I'm hoping that won't take too long. I'll be happy to take a stab at this.
