Can you give a concrete example of something that doesn't work? Are you trying to override the form styles with custom styles that you are putting in the base layer?
Can you give a concrete example of something that doesn't work? Are you trying to override the form styles with custom styles that you are putting in the base layer?
Yep, that's pretty much it.
I am customizing the base style of tailwindcss-forms
like this:
@layer base {
.form-checkbox:focus, .form-radio:focus {
--tw-ring-color: transparent;
}
}
It needs to be at the base layer because, well, it is the base style.
Those classes are in the components layer so why not use @layer components
? When using the class strategy I don't consider them base styles because they aren't applied by default, you have to opt-in to them by adding a class.
I guess that's work, too; apology for the fuss.
I kind of want to leave some room because of the unseen (future), but this is probably YAGNI stuff.
Nevertheless, all strategies at the base layer have advantages in some aspects. Their consistency makes the overriding layer agnostic to the strategies used. This makes it easier to share snippets in certain situations.
That said, the advantage is likely marginal; thanks for the swift replies.
What version of @tailwindcss/forms are you using?
v0.5.7
Describe your issue
I read the discussion https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-forms/issues/22. The thread has been closed by adding
class
strategy.Sorry to bring this up again
However, the
class
strategy is not easily overridable because it was placed later in the CSS file (at the components layer). No matter the strategy used,tailwindcss-forms
should always be a base, ready to be overridden by other stylings.Why the need for overrides?
I can't talk for others, as you'll see some of them on the discussion links above, but for me,
tailwindcss-forms
adds colors that almost always need overriding because they stand out like sore thumbs.What should we do?
Can we move CSS declarations of
class
strategy fromcomponents
layer tobase
layer? Basically, modify the code here: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-forms/blob/c9d9da3e010b194a1f0e9c36fbd98c83e4762840/src/index.js#L353 fromaddComponents
toaddBase
.Why do I, or other similar people, use
tailwindcss-forms
at all?tailwindcss
has its ecosystem, and some 3rd-party components expecttailwindcss-forms
to be there as the base. We still want to work withtailwindcss-forms
and the people creating those components, even if we are not a fan of the approaches.
