Windi CSS Intellisense

Windi CSS IntelliSense enhances the Windi development experience by providing Visual Studio Code users with advanced features such as autocomplete, syntax highlighting, code folding, and building.

Installation

Install via the Visual Studio Code Marketplace →

Install via the Open VSX Registry →

This plugin packs a windicss compiler, so you can use it without installing windicss, and it also supports the configuration file (tailwind|windi).config.(js|cjs|ts).

Configuration

By default VS Code will not trigger completions when editing "string" content. Updating the editor.quickSuggestions setting may improve your experience:

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
  "strings": true
}

Vscode css validation may display errors when using windi syntax, such as @apply. You can disable this with the `css.validate setting:

"css.validate": false

Features

Autocomplete

Intelligent suggestions for utilities and variants.

Hover Preview

See the complete CSS for a class name by hovering over it.

Syntax Highlighting

Highlight utilities, variants and importants.

Color Preview

Preview color and spectrum.

Code Folding

disabled by default, activate with "windicss.enableCodeFolding"

Fold overly long classes to increase readability.

Compile Commands

Built-in commands, one-key operation.

Visual Analyzer

Browse your utilities usages, have an overview of your design system, identify "bad practices", and more!
