vuetify-tailwind-utility-bridge

Tailwind CSS plugin that brings Vuetify-style utility classes to your project.
Enables Figma design token alignment, Tailwind auto-completion, and incremental migration from Vuetify to Tailwind.

A Tailwind CSS plugin that provides Vuetify-like utility classes — for autocomplete support and progressive migration from Vuetify to Tailwind.

✨ Purpose

This package is designed with two main use cases:

1. Autocomplete support for Vuetify utility classes in VSCode

• Enables Tailwind CSS IntelliSense (autocomplete) for Vuetify utility classes like .ma-1, .text-primary, .elevation-4, etc.
  • see Vuetify utilities
• This does not require Tailwind CSS to be installed in your project.
• This was the original motivation behind creating this plugin — enabling autocomplete even in a Vuetify-only project.

🛠 Recommended VSCode settings

Add the following to your .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "tailwindCSS.includeLanguages": {
    "vue": "html",
    "plaintext": "html"
  },
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "strings": true
  }
}

✨ Features

• 🔧 Provides Vuetify-style utility classes (.d-flex, .ma-2, .rounded-lg, etc.)
• 🎨 Maps Vuetify design tokens to Tailwind utility conventions
• 🧩 Enables Tailwind IntelliSense / autocomplete in VSCode
• 📦 Lightweight and framework-agnostic plugin
• 🪜 Perfect for incremental migration from Vuetify to Tailwind
• Theme injection (only Colors)

Unsupported Features

• RTL mode
• Expand css variables (e.g. var(–v-hover-opacity);)
• partial typography utilities(see src/generated/vuetifyUtilities.ts)

🛠 Usage

1. Add Tailwind CSS IntelliSense in your VSCode
2. Add this plugin on your tailwindcss.config.js
   1. You don't need to install tailwindcss if you want to use this module for autocompletion.

const vuetifyUtilityBridgePlugin = require('vuetify-tailwind-utility-bridge');

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  corePlugins: [],
  content: ['**/*.vue', '**/*.js', '**/*.ts'],
  plugins: [vuetifyUtilityBridgePlugin.vuetifyPlugin()],
  // or your Vuetify theme (yourTheme: Vuetify ThemeDefinition)
  // plugins: [vuetifyUtilityBridgePlugin.vuetifyPlugin({ theme: yourTheme })],
};

---

🚀 Use Case

• Bring Tailwind-class auto-completion to Vuetify-based components
• Use it as a design token bridge between Vuetify and Figma
• Gradually refactor Vuetify components into Tailwind
